Could you build this?
No Interfacing Android devices with proprietary in-car displays while mimicking Apple CarPlay or Android Auto requires low-level hardware protocol reverse engineering and specialized automotive projection stacks.
What it would actually take: Requires implementing the proprietary Apple CarPlay protocol (iAP2/AirPlay/RTSP streaming) and the Open Automotive Protocol (Android Auto) over Wi-Fi Direct and USB accessory protocols. The hard parts involve low-latency H.264 video encoding/decoding, Bluetooth audio routing, automotive input event handling, and bypassing OEM DRM restrictions. Requires deep Android NDK, automotive networking, and hardware protocol reverse-engineering skills.
