The Carpuride W103 is one of the best in-car displays on the market, says consumer technology writer Gareth Butterfield - and there’s currently a huge saving on Amazon.

If you buy a new car, you'll expect it to have a modern infotainment system. The vast majority now feature connectivity for Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, because drivers usually prefer running a familiar operating system through their smartphones.

Perhaps it was my car being fussy, but it took plenty of attempts to get the two devices talking to one another, and the instructions offered little help. But once it was finally up and running, it has connected quickly and reliably every time I've started the car. Within about 20 seconds I've got an Android Auto screen on the Capuride device, and my YouTube Music tracks playing through the car's speaker system.
