before i get shot down in flames for aftermarket chav wannabee BMW M5 equipment, let me explain...

i'm 6'7". my seat/dash position makes seeing the top of my speedo clash with my steering wheel.
i've just come out of a nearly new Skoda Superb which was nice (the only part about it) with the centre dash digital speedo - so got used to reading that. my current Audi C6 (2006 model) doesn't allow it, and i've not been able to code it with Vagcom. Apparantly pre-2007 models don't have this available.

i've previously used Road Angel on previous vehicles (original and compact) sat of the dash to give a quick reading of the current speed before the skoda, but was hoping there might be something more modern now..

i've just tried this
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01LJCA1B0/ref...
but its rubbish...as in daylight its very difficult to read. in darkness its clear, but any daylight, especially with sunglasses on makes it too faint to read.

does anyone have any other current suggestions for sub £100? or should i go back to the Road Angel compact as that gave a clear reading and didn't obscure the glass.

Can't it be used with the display pointing towards you instead of reflecting?
