I've come to accept that swapping the head unit out on the Acenta is too much work
But I really don't want another screen in the car (by that I mean I'm not a fan of having to look at 4 screens while driving - stereo, dash, HUD, phone!)
So I'm wanting to keep it at 3 by doing this:
Mount a tablet in front of the head unit to cover the ugly ass blue screen of uselessness
But I want it to be easy-move for the following uses:
1 - to tap that annoying start up message every time the car starts (because I have a smart charger that links to the TCU so I need this functionality)
2 - to view the reversing camera
3 - to view climate control temps as my wife changes it to seemingly random temperatures each time 😂
So I'm thinking something that's safe to just flip/slide/switch/flap while driving
For example, fold down like a glove box (fold up would probably not work I don't think), or slide up or down like a zs EV charge flap
Don't want to have to take the whole unit off just to view the reversing camera, and trying to make it look as clean as possible
I'm pretty techy with software so I'm confident with converting a tablet, it's the physical logistics I'm not so creative with
Hopefully this thread will give others ideas too
Thanks
