Just a random thought, but seeing how sophisticated the iPad is relative to the OEM headunit and climate control, might it be possible to design apps that would provide these functionalities for a Porsche?

There'd probably need to be some extensive hardwiring and custom dock interface, but these could be hid behind the iPad Mini so that only a single double DIN would be needed. Then a GT3 lower center console delete could be used with just an iPad up top.

Thoughts?
