Android Head Unit
Recently bought a 2010 V50. My Previous car, a Ford Mondeo had an Android head unit fitted which had a facia that integrated nicely in the existing facure of the dash.
Are there any similar units available for the V50? I've looked at a few on Amazon that say they "fit" the V50 though I suspect that they only "fit" with a lot of brute force and duck tape as they don't really look like the same shape as the existing system. Anyone managed to find something that fits tidily and isn't ridiculously expensive? Doesn't have to be android, though that would be my preference, but would ideally have a sat nav and blue tooth.

Or.. magnet mount an iPad or Android tablet on the dash and connect to AUX.

I got myself a cheap wireless Android auto display from AliExpress.
I thought it would be a piece of crap but actually, I'm very impressed, it's 10.26 inches, has dual bluetooth, so will connect automatically to my phone and the bluetooth to aux adapter I have in the armrest USB. I designed a simple 3D printed bracket that fits behind the center arm vents with the power cable and makes it all look pretty OEM

Can you provide more details for this, a link to the product perhaps? There's a lot of those on AliE and my experience with that marketplace is that it is more luck than anything if you receive what you ordered and it works as advertised.
