Could you build this?

No CarPlay's wireless and wired connection depends on Apple's proprietary, certificate-authenticated protocols. Vibe coding cannot produce a working implementation without reverse-engineering that protocol.

What it would actually take: A real version requires reverse engineering Apple's iAP2 and CarPlay session protocols, handling the authentication and certificate exchange, and then implementing video and touch streaming to a Linux head unit. This is a specialized, legally sensitive effort that existing open-source projects have struggled to complete.
