4. Where do the materials come from?

 A complete materials declaration can be provided upon request.

5. Does the Consenz unit fit in any car?

 The Consenz unit fits in most cars. Some important considerations to control before purchasing, however, are the space between the dashboard and the windshield, the windshield tilt angle, and the shape of the dashboard right in front of the driver.

  It is crucial that the device is placed centrally in front of the driver, since the viewing angle of the projection is made to be in focus for the driver.

 The transparent combiner screen should be open straight, close to 90°. 

You can see the Consenz unit dimensions below.

6. Will I get free support and upgrades?

 You will regularly receive free upgrades of your Consenz product solution platform, including the Consenz Unit, the Consenz Mobile App, and free features from selected partner services enabled on your Consenz device.

9. Can I take it out of the car?
