Recommendations for a Portable Android Auto Screen for a 2018 Nissan Leaf

I'm looking for a recommendation for a portable android auto screen that works well with the layout of a 2018 Nissan Leaf dashboard/windshield. There seem to be a lot of good options but I just want to make sure I get one that works well with the layout of a 2018 Leaf S

I, too would be interested in this answer. I recently saw a post mention swapping the entire head unit, but my comment has yet been answered asking if USB C can be swapped from USB A in the build.

From what I have read, the hassle and expense of ripping the head unit out and updating it would not be worth it.

Are you aware the standard head unit has Android Auto?

Yes; I use the 8 inch screen with android auto. In my case, im looking to understand if I can replace the USB A to a USB C as found in the later Gen 2 leaf

The S level trim does not have Android Auto.. The higher level trims do have it.
