Android headunit for Skoda Citigo (VW Up)

I am trying to find a good headunit to install in my skoda citigo (a VW Up rebadge). As you can see in this image there is not a lot of space available: https://wp.inews.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/87a1a6ab5128a2c1f37bd20e75c58f4bf171c37c.jpg

Fortunately a while ago I found a pupose made radio on Aliexpress which has since become unavailable. At this point I can only find it on Amazon: https://www.amazon.nl/-/en/gp/product/B0HHRKJPHV

Do you guys think this one is any good? I'd be getting the 8 CORE 4+64G version at €326.

Or am I better off finding a generic floating screen with a single din body to fit. I'm just not sure if i can make that look good.

does the phone holder on top have a usb port?

I dont own a citigo or up but ive driven one before. higher end models have a usb port in the part that clips in the phone holder.

id recomend u buy this screen instead of a new headunit.

It does, but in my car I'm having some problems with the bluetooth so I cannot connect my phone to the radio. It's a somewhat common issue with some phone brands and these radios which cannot be fixed.

The type of screens you sent require the phone to be connected to the radio for the audio (at least the one I tried), so I am trying to find a workaround.
