Tata Sierra Like Screen Now On Any Car » MotorOctane

As time goes on, your phones get smarter, so do your cars. Earlier, large screens were limited to premium vehicles, but the MG Hector changed that with its 10.4-inch vertical infotainment system. After this, car manufacturers in India began offering advanced infotainment systems. With each launch, features kept on adding, and in no time, having an infotainment system with a touchscreen and connected auto tech became the benchmark. In 2021, the Mahindra XUV700 introduced the connected dual-screen setup, which became another benchmark for SUVs in India. Moving one step ahead, Mahindra introduced a triple-screen layout to the Indian SUV market with the XEV 9e. The same is evident in the latest Tata Sierra.

Triple-screen goes trending:

The Tata Sierra features a triple-screen layout that has recently caught a lot of attention. And the Indian aftermarket was not going to miss out on this growing trend. Indian aftermarket manufacturers and dealers have introduced a dual-screen infotainment system. If your car already has one screen, it will convert it into a triple-screen setup, and even if your vehicle doesn’t have any screen at all, this accessory will convert it into a dual-screen layout. This accessory can cost 15,000 to 25,000 rupees, depending on the vehicle it needs to be installed in and the features you get with it.

Dual-screen upgrades to older cars:

Now you can enjoy this without buying a whole new car; this addition can be done for just 20-25 thousand rupees. Various dealers are offering an Android dual-screen setup in India. This aftermarket infotainment system is not limited to your reverse parking camera; it also supports a 360-degree camera. It can function as a streaming device supporting the applications YouTube and Netflix. Also capable of performing basic functions such as navigation and music control.

In the past, aftermarket infotainment screens added basic features like reverse parking cameras and a single-screen navigation system to help you play your favourite music. But in modern times, manufacturers’ infotainment systems feature a dual- or triple-screen layout. Both dual and triple screen layouts have the instrument cluster screen come first, followed by the second screen, which functions as the core infotainment screen and displays navigation, entertainment controls (music), and additional notifications from your connected device. The latest technology in the Indian automotive industry is the third screen, located on the co-passenger side of the dashboard. The co-passenger can access this screen to control music, play games, and even stream their favourite show on the go.

Is this upgrade worth it??

There are two significant concerns with this modification. As there is no privacy filter on the co-passenger screen, this may distract the driver. Another problem with this aftermarket screen is that the structure holding it is getting in the way of the Airbag deployment, which can lead to the airbag malfunctioning in the worst situation. After seeing all the features and hearing our concerns, do you want to have this accessory in your car?
