Headunit screen sun-visor

[Vogon42]

Hi all. Can anyone recommend a sun visor for the radio/sat nav in a T6 please. Mine is a Kenwood 5190.
TIA

You could ask @Iany1954 how he’s getting on with his visor -

What Have You Done To Your Van Today?

Fitted bumper protector and did a wash! Not in that order! Which protector is that?

or have a look at this homegrown version -

Wanted - 3D Printed HU screen visor wanted

On a previous post I asked whether it was possible for a next project if someone would be interested in designing / printing a sun visor for the Infotainment system. I have now found a link to a 3D design for the T6 and wonder if anyone - @Jono perhaps - would be interested in printing one of...

Did you have any luck with this? I need one for my Pioneer head unit, very hard to see in direct sunlight!!

That's the one, but they're all too big for a T6 (other than the small that they no longer have)

Perhaps put a request out for someone to 3D print one for you. I imagine they'd go down quite well with the community. .

Found this one being sold by dubstyling. This is the medium (22cm), seems to fit well enough. Typically the sun has disappeared now so yet to see how effective it will be or how long it will stay in position as it's only held on with tape in the corners!

Did this ever work?

Yep and still going strong. It's not perfect and a little flimsy, but def makes it easier to see in direct sunlight.

I made a little sunshade for my Kenwood DMX8020DABS. It's the Mk2 version made up from opaque black plastic which I cut from clip binder costing £2.99 in The Range (the previous one wasn't completely opaque and still let through a little bit of light which caused a reflection (but still worked better than nothing). It's a very simple solution which simply slides into the small gap between the bezel and the dash. If anyone's interested, I can post a template with dimensions.View attachment 205736View attachment 205738

@Ayjay - I would be interested in the template and dimensions.

@BoroBoy This is the drawing (of sorts!) that I posted back in July - hope it helps

Simon. Here you go - I'm not sure if it makes any difference but these measurements are based on a sunshade for a Kenwood 8020 which replaced an OEM Composition Colour in a 2018 Highline. Sorry about the sub-schoolboy technical drawing skills!
