Digital display for Victron 500A smart shunt

Hi all. A similar question has been asked before but didn’t really answer the question:

Is there an economical Victron product (<$100 or thereabouts) that allows a digital display for a pre-installed 500A Victron smart shunt? I have purchased a van that has the smart shunt already installed but I am wondering if there is a Victron solution for a digital display as well?

I’ve read that others have used an old phone mounted on the wall and plugged into a spare USB port for power, but this seems a bit messy.

I know I can replace it with a BMV product or similar but hoping to avoid that.

Thanks in advance.

Maybe. If you have the time to learn and set up a simple rPI2 for VenusOS, a cheap #ss android tablet in kiosk mode with GUIv2 and add an isolated usb-r232 dongle to hook up the Smartshunt (Ve.direct) you could meet your <$100 requirement.
