Did you ever find someone to make this for you?
If I were to add an iPad or similar to the 2003-2006 Tahoe Yukon, then I would move the HVAC controls down to the lower center console single din cubby, and mount the iPad or similar vertically, combining the height of the double din and former HVAC control space into one.
The idea here being, how often do you need to adjust the HVAC? And do you really need to see the HVAC when it is being adjusted? On the other hand, you really do need to be able to see the iPad screen, and it must be touchable all over, without big gulp cups in the cup holder getting in the way.

Hey Kinda some what off topic but not. I wanted to do the same thing but decided not to put a dedicated ipad in the car so I purchased this. http://www.customgadz.com/downloads/ Basically installed this to a 7 inch touch screen from ebay and now I can mirror my phone to it wirellesly and control my phone through the 7 inch touch screen in my car. Heres the company video of it in action

Tons of touch screen options. I have a carpc and put a 10" in my dash, it's a 2010 though but depending on what you want to put where you can do a lot.
Here's my dash.
I'm still working on the graphic user interface, but it's getting closer. Way more control than the stock GM unit.

That would be great, I looked into some parts and it doesnt seem that bad, but I may be missing something.
Just need that module, a screen with a touchscreen overlay and a power supply right?
For the most part
1 - Custom gadz module
2 - LCD screen
3 - enclousure
4 - Video output for phone
1 - So you need customgadz controller (which controls your phone through bluetooth) Let them know what screen you ended up getting before buying
2 -Screen you can actually use an after market 7 inch screen like a pioneer or kenwood double din the only catch you would have to open up the unit to connect the customgadz controller to the pioneer touch screen. or you go get something like this

Whats nice with that screen is it has a wire that you hook up to your reverse lights and it will switch the unit to video input 2 which can be your back up camera and then when you put the car back in drive it switches back to video input one which is your phone.
3- If you go ebay route depending on year of car if you have a 2002 and below its a little more trickier since its a din and 1/2 and not double din you will have to do some modification. If its a 2003 and above then you can get something like this http://www.mo-co-so.com/ByByte-Black-Box-N-Nano-ITX-Car-PC-Case-p/mcs-byb-bbn.htm
4- Depending on phone you will need to output the video from phone to car lcd. So you can get something like this

which works good on some phone but others have problems cause they wont charge as you use it. So i ended up getting this. http://www.amazon.com/NETGEAR-Push2TV-Wireless-Miracast-Certified/dp/B00904JILO
which is nice cause it allows me to wirelessly mirroe my phone and charge it too if needs be Also there are so many options that you would just have research what works best with your phone and price. I got that unit cause it seems to work with almost all andriods, and you can get that unit cheaper if you search.
Hope that help. Ill try to get video tonight to show the unit in action and then when i get time ill pull it out to show the internal workings.
