I'm toying with the idea of a touchscreen that can do DAB and also display outputs from my OBDII scanner via bluetooth, in lieu of a set of dials and gauges.

Obviously I could spend £££ on a top end unit, but as I don't want the stereo to cost more than the car ( The Blue stter ), can anyone recommend from experience one of the ebay specials that float about for £200 or so? Or even give me some insight into them?

ETA - this for example: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/7-Single-DIN-DAB-Radio-...

Thanks in advance.

Interesting - I feel like it's a worthy experiment, but it's still not small change to chuck away. I'm more tempted by something from a known company, but that extra £100 or so probably pushes it out of budget. That's a set of tyres!

Any other thoughts on the cheapo ebay specials?

Fair play - took me a minute to realise what that was in! Cracking effort.

As it happens, then new vehicle has a dodgy double din unit, so I'll be enjoying experimentation anyway.

The reason I looked for a single DIN was because the vehicle I had in mind ultimately can only have single din, but won't take an OBD adaptor so it's moot. The answer, for me anyway, is a Stack road-legal dash like you got in Caterham's of a certain age.
