Operate touch screen from back

[boones]

Anyone have a decent solution for operating the touch screen from the back of the car? The use case is the rear seats are folded and a mattress is installed. Laying down and watching media from the back. Its quite a stretch to reach from the back to the touch screen to control netflix or similar. The volume can be controlled with the phone app, but not the media on the screen. I was thinking of a long collapsible pointer might work. Not sure what would be compatible with the touch screen.

Look up a telescoping teacher's pointer which many are touch screen compatible. Lots on AliExpress or Amazon.

Thanks for the feedback. I had been looking on amazon for collapsible pointers but couldn't find any that were explicitly touch screen compatible. Have you used one that you can recommend?

Edit. This one has reviews that says it works with an ipad screen. Will give this a try if no other confirmed products:

We know what you're really doing in the back seat

I received the amazon linked one above. Works great. A bit hard to accurately hit the screen from 3 feet away, but good enough for pausing or changing media from the back while the car is parked.
