14" screen heat shield cover - my DIY

[theo]

Sometimes i leave my phone in any vehicle on a hot day. On the screen there a message displaying over heated. Heat built up is the number one failure of electronic equipment. My 4Runner screen is very hot on these day. Is there a build in fan keeping the screen cool .Any company make a device to keep your screen cool. I made one from a laptop case in the pictures.

How about just using a sun visor to keep the entire dash area much cooler?

Get a quality ceramic tint! They make clear ones for those who don't want to "tint" their windshield but still want that UV/IR protection

Pretty rare for an infotainment screen to fail because of heat, they are engineered for that. It seems like going to all the trouble to cover the screen why not just use a sunscreen in the window, that will also protect your dash. I have window tinting on my Trail Hunter and that helps immensely cool the vehicle in the hot Texas sun. The infotainment center is of much higher quality than iPhone screens and devices.
