I'm hoping eventually this guy makes a faceplate for tablets and then its pretty much a done deal for me..

I can just imagine Apple fans trying to use a 3.5-4" touch screen radio while driving. Oh lord. Couple that with Apple Maps....

Neat idea though.
I am working on an idea for a Kickstarter project that is similar in nature to this, but works a bit differently. I am in need of someone that can write android apps. I already have a developer that is interested, for building a custom rom.
Depending on the way this is all implemented, someone that can work in XML and someone that can code for Python, might be good as well.

The idea you have listed above is cool, but its just about as short sighted as any of the other Android Headunits. There is just no way to make this work with any android phone. The head unit would need to be a custom build or custom connection plate per device. Upgrade your phone and all of a sudden your headunit is worthless until the OEM makes a custom connection plate for our device.

My idea gets around that issue and is vastly cheaper than buying a new phone or new head unit.
