car computer- feasibility, functions

In the meantime.. thinking
Does anyone know how to set acpi in Linux to take input of power button to start the machine on press, and close the machine on second press, but with 2 hour delay? Presses would be dictated by cars Central locking..
So.. unlock the car, machine starts.. lock the car, and machine turns off the screen immediately, and switches itself off two hours later..

gotten android head unit fitted (trough original amplifier)
working on HUD next.
at the moment, biggest issue is.. waiting for parts

like these pesky 3.5 inch hdmi displays or frensel lenses

there is a light at the end of the tunnel.. there is a light

funnily enough.. this android head unit has this built in. goes to sleep as soon as ignition is off (need to do something about it, parts i already have, so only matter of finding some time) and turns itself completely off after three days of no use (protecting car battery)
ehh.. life
