Looking for device recommendations which ideally meet as many of the below criteria as possible:

Wishlist:

Android auto
Able to mount on windscreen without removing any dashboard guff (probably via suction cup or similar)
Decent quality dashcam
7" or greater screen
Bluetooth relay or FM transmitter to put audio onto car stereo without wires
Option for android auto from the phone via either bluetooth or wired with USB
Waze works well
Non-laggy responsiveness to touches/swipes etc

Ideally would like some kind of decent brand name but accept I might end up with some brand X kit.

These aren't tablet format screens but designed to be low profile and wide generally so I think they're ok, akin to mounting a phone but probably less obstructive.

Just bought one and it works well. My only criticism is the mounts are a bit flimsy and a wide relatively heavy unit can move about a bit . I a working on making a custom housing for it to have it nailed on to the dash better. But works really well, very impressed (mine a w903)
Ah interesting. Can I ask re the mounting, I plan to use the suction cup from the windscreen and have the device itself attached to the arm but resting on the top of the dashboard, is it possible to mount like this with your kit? Does the device work oriented that way? Is there a lot of play in the arm/suction cup or is it broadly stable?

On the device itself speed of responsiveness? All apps work? Are you broadcasting FM or bluetooth relaying to car audio? How is the quality?

Just found an old video you may find useful so I've uploaded it to YT.

Thanks for that Jim. Hadn't seen Atoto before. I like that it can show the car brand logo on startup!
