If I were to do it all over again (which I just bought a 1970 caprice) I will buy a 10" android tablet.
Saw a decent one on ebay for $200:
plays videos, music, has wifi, GPS, skype
Just have to wire the headphone output to you car amp

the headphone output has too much distortion. you'd want a USB sound card (external) that can do 24bit. or grab a digital out and convert it to fiber optic for input to modern processors.

i wouldn't use the D/A converter in any tablet or device if I can help it.

I was afraid the audio might be ****... have u tried it with one of those cheap Chinese tablets?
I use my android phone (nexus one) and its got good audio through headphone Jack and through the Bluetooth which I use quite often
