Yeah I want to say it was a fairly new release for Kykr before I got it.
I also use the Kykr matte screen protector and it has been awesome

I’m cheap. I just have a microfiber towel in my door pocket and wipe my screen off every few days. Few swipes and looks like new again.
For me, it was more about the matte screen and less reflections than fingerprints. Makes it easier to see screen in more lighting situations

It's been addressed by others but it does a great job at reducing finger prints. You'll still get some fingerprinting but it's a lot less obvious, stays clean for a lot longer and easy to clean.

I’ve been using the cloth that came with my last truck (seen in post 236 in the console pic). Cheap and needs to be replaced but this is way more work than the prior truck to get it clean. That’s probably because this screen is very glossy. I’ll definitely go with a matte protector.
Thanks for the suggestions!
Fobik cover and lanyard. Many colors available.
Put on these pedal covers too. They look good. Tried to take a Pic of mine but floor is too dirty!

You don't feel much difference but they do feel good and look cool. Being a truck and sitting up higher you do notice them when you open the door.

Curious to see how long they last. Past buyers claimed the grip bars started pealing off after only a few months already.Put on these pedal covers too. They look good. Tried to take a Pic of mine but floor is too dirty!

I'm not sure they can peel off.
Maybe they took a hot iron to it.

Looked like the standard grip tape in other pics where they came loose. Wet shoes/boots will eventually loosen the adhesive. Maybe just rubber inserts too. Either way they don’t look real durable.
Pics from Amazon reviews…
Sounds like even the real ones on TRX’s are doing the same exact thing. I would expect to see the same eventually on GT’s.

Interesting.
The ones I had the rubber was under the metal plate so there was nothing to peel off.
I never liked mine as they were not grippy.
Oh how the wonderful market changes.

With a name like Nascar Tommy I would expect nothing less. Drive it like your at TalladegaI don't use my brake pedal.

I have my charger in place, been running it for awhile. I have an iPhone 12 with an otterbox case. Alot of times it would start charging and stop. Switched to a MagSafe case and it’s much better. If using Waze and pandora at the same time, it kind of just maintains the charge, not really increasing if. Also had to use command strips to mount it because it kept falling off when sitting in the hot sun. Thanks for the help!
I couldn’t bring myself to spend $40 on a screen protector. I got a different brand matte screen protector for $16 and it works just as well. Probably the exact same thing sold by a different vendor.
