There are alot of these chinese made android based media centers. So far I have heard that they are quite laggy and dont last very long. So I would steer clear from them. Look at some branded ones. I think Pioneer and JVC make something similar , It will cost a fair bit though.

The sony xav701hd is what I'm using in my sedan.

It has everything you listed plus more. I enjoy the heck out of it.

I doubt that this will work.
The toyota stereos use AVC-LAN, so you would need at least an arduino, a RS485 transceiver and some google magic to activate an aux in.

Sadly, up to this date, I have never seen a cheap chinese multimedia product with a really well designed user interface - DVD-porties, MP3/MP4/whatever players, they all had their glitches.

I'd also go for a double din device with mirrorlink, this way, you can (if you have a galaxy s3 or (i assume this works, too) s4) use any navigation software you want on your stereo :)

I have no experience with these devices, because someone keeps me from throwing out my stereo :(

I also have to warn you of the crappy yatour plug-in-adapters.
I bought one, just to find out that it supports USB sticks with lots of GB, but can only read 15 folders (however, I don't know whether this is a toyota limitation as it emulates a cd changer).
In addition, it hangs quite often and the bluetooth adapter is only useful for handsfree use, music sounds like through a telephone :(

I run the N7 2013 in the car, semi installed as double din. Runs Torque App all the time. Audio hooked up to amp to drive speakers, and another amp to drive the sub.

The android units from china aren't bad, I've had mine in for two and a half years now and it's still doing fine. Look on ebay, they run around $350 shipped.

This is old pic i found with the N7 2012 version. I pop the tablet out when i get out of the car, bit of a hassle, but i get to use the tablet as a tablet.

The huge cut in the plastic was to fit the old Nook Color i use to run with. The Nook Color also required me to ditch the air control stuff as you can tell. The N7 2013 is even "shorter" when in landscape so I can put the air control stuff back in, and im sure doesnt require all that drastic cutting.

And this is how it looked with red lighting everywhere
