hard part is that you’re not going to know if it’s anti-glare until you’ve fitted it. But probably worth a little extra on the promise it is. The glare isn’t a massive problem anyway as the screen is pretty low in the car - it was just an observation.

Am sure it’s easy enough to fix. Obvs if applying a film it would be better to do that when fitting the digitiser rather than trying to match the cutout in the trim that you see once it’s installed

ok, a few days in now. My one observation would be that the original screen must have had an anti-glare coating that the one I ordered does not - the reflection is quite noticeable. The touchscreen itself works perfectly - I may look for some kind of coating to add. I don’t know if @Jamieframer’s slightly more expensive screen might be better for that. I’m not overly bothered as I’m selling the car next month when my company car arrives - just very glad not to be paying top dollar to a dealer to fix this on a car I’m about to sell.

I just bought this kit for removing the trim. You could use your fingers (maybe) or screwdrivers (risk of scratching stuff). https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07VNPMFJ3?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share but it cost little and made the job easier. This is the digitiser I bought: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/284604121555?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=ykqFwBt-Ri-&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Definitely worth it. For me it was about £25 including buying the necessary tools.

Agreed - just fitted mine this morning - genuinely can’t tell the difference from the original. Very happy with that. Photo taken before I put the trim back on.

Perfect, thanks

yep - saw a video of someone taking the old touchscreen off with a heat gun - that looked like a LOT of work. Only bit I’m curious about is whether you notice the extra panel in use as you’re slightly further away from the LCD screen behind?

Just had an exploratory pull apart of my Amundsen2 unit that has the same issue. I’d say with a bit of patience this is looks like a very doable repair - I spent £7.50 on some trim removal tools (had the torx stuff already) - took about 30-40 minutes going very slowly to get the screen out following that video (so basically everything up to the sticking a second digitiser on bit). Have now ordered a new digitiser from ebay for just under £18, and the unit is now reassembled and back in the car as good/bad as it was before. Given the terrifying prices that people are being quoted, I figure this has to be worth a shot - particularly as I’ll be looking to sell the car in a couple of months anyway. Just a shame as the car’s been brilliant until now but I just had to also replace the water pump so it’s getting expensive.
