Touch Screen not so touchy
For some reason my touchscreen works only when it wants to. If I touch certain areas on the screen a different button on the screen gets selected. Other times it doesnt work at all. I have tried cleaning but to no avail...any suggestions?

There is also built-in navigation system diagnostics menu that you can access by pressing Menu, Map and Cancel simultaneously for a few seconds. There's a touchscreen test grid option and maybe there's some sort of system reset option there.
You might also want to try removing the anti-glare coating altogether with alternating applications of Armor All and Endust computer screen wipes.
Paul Mooney describes this process on his navhelp.com site:

The original touch screen display on my 1999 TL would not always respond to touch inputs. I removed the anti-glare coating but that didn't help.
Back in March I installed a used display that I bought on eBay. The new display works perfectly. Be aware that installation is a bit of a process. You have to remove a lot of parts to access the display.
Good luck!
