^^^^ Wouldn't it be simpler to buy an Android Auto widget that plugs into a USB socket?

Don't think you will find anything on a 'budget'
Best would be to upgrade to the later MIB2 system - but that's not cheap.

I would just get a good magsafe phone mount. :)

I didnt say i am on a budget, but upgrading to mib 2 from my mib 1 is not that easy, as i have come to understand. I dont have the type of radio with cd player in the compartment in front of passenger, and you need this kind of rádio to upgrade to mib 2, IT seems.
 
I use an external Android auto screen (11"), because I have a somewhat onorthodox way of using my devices haha

- I dont stream audio, I use an iPod setup with all my favorite MP3s. This is connected via BT with the MB unit
- My navigation is on the external screen

Its not the most beautiful setup, but for me it works (y)

Still can be done, You would need the "seat-mib1entry-to-mib2std-additional-parts" as well as the mib2 upgrade kit.

 
Hi, i would like to ask you guys, IS IT possible to swap this oem radio


for something with Android auto? What product would you recommend? Could i actually replace IT at home myself?

Thanx
Yes its possible but need to extend wires etc and and get new gps module may need a new glovebox, unlocked mib unit and screen carplay cable and socket.

6.5 or 8 inch screen




Something like this for the wires and any gps module with the blue connector works.
