Could you build this?

Partial Building simple apps and their UI is vibe-codeable, but making them run on a modded BMW head unit requires knowledge of its proprietary app platform and install path.

What it would actually take: A real version needs the head unit's app framework, its SDK or runtime, and the packaging format the MGU Store expects. Reverse engineering the platform and automotive HMI constraints (driver-distraction rules, screen sizes) is needed, which requires embedded or automotive-platform expertise.
