[quote=""Sanj""]Sit tight on eBay and invest in the wide screen unit and the mk4 satnav unit. You'll feel the car has just lost 20 years!

Bit pricy but WELL worth the upgrade. Win win for you too as it's OEM youll be going to.

Make it FIRST on the list over the other mods you have in mind![/quote]

i *could* take the mk4 out of my e46 and sell it with mk2 in it. i'm giving it away at my asking price anyway so whoever buys it can like it or lump it :rofl:

Then its just the widescreen I need. But Having had the mk4 & 16:9 in so many cars i'm not overly fussed with getting it. No novelty if you know what I mean, but it would be a nice 'to do' at some point.

The only other thing I can think of might be a light spray coating of a clear matt varnish as used by modelmakers? Make sure you mask off completely and carefully, but in theory it ought to work. I've never used it on clear materials but we're only talking a mist coat anyway.[/quote]

Screen protectors did very little to shield the glare in the e46's, but that matt varnish spray idea sounds very good. I will need to experiment on maybe a picture under a glass frame first to test how well it works, but it could be a winner... :thumbsup:
