Could you build this?
No Emulating a CarPlay receiver requires reverse-engineering Apple's proprietary iAP2/CarPlay protocol, handling MFi authentication/dongle protocols, and low-latency H.264 video decoding over USB/Wi-Fi.
What it would actually take: Requires C/Objective-C/Swift interfacing with macOS IOKit and network sockets to implement the proprietary CarPlay head-unit protocol (AirPlay video streaming, Bonjour discovery, iAP2 control channels, and MFi handshake). Engineers must either integrate reverse-engineered open-source Dongle protocols (like Carlinkit's protocol) or write protocol decoders from scratch, alongside hardware-accelerated VideoToolbox decoding and virtual audio drivers.
