A portable infotainment screen with built-in Android, a sharp HD display and plenty of flexibility makes this an attractive upgrade for older vehicles, although early software issues stop it being perfect.

If you're looking to modernise an older car without paying for a full infotainment replacement, the Lamtto 11-inch display makes a compelling case. It delivers wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, but goes much further thanks to its own built-in Android operating system. You can check the Lamtto 11-inch CarPlay Display while reading our verdict.

Unlike many dashboard displays, this premium model lets you install apps directly from Google Play, opening the door to a huge range of navigation, entertainment and driving tools. Combined with its crisp 11-inch HD screen and clever split-view layout, it offers a genuinely more flexible experience than many cheaper alternatives. You can also see the latest price if you're comparing upgrade options.

It's not flawless, though. During testing, a handful of software niggles appeared, including settings that occasionally failed to save and the odd hiccup launching Android Auto. The encouraging part is that regular over-the-air updates have already fixed several issues, suggesting Lamtto is actively improving the software. If you're considering a premium portable infotainment upgrade, it's worth checking the available buying options.

At around £170 on offer, it's considerably more expensive than basic portable CarPlay displays, but it also offers far more capability. For drivers who want a feature-packed upgrade without replacing their factory system, it stands out as an impressive solution despite a few early rough edges.
