Dashboard monitors with USB and SD

Dashboard monitors add media playback, phone functions and parking- or recording-camera images to older and commercial vehicles. The range spans approximately 5 to 11.26 inches, from straightforward LCD models with USB, microSD, FM and AV inputs to touchscreens with wireless and wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Selected units also provide Android, GPS, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, phone mirroring, a front DVR camera or an input for a rear AHD camera. Compare screen size and resolution, mounting method, 12 V or 12–24 V supply, supported media, phone compatibility and camera-input format. The monitor must not obstruct the driver’s view, controls or airbags; position it for safe operation. For motorcycles, choose only a unit with suitable ingress protection and an appropriate mount.
