And my plain 2010 D4 2.7 is very interested too, so please keep us informed of progress[bigsmile1]

- only the 2010-2011 models
- you will still have a panel full of redundant buttons
- the mounting of the screen in a D3 is different to a D4
- the frame around the screen on a D3 is a different shape to a D4

so it may not be an exact fit, may need some modification, or you have to accept that it doesn't fit 100% right

but making it "work" yes it would work.

At this stage nothing can be done to control the clock on the instrument cluster either as far as I'm aware. And that would drive me insane!

But i want it to record 2020 not 2009 [bigsmile]

Well actually... if you relocate the original screen to the glovebox, and put this Android screen in it's place, with the audio routed via the AUX input, then the rest of the factory audio system is still functional and you would be able to change the clock and the date.

Looks great! What Android kit was it that allowed all that?

Well it wouldn't matter what screen you put in, it's not actually interfaced with the factory radio, the audio out is just an AUX.

If all you are doing is relocating the factory screen, then nothing is really changed in that sense.

I just wish someone would develop an interface that gave the correct signals / controls to enable a small screen with the Clock setting functionality.
Then any other System could go into the main dash.

has anyone fitted one of these?
