How hard would it be to write an app that controls the AC?

Very difficult.
And this is coming from someone that writes apk's.
I cannot, however, speak on Apple OS. Just from a Android OS perspective.

If you run a mini Ipad for navigation, does it need a data plan for the mapping software???

I need Nav in my car and the factory $2,000 option is pricey.

If you get an Android tablet, you can use Google maps offline. Just need to download your area. https://support.google.com/gmm/bin/a...answer=2650218

I recommended getting the Nexus 7 rather than an ipad mini. For $199, you get more of the latest tech for less money than the mini.

Not to mention your iPad would have to be hardwired to the car's interface that controls the AC etc. Otherwise how else could you control it even if you had the app.
