You could buy them on ebay, if you know someone that could program them for you job done.

Rooted many phones, XDA is a good place to start. Might do my Moto G5S Plus, but was waiting for android 8 update 1st.
Seriously its not that hard on most phones, sometimes its just a website (KingRoot)
Warning. If you root remember things like Google pay, bank apps etc, can stop working. So unless watching video and having a picture of your OH on your dash is important then give it a miss. If AA is working you already have maps, and rest of the stuff anyway. To be honest all the Navi 900 stuff seems to work flawlessly anyway for me, but car did just have a system software update, so maybe just me happy with itUsual Elite specification;Dancing lights, up/down windows, sliding seats, on board atlas, slippery seats, musical bumpers, storm detectors, tubeless radio, female knight rider communication system, all seeing windscreen, cherry air freshener, auto moaning passengers, learner driver, shiny door pins, rear boom box, Heko smoked window hats, rear window sunglasses, 10 million candle flame reversing lights, matching number plate lights, shiny pedals, front and rear all seeing eyes, fully integrated interrogation system, empty bank account .

I had an attempt at that hack with my car with no joy. I rooted an old phone that was sitting in a drawer for the last 2 years so nothing to lose. Not bothered about videos but like the android auto interface for things like having txts read out etc. Will just stick to the app on the phone in its windscreen holder I think.

This isn't just a hack, but more an app, but has somebody tried this?
Looking into this, but unfortunally my upgrade (hm2.0 to hm2.5) will take a couple of weeks so i can't test it out. I hate the slow charging of the default usb connection on my insignia and this would be an solution to bypass the slow charging.
