   I keep waiting for someone to hack the console for my car so I can customize   
   it.  Basically the same thing you can do to smart phones.   
      
   The only issue would be I have no cell service native to my car, but if it   
   could tether with my cell phone, that would be great!   
      
   Then you could run Waze on the car's system which would be tethered from your   
   cell phone.
