A vehicle touchscreen arrangement comprising a touchscreen (attached to part 112) and a mount 104 for attachment to a vehicle. A ball and socket joint connects the touchscreen to the mount 104, such that a position of the touchscreen can be manually adjusted relative to the mount 104. The ball and socket joint comprises a socket 108 comprising an internal sliding surface 120 and a ball 110 retained within the socket 108, the ball 110 comprising an external sliding surface complementary with the internal sliding surface. At least one abutment feature 130 (124, 126 fig. 12) prevents rotation of the touchscreen relative to the mount 104 about a first axis while allowing rotation about at least one other axis. The abutment feature(s) may include posts 130 which are frusto-conical in cross-section, engaging with complementary guide surfaces. There may also be stop features for limiting rotation about other axes, e.g. parts 168, 170, 172.
