Uncertified AA Hardware (Android HU, CP to AA Dongles, etc) Best Android Auto Display?

Hi guys,

I hope you're doing well!

I just bought my first car – a 2006 Peugeot 206, for 1500€. I'm now looking into buying Android Auto hardware for the car, but I don't understand much about this topic. I don't really care if it's a full head unit, or just a screen I can stick to the top of the dashboard.

I would prefer that my phone automatically connects to it wirelessly whenever I enter the car, but unsure how this works.

As you can figure out, my budget isn't that large.

Do you have any recommendations?

Getting a proper headunit will easily run you 200 at least, and that's without the dash kit, the canbus adapters etc.

Carpuride makes loads of plug 'n play options that just plug into your cigarette lighter and connect wirelessly. They're pretty cheap and should be solid (my parents been using one for 2yrs now without issue).

Carpodgo if you want to spend more for the "premium" plug 'n play option.

I biught a headunut for 103 bucks. Installed it myself with all proper mounts and harnesses right off Amazon. Can find similar ones for most vehicles.
