I mean, you could, but you'd end up covering CD slot, your vents, and/or the inbuilt screen. and it would sit very proud of everything else on the dash
Also printing the shroud is difficult, clips are hard
This was my previous solution, it was not ideal

If it's running google maps and other googley things then i would expect it to be android OS with an overlay which itself is based off linux.
I guess to see is to find out if you can activate devleoper options in the menu settings. Usually it's activated with the following steps if you can try.
1 Go to "Settings"
2 Tap "About device" or "About phone"
3 Tap “Software information”
4 Tap “Build number” seven times. ...
Root access will be difficult but if you can get to dev options then it's easier to sideload.
As for your previous solution, that's the idea I had except making the holder so it only covers the CD slot (is it really needed now a days).
