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.
You can probably find people to code for you on sites like guru.com or freelancer.com. Just post the basics of what you are looking for and people bid on projects. You get to review their history and feedback as well.

You can also get funds for it on sites like kickstarter.com that lets you crowd source funds for projects that people are interested in. Check some of them out, I see some dumb ideas getting tons of money. I would donate to the cause.
