I agree 100%. The least dangerous place to have a screen is higher up on the dash. Its the most ergonomic and keeps your vision closer to the road. Someone should develop an android based universal HUD to help with this issue for GPS.

Honestly, it's not just the dash cutting. These joying units have a digital output and from most accounts the sound quality on the CIC/NBT android units is quite poor as it uses the aux connection on the head unit. I have heard of work arounds using a DAC but I am not too inclined to cut the dash and the costs on the avin type units are usually a fair bit higher. Then you need carplay dongles etc.
