This is exactly what I don't want - a bright display that doesn't dim at night which I find quite distracting when driving on unlit country roads. I want to concentrate on the road not the interior of the car
I'm all for touch screens, I just wish they'd make one with a single good quality physical volume dial, and everything else can be controlled from the screen. No garish logos, plain black fascia etc, and a simple functional touch screen interface.
I'm surprised there aren't more android based head units on the market. They do exist but on the whole the reviews are not great.
Sounds like you need to go Kenwood, you can turn the screen off and keep the radio/mp3/iGay etc playing, no annoying beep, plain black and a volume dial. I'll try and dig out a picture of mine.
Edit: best I could find, I've got the colours set to green, but you can pick any you like.
