ok cool thanks
Ya it’s probably a switch.
Maybe a magnetic switch which will be hard to find. Good luck. I have to go to the dealer in two weeks to look at the transmission so maybe I can ask one of the mechanics maybe they might know.
if I find out I will let you know as well.

There are at least 3 possible enable / disable features you will need to look at:
1. Contacts, if the screen has to make contact with contact pins, you're not likely to be able to disable the turn-off feature
2. Mechanical switch, as you previously stated, disable the switch and you are good to go.
3. A reed-switch, witch you will need a small magnet to activate
Basically you'll need to remove your unit to explore what activates/ de-activates

I totally forgot that I posted this. I'm still looking for an answer if anybody came up with a solution. I would love to have my screen stay on in the open position.
