Default Climate control hard to read w/sunglasses

Does any one else have this issue. If it's a bright sunny day and I have my sunglasses on...it is almost impossible to read the face on the climate control. Take sungalsses off and it's much better. Not sure if someone has polished off the coating on the CC face...or if it's normal. I haven't researched replacing it and its not a huge issue.

Are they polarized?

Yes...radio screen shows up perfectly. It appears maybe some of the coating on the CC lens maybe starting to flake. Just wandered if anyone elso noticed this...can see it fine if I remove my sunglasses.

All LCD screens emit polarized light. I can't see mine either with my polarized sun glasses on. I can't see the navigation screen very well either. This is consistent with my 2015 RX also.

When you cannot see much it means the light and sunglass are at 90 degrees. Just tilt your head 45 deg when looking at CC and it should show much better.
