Default aftermarket idea - display shade
My Info display - like yours - is impossible to see in about 30% of normal daytime driving because of glare. Noticed that BMW has the display lower and recessed; with no glare problems.

If someone would make a cowling (a hood or shade) that cuts off some of the problem I would buy in a second.

Requirements: Nice material, easy to install, looks like or close to OEM, flared sides so passenger can still see the display.

Your link doesn't bring up any items on my browser (probably the combination of Linux and Firefox). Is the seller this person:
