There has to be a few android based tablet/carpc interfaces that could be modified for this project's needs. This really isn't all that different than a custom android tablet molded into the dash.
As much as I wish I could agree with you on this I can't, at least not 100%. You are correct in saying it could be done with any android interface, but the similarities tend to end with audio/video controls in my opinion.

One of the major problems with using any other application out now through my research. None of them have any kind of climate controls built into them. And that is one of the largest reasons for this particular build is to integrate them into the system. The screen was chosen to maximize the space available. And in doing so is large enough to interfere with current access to the nobs.

Making two models one with existing controls and one without is far more work than it is worth. In the end there will need to be some software development done before this project can be complete. And I am very open to suggestions, right now I am leaning toward Android Auto since it is freely available and can be modified to work well for this build. But there will still need to be some programming done to support a larger than double DIN screen and also the climate controls.

As far as the design, hardware components, and building I have that fully under control. It is the software development that I will take any help I can get!!
