TrueVue: Lexerd - 2010 BMW 128 135 335 328 M3 528 650 Z4 X5 X6 TrueVue Anti-glare Navigation Screen Protector.

*My initial review of the TrueVue Lexerd screen protector for my console display is fair quality. I'm looking for a better quality product. Any recommendation are welcome...You really don't need to use a screen protector, but it's better to be safe than sorry.

I hope this instructions were helpful and it saves you a lot of money. (Replacement screen is ~$3000)
if I can help you with this process please don't hesitate to ask and I may be willing to do it for you. Allen
