I have an 05 DB9 and as you know the screen and GPS system isn't great.

Basically I just just my mobile as a sat nav and I have a Bluetooth iPod unit for sound etc.

My question is.

Has anyone just bought an android auto 7" screen let's say, removed the original screen and then 3d printed a casing for the new screen and fitted in it's place whilst retaining the screen rotation function?

I'm not bothered about integration to the cars system as I could just mirror my phone screen for maps etc. so would only need power to the new screen but it's whether the old screen is intrinsically linked into the rotating operation and if it throws a error up if the original screen isn't attached to the loom.

Any thoughts or experience welcome.

Thanks

I have thought about doing something like this but I just don’t want to have the screen up. Spoils the look of the dash

Less offensive than having a phone stuck on it though...
