Default Polarized sunglasses and the radio LCD

Hey guys, I guess I've officially joined the Honda camp now. Picked up a Galaxy Grey EX two weeks ago for a daily driver (well, I bought an Odyssey for the wife and kids three years ago, but this ones "mine").

Does anyone else hae a problem with the radio LCD and polarized glasses? It seems Honda got the orientation right on the other LCD's but my radio display is blank unless I turn my head. I don't know anyone else with polarized glasses so I don't know if it's my glasses or if they really did screw up on the radio.

It's the glasses. Polarized, I mean. Mine do the same thing, but also do it to other LCD's.

Interesting that the Oakleys work. Mine are Uvex.

I should mention that my car is non-navi so I'm not talking about the screen but the one-like segment LCD on the "regular" radio.

What's odd is that the other LCDs in my car (speedo & odo) work fine with my glasses. Wearing your Oakleys, is there a difference between any of the three LCDs?

None of my LCDs turn dark (and I have non-navi) when I look at them as long as I dont tilt my head, if I tilt it side to side they darken up a bit... but I don't drive around with my head kinked to one side or the other so.
