Could you build this?

No Reverse-engineering and injecting Apple CarPlay onto Audi's proprietary MHI2Q automotive infotainment platform requires deep reverse engineering of automotive firmware, QNX/embedded OS knowledge, and hardware protocol expertise.

What it would actually take: This project modifies Audi's MIB2/MHI2Q infotainment system (running QNX Neutrino RTOS on automotive-grade hardware like Nvidia Tegra) to redirect the CarPlay video and control feed to the digital instrument cluster. It requires dumping firmware, patching proprietary QNX binaries/shared objects via IDA Pro/Ghidra, bypassing checksum validations, and understanding automotive CAN bus and MOST network signaling. Success requires specialized embedded reverse-engineering skills, automotive safety protocol knowledge, and direct physical bench-testing hardware.
