Touchscreen Replacement for OEM Head Unit Digitiser

[Salty Spuds]

Looks great!

Could you share a link to the digitizer you purchased? The one I've fitted from eBay (this link) is definitely dimmer, has a metallic sheen and arrived with scratches. The seller has refunded me, but now I need to find a better one.

Cheers.

Are you sure it wasn’t the protective plastic film that gave the appearance of dim & scratched? There’s a film on both sides, a couple of other folks have been caught out before by it.

Yes, this was my issue.

Question for those that have swapped their digitisers … is the digitiser different on the composition media to the discover media units?

I have composition media and am trying to work out which is the correct replacement digitiser.

Thanks.

I know there is a post somewhere guiding you through the DIY repair of a touchscreen by adding an overlay. However this one provides a screw by screw guide with no missing bits to cause confusion. Literally just finished mine and it was a breeze.

I just replaced mine, following the video, which is brilliant. I wouldn't claim to be familiar with working on electronics but it was very straight forwards - I don't think I've used a Torx 6 screwdriver before! :-0

This is the replacement screen (digitiser) I went for. I saw some references to tinted digitisers, which make the screen dark but this one is crystal clear and the screen appearance is unchanged.

Pardon our interruption...

I can now enter a postcode into the sat nav for the first time in 3 years. The whole job took about an hour, maybe slightly more. I'd removed the head unit previously, so I was familiar with that aspect and that part went quickly. Happy Days.

Yes they are the same, I actually took a screen from a comp media and fitted it to my disco media a few years back
