Default Android Auto unit with floating screen for S2000?

Does anyone know of an Android Auto car stereo which has a floating/wireless display which could be used in an S2000? (in the UK).

Pioneer has a couple options.

DMH-C5500NEX
DMH-WC6600NEX

I've been toying with getting one to have CarPlay. Not sure where to get in the UK, but Pioneer should be available easy enough.

Thanks for the suggestion. I've just had a look around and don't see either model available anywhere in the UK :0(

EDIT: It looks as if Pioneer have something similar in the UK - Pioneer SPH-EVO82DAB. Although I'm not sure it can be adapted to fit in the S2000
???

SPH-EVO82DAB doesn't have the floating face, it has to be connected/mounted to the face of the radio which will make installation tricky. I know fm radio tuners are different, but if you aren't wanting to use the tuner it shouldn't matter. Crutchfield is a big outfit here in the US, perhaps they'll ship to the UK, might be worth a shot.

I'll see if there's anything on the UK site similar to the US models, seems silly they wouldn't offer similar models in the UK/EU

Halfords has Pioneer - https://www.halfords.com/technology/...prefv1=Pioneer

Still not sure which model, the pics online aren't great

This says it's modular so the monitor can be mounted separate - https://www.halfords.com/technology/...MjY2NS4wLjAuMA..

Yeah I've seen those models but the display isn't separate from the head unit as such - it's connected to the head unit and just pulls out a little. Not far enough to fit in the S2000 dash unfortunately.

I used a spare smartphone (Nokia 5.4) and bought a back cover for it, which I stuck to the radio door with strong double adhesive tape. Then I can slot in the phone when I need navigation.

This one is modular, screen is separate - https://www.pioneer-car.eu/eur/products/sph-evo93dab

SPH-EVO93DAB don't see it on Halfords site though

Interesting. Looks like it doesn't offer radio controls, though. One of the reasons for replacing my stereo is that it's very fiddly to select radio stations. No numbered buttons - you have to press a button to open the menu, then turn the knob to select a station from the menu. Bizzarre (and not very friendly) design!
