Is this possible?

Don't need a system as such just a say 8" or so monitor that picks up and displays the satnav from the phone

What video outputs does the android phone offer?

If it's HDMI, then there are plenty of little 'raspberry pi' monitors on amazon/ebay - some with touchscreen.

I use a USB-powered 7" one as a 2nd screen on my PC to show gauges/system info.

For example, this 7" one for £59...


...or this 5" one for £40...


If you want something that's not got electronics showing, then the one I bought was the Elecrow 7" 1280x800 non-touch one for £80 - but there is a bit of electronic whine from it.
