Could you build this?

Partial The patch definitions and their Morphe/ReVanced-style packaging can be vibe-coded, but making apps appear on the Android Auto car screen requires understanding the Android Auto app template restrictions and bytecode-level patching. That part is hard to get right.

What it would actually take: The stack is Kotlin patch scripts run through a patching framework that modifies APK bytecode, with manifest changes to declare car-app capabilities. The hard part is working out how Android Auto checks app categories and templates, which requires reverse engineering of the Car App Library behavior and APK analysis tooling such as smali editing.
