I am actually looking at utilising an old galaxy or iPad (I have an iPad 2 that would be a good option to jailbreak) as the screen area is a lot bigger.

Did also look at a 'carpuride' option that sits above the dash:

Ultimately I want a system that is quickly demountable and doesn't interfere with the original look.
