| This applies to all models I think, including Audio 20 although I tried it on COMAND. Measure and cut out a film from those plastic sleeves used to protect your more important documents in a binder. I use the type that is non-glare. It is non-stick but conforms well to the COMAND screen (use only one film or one layer). For COMAND, the size is 3in. x 5.5 in. ![]() Below is a pix of the COMAND screen without the film: ![]() Pix of COMAND screen with the film. It looks a tad more blurry from the film but in reality is not that fuzzy. Works well especially with the retractable roof up and at night. ![]() Disadvantages are: 1. There is more glare if the sun is behind you, but it is very easy to remove the film with 2 fingers. 2. If the roof is retracted and you're driving with the windows down at moderate speed, the film can blow away. I lost one this afternoon after using the film for 3 days. No worries, the film is easy to make and they're inexpensive/cheap.Advantages are: 1. Keeps fingerprints away from the COMAND screen. Most passengers will think it's touch screen. You can pretend to throw a fit when the film comes off after the other party accidentally touches the screen ![]() 2. Quite inexpensive, readily available, easy to replace when lost. 3. No worries about getting bubbles when applying a screen protector that has adhesive.
