I have a 2000 toyota 4runner and the view of the upper left corner is slightly obstructed. Toyota mounts the radio under the heater vents, cup holder, and heater controls. However, I do like the layout with one exception. I don't know if you have come across this yet but the cup holder opens up in front of the heater vents. I went to McDonalds and got a soda and put it in the cup holder. It was winter so the heater was cranked on high. After a while (of heating) I went to get the soda and the wax cup they use was so hot it left my fingerprints in the wax on the side of the cup and my fingers sore for an hour. It would probably work great for coffee though.

Anyway, the faceplate curve only really covers the left part for me too. There is good visibility of the center and right sides. Mine covers the first 4 characters completely. I happened to switch to a song by No Doubt called
"Just a Girl" but when I looked at it all I saw was
just "a Girl".
