TechForums Screen swivel kit

[exlatccatsa]

Being a tall driver, I've always had difficulty reaching the far side of the screen, whilst driving, to select items from the screen menus or to close windows down.
This screen mount kit from Matt onTechForum solves that problem completely. Lowering the screen by about 4 cm and allowing the far side of the screen to rotate about 10cm towards me, meaning I can easily reach the far side of the screen without having to lean forward.
The video link is here.

I've almost purchased this on several occasions.

Nice to hear a UK owners perspective, and the new version that swivels in both directions is appealing.

Does it impede the wireless charging pad in anyway? Is it still easy to drop your phone in and see the phones screen whilst driving?

I don't have wireless charging yet...Making The screen slighty lower means that you have to insert the top of the phone first and you loose the visibility of the very top of the phone screen.
I've taken a couple of pics with my wifes Samsung A40. I hope this helps.
Sorry, for some reason the pics are rotated when uploaded.

I just installed this kit in my 3. It's fantastic. Couldn't recommend it more highly. The owner, Matthew, got back to me, immediately, when I had a question on install. Yes, it's still the same view to see the phone on the charging pad. The swivel Mount doesn't block it at all

What does it look like from behind?

Perhaps you might get a few purchasers together and share out the import duties.. or better still find someone going to the US and get them delivered over there as I did.

I see Hannshow are now selling them too, although not sure if they are distributing for TechForum or have designed/copied their own version:

Shop Model 3 Y Swiveling Screen Mount Kit Online|Hansshow

The Model 3 Y swiveling screen mount kit allows the display to pivot easily left/right or swivel to position exactly where you like it.

$249 delivered and less likely to incur import fees.

Oh I like this! I do keep thinking the screen is pointing away from me.

Where did you order it from? And was it easy to fit?

 

[Kev Reid]

Easy to fit I got it from tessories.uk but there are other places. Check out YouTube videos for swivel screen. I found it very easy and great quality.
fitting the boot kick opener next also from tessories, this looks like a bit more of a challenge

I have got the kick sensor sitting in my garage waiting to be fitted, after seeing your previous post! Was hoping to fit it this weekend, but at a party drinking from 2pm tomorrow, so that might rule out tomorrow and sunday!

I can’t find it on Tessories, could you link please?

I can’t see it there either any more. Check the you tube videos for the installation they have links to other suppliers. The admins don’t like links on the site.
my kick sensor has moved from the garage to the boot. Waiting for a dry day

what does it look like behind the screen?

what does it look like behind the screen?

It’s very neat now - this is the second version and has replaced the cloth cover with custom plastic parts which are a lighter grey thank the dash but the same shade as the dash trim before the wood effect. I’ll put a rear photo up sometime tomorrow. I am happy with the result it looks original.

Really easy - the hardest part is disconecting the screen. Easy does it don’t force it. Follow the videos.
