As for the head unit functionality, I pretty much only listen to streaming audio via my iPhone and AUX input adapter on the CDR-220. Since there are streaming radio apps as well, I could imagine effectively deleting the head unit all together so long as iPad interfaced into the amp correctly.
You clearly know more than I do about the technical aspects of this idea. It simply occurred to me as a next possible phase to iPad (or tablet in general) integration. The computing power within these tablets far exceeds anything in the cars electronic controls, it seems like it should be possible to leverage it. Just some random thoughts.

I mean, the second route is definitely possible, interfacing with a micro wouldn't be terribly difficult. The bottleneck will be connecting to the micro. I'm not sure if ios7 allows for background bluetooth connectivity or if you will have to reconnect every time you open the app. Besides that, everything else is straight forward: wire everything, program a micro, create an app. DIYs will be everywhere to do this.
