Film protector for Sat Nav screen ?
« on: 09 January 2018, 08:46 »
Just musing on something I've just read over at detailing world, where someone asked what was best to protect the touchscreen in his new Fiesta from finger marks / scratches etc. A number of people mentioned a cut down Ipad protector screen ?

I must admit my Nav Pro is a bit of a fingerprint magnet and when the sun's shining on it it's also highly reflective and difficult to see (looking at images, I can only imagine it's worse on the bigger MK 7.5 Nav pro screen).

So question is, has anyone ever fitted one of these - does it work, do the anti-reflective ones actually help and most importantly, does it affect the operation of the touch screen ?

Hello. This is one of the first things that I did when I got my car. Initally I made my own from the ipad screen guard as you said, but then found that a company acutally makes pre cut ones. My car is a mk 7 though, so I know that your infotainment screen is different, but if you search amazon, they may have brought out ones specific for it as well.
With regards to operation, I acutally went for the gloss ones as opposed to the matt finish. It works very well and I like the finish on it as well. It has no impact on operation, so win win all round!

I had something on my old rns510 from a German company called @Folix. Excellent protection and well worth the money.

I got one fitted from the UK Amazon link above. It was easy to install and it looks great, however it's not fingerprint proof as advertised but it definitely offers a layer a protection I am very happy with. I will take a photo later.
