The horizontal position adjustment did correct the problem but it is not an easy task. The screen must be removed in order to access the adjust screw. The only way to verify if it is correct is to reassemble and install the nav/radio unit. This took me three attempts.
Position the screen face down with the ribbon cable connector up. The adjust screw is closest to the connector if yours is not marked. Turn the screw clockwise. This will skew it left. You only need about one tenth of a turn. The screw appears as a plus sign. Mine was vertical and horizontal in relation to the screen housing when the adjustment was correct. This may or may not be the case in your situation.
Here is a Youtube link with the disassembly procedure. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-jRorExbnqI (After you tilt out the screen, you only need to remove the 5 amp fuse located in the rear panel-fourth from the front top row-to prevent the screen from returning to normal position)

do you have the pull the whole thing apart or just pull the radio box, and unscrew the screen. from its holders make the adjustment and then screw it back on. Without have to go into the radio box itself and disconnect the ribbon cable.

Unfortunately there are no shortcuts. It must be disassembled as though you were replacing the screen.

Ive been lagging on doing this, but think I will tackle it this weekend. Glad I found something that pointed to the fix though. As irritating as it is (the misaligned screen), I keep finding and excuse to push it back in my "to-do" list.

Mine is off just about as much as yours is...maybe a tad bit less.

Thanks for the info.

Done. I will say for anyone that attempts this...the Adjustment Screws in back of the screen are very sensitive. Small adjustments make very big differences on alignment. The screws are on the backside of the actual screen itself.
