Folks,

I am wondering if other members of this forum are experiencing the failing of the anti glare coating on their A6 MMI display. I recently wiped down my MMI display with glass cleaner I normally use for my sunglasses. The active agent is I believe an alcohol base. After wiping the screen I noticed a few small streaks marks that won't come off.

Is this normal for a new MMI display to do this? I purchased a new 2007 3.2 quattro A6 about 2 weeks ago.

I am currently exploring whether I can use a new car warranty to replace the screen.

If anyone has had a similar experience, I would welcome your thoughts.

Regards,
Andy

Really! Well this may be 1 hell of an expensive lesson learned. I just can't believe there are no warning information about this. I looked in the user manual and there is no warnings about this.

Screen appears to be about 750 euros! Not including labor! I just hope this is a covered warranty item.

add some non-moisturizing soap if streak won't come off. If it is still there, you probably ruined your anti-reflective coating.

I am in the optical business so here are some cleaning tips.

Never clean the screen dry.

Never use hot water.

Never use household cleaners that contain harsh chemicals or ammonia.

Only use a spray approved for anti-reflective coatings on your screen.

Do not spray directly onto the screen, use a soft paper towel or lint free cloth to apply and dry. Afterwards, use a micro-fiber cloth to remove streaks.

I'm happy with Plexus with a MF towel.

Made by Stoner. Great for all my monitors and do not seem to affect the anti glare coating. Says safe for tinted windows.

Best bet is to spray on a soft cloth rather than directly on the screen.
