Default Screen protector for navigation

Hello all,

Anyone put screen protector on the navigation and climate control screen? Can you please recommend a good brand? I am thinking about to put one on with glass material.

Thank you.

Audi makes a kit that includes pieces for both front screens.

Do you know if they are made by glass or plastic film?

Thanks.

I have been very satisfied with a Photodon brand for our Honda Pilot, but don't know if they make one for the Audi.

Hello- if your asking about the Audi Touchscreen Protection Film, part # ZAW061193KB, another user warned me about it being plastic, somewhat soft material that scratches easily. I have the factory Audi kit and it’s soft plastic style. Never installed it.

The same user showed it installed from dealer techs where it was very visible and hard to stop bubbles.

I was looking for a tempered glass like on my iPhone that’s invisible, but none found had good reviews so I quit worrying about it. I do wish Audi made the screens more fingerprint resistant but end up cleaning it every time I clean the car.

If you find something that works, please share!

I used the Audi OEM Screen protector that covers both the upper and lower screens. The lower one went on easy and starts put. The upper one peels back slightly from one of the corners. Probably due to my not so perfect installation. It doesn't worry me because it is there for the protection.

I also bought the Audi OEM Screen Protector. I started to install it, but it didn't fit so I returned it.

Default Audi Screen Saver Did Not Fit

I bought the A6 C8 screen kit and discovered the lower one fit the space and the upper one was not even close. Too small and not shaped as a rectangle, similar to the actual screen.
Returning it to the dealer's parts desk today.

I was also not too pleased with the harder plastic the screen savers are made of. I was expecting something softer, similar to what I put on my smartphone screen.
