Good point, Bearr. Yours is branded, and glass. The 'cheap' versions are not branded and acetate. Though they do work.

I've had their anti-glare protectors fitted to my TFT and Nav VI from day 1. I can't remember struggling to read either screen and just dry off with a soft cloth.

So does the Nav touchscreen still work properly with one of those fitted, then?

looks nice and price is ok - I've ordered the anti-glare one to also assist with maintenance/cleaning

As for connected cradle/smartphone nav I'll have to figure something out - someone made one for 3d printing I just need to find someone with the thing (I'll try to post the link with spaces)

So I've purchased and installed the anti-glare TFT protector from Speedo Angels and.. well I'm honestly disappointed :/

When the sun is 11am/1pm hitting it directly from behind me it turns the entire screen into a muted glow and makes it illegible except the parts covered by my shadow. It is somewhat easier to clean I'll give it that but it's 2 steps down from stock legibility of the screen in direct sunlight.

I think I'll take it off during the next wash.

I think spending $50 for the BMW TFT protector would be worth it to you. I have one, and the display is always crisp and clear, no matter what the sun is doing to it.

So have I; and yes, so am I!

I fitted one to my Nav V, and on the one sunny day we've had this summer since then, I have to say that although the touch screen worked fine, it does absolutely nothing to inhibit glare from the sun. Oh well...

Yeah, likely will... this one is going off and I'm due for the first 10k service around October I'll have the BMW a go. Shame really, it comes off as much more 'premium' or at least quality-wise over the Alibaba trash and at 20EUR I expected better.

For anyone else in the same boat/wander - below is the pic this morning, sun behind my back 8am at the type of hazy glare the entire screens receives. It can only get worse ~noon when the sun is up and proper with a direct shine on it. At that point I really couldn't see anything unless I shadowed it, and the screen is far more legible without it in direct sunlight.
