Default Anyone place a glare proof phone screen on their infotainment touch screen?

I've never seen a solution... everyone always says "deal with it".

If you try it and it works, please let me know!

I may be wrong but don't think any of the smart phones come with a 6.5" screen. iPhone 7 and 8 plus is 5.5. I believe the largest screen out there is on the Galaxy S8plus which is 6.2" so I think that would be the largest.

There are several companies that make anti-glare film for iPads, buying that and cutting it down to size would be an option

If I remember correctly, when I was trying to find a fix for this, Wal-Mart has a laptop l privacy screen that might work for this.

3M makes a computer/ipad security screen that I have read will work. It has to be cut down to size and you have to put it on the right way, so that the privacy feature is up and down and not side to side, if that makes sense. You can order these things from Amazon or Office Depot carries them. I just got a 6.5 and am going to have to get something, the glare is terrible.

Something you can do in the meantime is set it to the "white screen". Forgive me as I don't know the proper term. If I remember correctly you hold down the "info" button for a few.
My wife runs it this way because of the glare on her RGS.

Looking forward to hearing what people get figured out.

It's high contrast.

Not enough of an issue for me. On an entire day's ride, I experience glare maybe 10-20% of the time.

I'm with you about 7 months and 9K miles and it hasn't been enough of an issue to really concern me into looking for a solution
