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.
