MEKEDE 12.5" Android unit for SLK R172, anyone else interested

Dear all,
I am willing to fit a 12.5" Android Screen Unit on the R172, although the actual mount bracket aligns the screen to the cockpit vents, therefore the 9" fits, while the 10" slightly covers the vents.
The newer units with higher specs and better screens are transitioning to 12.5" and if a specific mount bracket may be produced for the R172, which can lift the screen above the vents, the newer units may be fitted, exploiting the benefits of larger higher resolution screens.
Anybody is interested so we can raise a query to MEKEDE to build a custom R172 mount for this larger screen units?
The MB screeb Units share the same build specs but different brackets/chassis mounts, but no 12.5" is made for the R172, possibly due to lesser requests for our car model. They have 3D printers so to cast a new bracket is fairly easy for them if some requests come in.
Otherwise anybody in the forum may engage in 3D printing so we can fit the 12.5" units?
This is their page on AliExpress

This is a 10" unit, a 12.5" would cover the vents more than this one, so a custom R172 bracket to raise it a bit may help.

I've seen something on here about being careful not to cover the heater vents (this unit does).
Partly for cabin control, but also because that heat will add to the units heat I believe.
