Could you build this?
No It modifies vehicle head units through an OEM API (HMG-API) and needs hardware access, firmware knowledge, and vehicle-specific integration. A solo vibe-coder cannot test or ship this safely without that hardware and expertise.
What it would actually take: A real version requires access to Gen5W head-unit hardware and firmware, and reverse-engineering the OEM's APIs and system services. It also needs automotive safety and integration expertise plus physical test vehicles.
