I'm not talking about touching your phone. I said stream to a capacitive touch screen. It would be easy in software to translate those coordinates to the phone's native coordinate system and thus detect which button you were pressing, etc. Then develop apps that are "car apps" that display nicely on the big touch screen and all you have to ever worry about from then on is updating the phone and phone apps. In other words, why isn't the in-dash unit just a remote control for the actual phone? It could be done.
