Many Hilux owners experience issues with the touchscreen becoming unresponsive, slow, o r developing dead spots over time. These problems can be caused by software glitches, hardware wear, o r calibration issues.

If the screen is slow o r lagging, performing a system restart o r factory reset can help clear background processes. Software updates from the manufacturer o r dealer can also improve responsiveness. When the touchscreen develops dead spots, recalibrating the screen if the system allows may restore functionality. If recalibration doesn’t work, the issue is likely hardware-related, requiring a replacement digitizer o r screen.

Some owners experience delayed touch response due to excessive fingerprints o r dust buildup, which can be resolved by cleaning the screen with a microfiber cloth. If the problem persists, switching to an aftermarket infotainment unit from brands like Pioneer, Kenwood, o r Alpine offers a more responsive and durable touchscreen.

To fix touchscreen issues, it is recommended to try software updates, factory resets, screen cleaning, o r consider a replacement if hardware failure is suspected.
