.. and it was sluggish, touch screen needed well prodding and I lost all the Cadillac driver stuff to setup the dashboard et
This would have been a resistive screen - the screen presses onto another layer to transmit the instruction. Hence, losing the original functionality.
uses a clear screen on top of it to display the car play functionality.
Whereas, the screen used here is capacitive. The same type used in most phones, tablets, etc. now. The screen is merely an overlay and won't have capability to display as suggested above. You need a digitiser for that.
Reading the presentation carefully they reference the output quality being limited to that of the factory screen. I don't know if the factory unit has a video-in option but whatever base android system they are using it has been connected to the original screen.
A rather simple yet elegant idea. It might be worth asking the vendor if they will supply their software with the ability to load other apps too.
