High-definition capacitive touchscreen

A large floating optically gapless 25.7 cm (10.1 inch) high-definition LCD capacitive touchscreen with 1280 x 720-pixel high resolution offers crisp detail, higher brightness and contrast for superior in-car experience, and its clean interface enables safer and easier operation than ever.

Gapless Anti-glare Display

Unlike a conventional display, the LCD is bonded directly to the protective glass touch layer with a transparent adhesive. The result is an extremely precise touch experience along with enhanced contrast and visual performance. The internal anti-glare filter hugely improves touchscreen visibility by reducing sunlight reflections, ensuring easier and safer driving.

Easily adjustable tilt & swivel

Customisable viewing angle for every journey

The display joint allows you to manually tilt and swivel the display – both at ±15 degrees – to suit your personal preference. This range of movement allows you to not only alter the angle according to your preferred seating position, but also to avoid things like reflection of the direct sunlight, or to share the navigation screen with your passengers.

You can see the images of up to three connected cameras when you shift the vehicle’s transmission lever to the reverse position or tap the dedicated icons on the home screen. By utilising the supplied trigger wires, each camera image can be switched on and off, or from one to another automatically by detecting the vehicle’s turn signals or sensing compatible signals such as that for a connected front camera.
