SL550 screen upgrade? touch, android auto etc?

I have found a few websites that offer upgrades for the screen, some seem to replace what is in the dash, others have it pop out like it is a tablet sitting on the dash... but both styles have touch screen, android auto etc and they say all MB functionality is accessable through them.
Anyone try one of these?
Any good? bad?

Giving links but no idea if it is good or not...

This is a pretty ugly setup IMO. I remember another member installing this, which is essentially just an Android tablet on his AMG GTC. He thought it was OK but had issues with the rear camera engaging in reverse. He had to switch back to Comand first.
