Could you build this?

Partial Porting CarPlay/Android Auto projection software to legacy Android 4.3 automotive head units requires backporting modern Android APIs and dealing with proprietary in-vehicle hardware quirks.

What it would actually take: The project requires an Android app backporting USB accessory and video decoding protocols to Android 4.3 (API 18) without modern MediaCodec features. The hard parts are dealing with automotive vendor-specific hardware limitations, audio focus routing on legacy automotive IVI firmware, and debugging real-vehicle CAN-bus/USB head-unit hardware without vendor documentation.
