Default Touchscreen. Lol

I love the new infotainment system. It’s light years better than the previous trackpad/joystick infotainment system. So much so that I’m thinking to trade in the ‘17 RX for the new generation.
But god damnnn….
I bought a screen protector on eBay. We’ll see how it fits. Won’t solve the marks problem but if I have a screen protector on a $1000 phone, why not on a 100k+ car screen. I wish there’s more screen protector options for this.

The RXL I turned in had the touchscreen, still didn't use it. For my seating position it was still too far forward and I wound up using the mouse pad anyway (was a 2021 and had both). I think the wife may have used it since it would have the fingerprints like that. I just kept a lens cloth in the car to clean it. On our 2018 RXL we just had the dealership install the Beat-Sonic wireless system. The wife's very happy with that.

Ugh that’s exactly why I dislike touchscreens. Plus it’s so damn ugly looking having this tablet just jutting out.

I’ll stick to the older, better looking, user interface.

there is no solutions for finger prints other than you don’t press it.

Agree, magic eraser is basically fine grit sand paper...

recommend a matte protector if you can find one... less glare and less noticeable finger prints.

Magic eraser?! JFC. It’s basically sandpaper. Don’t use windex either. Just use a microfiber cloth. If needed make it slightly damp.

So much bizarre alarm about glass touchscreens. I have a 120k miles on a Tesla Model Y. No screen protector, and I don’t have any scratches at all. It’s not like a phone where you’re throwing it around and stuffing it into pockets. When wiping it just be gentle, and be careful that there is no grit/sand between the microfiber towel and screen.

I also have a touchscreen on my Silverado. No screen protector nor do I need one. Couple of wipes with a soft cloth and poof, everything's fine
