DIY Car LCD Sun Shader

shade.jpg

While driving my car during a sunny day, I noticed that I can't read the LCD panel of the car (Audio etc').

As a maker, I wanted to find the quickest and simplest solution to that problem - So I made a shade to the LCD - using the CD slot that is above the panel and building a simple shade as follows.

My tip is especially good for travelers since when you hire a car, you might face the same crisis I had, which you can resolve anytime any place.

  1. Measure the size you have for the cardboard shader (Ensure not to disturb the buttons)
  2. Mark centerline on the cardboard
  3. Position the CD with the middle of it on the line.
  4. Stick both using the adhesive tape

Youre done! It Works!

Tips:

  • Some CD players will try to pull the CD and stop all other audio when entering the shade - there's a button to eliminate this auto action.
  • You can put some graphics on the cardboard.
  • Safety - DO NOT try to insert the CD while other CD is in the player.
