Display Screen Material - glass or plastic?
Is that huge screen glass or plastic? If plastic, I’m concerned how you keep it from being scratched when cleaning it. Or if there’s a screen protector for it lol, hopefully one that doesn’t show fingerprints easily lol.

Probably plastic. I intend on never using it as a touch screen, but in case I do, I'm installing one of these.

Yeah I should clarify I just hate touch screens lol Not that there would be anything wrong with it. I love my Mazda CX 50 because I never have to use it as a touch screen. The M2 is so in depth, though, that I'm probably going to eventually use the touch vice controller but I'm going to give it a college try to not touch it.

I had the same goal but failed. The way the screen is laid out lends itself to touching it at times… My screen protector is arriving this week but not to protect from touch as I don’t think touching it damages it, but cleaning will. |

Excellent. Vice the climate. I have yet to find a way to change the temperature without touching EXCEPT with voice. I have figured out how to speak to my car about the HVAC, even completely turning it off, so maybe that's what I'll do. I speak to her in her name, "Hello Miranda." I know naming a car is gooberish, but there it is. Anyway, I also have the shortcuts set up so I just have to tap up on the controller to get to my most used apps. On a side note, after initially "liking" the HUD because of how cool it was compared to the one in my Mazda, I have turned it off. It eventually more annoyed me than anything, just like in my Mazda, so I'm happy we can turn it off. In my Mazda, I cannot. I sit as low as I can in the car and there's little difference between the HUD and dash to make having the HUD in my line of site worthwhile. I found myself going to the dash anyway. Besides, the dash shift lights are more F1 style so there's that.

FYI, voice does everything I need with HVAC without touching the screen.
