Could you build this?

No Creating a CarPlay receiver requires reverse-engineering proprietary Apple CarPlay authentication, Wi-Fi Direct protocols, and low-latency H.264/HEVC hardware video decoding on Android head units.

What it would actually take: Requires deep reverse-engineering of Apple's proprietary iAP2/CarPlay accessory protocol, handling MFi authentication bypasses or leaked certificates, and implementing low-level Wi-Fi Direct and Bluetooth pairing daemons on Android. Low-latency MediaCodec video decoding and audio multiplexing over USB/Wi-Fi pipelines are necessary, needing specialized embedded Android and automotive protocol engineering skills.
