It does not affect NCD but you still need to declare as claim for the following years, insurers does not say it openly but I strongly suspect it does raise premiums, why else would they be asking to declare. If it's expensive screen it's worth doing on insurance even if premium increase a bit. I had it done for Tesla as it would have been £1k. But for some older/ more common cars you can get aftermarket screen supplied and fitted by independent fitters for £140 or pay £85-100 excess to insurance company and likely also to get increase in insurance premium.
