Roadster 2.5 double DIN radio options

Does anyone have a good option for replacement on the original radio? I would like something that you can display your speed on as it’s hard to see the speedometer if you’re taller. Thanks.

You may want to check out this thread. While I don't recall mine doing speed, it was a good setup. I've since parted with the car to @Retiredeh, so don't know how the stereo install is holding up. Alpine ILX-207. I also considered the Alpine ILX-650, which also fits. Instead of the Alpine amp, I had a bit higher-powered amp put in, the Rockford Fosgate Power T1000X5ad recommended by @CM_007's son Randy.

I'm really enjoying this setup...great sound and integrates well with Android auto to my phone! Great job and good pick by Islandroadster!!

If the in-dash unit is otherwise working for you (radio, media player, navigation, etc.), another option for speed is to get an OVMS v3 and an OBD-II HUD (Head-up display). The v3 includes a process that can create a virtual OBD-II port, feeding it from the Roadster's real-time metrics.
