Having read through all this I really think you have a number of problems that you haven't yet hit.
The best option that will work with the car is a portable USB drive and mp3's but even this is limited by the flash memory in the car infotainment system. It is unlikely to be able to properly index 170GBs of files (even as MP3). The library size limit is determined by the capacity of the flash memory. Some people have built Pi based LMS servers that reside in the car, tweaked to provide WLAN access point and then use an old iPhone (and iPeng) as a player / controller via bluetooth. Unfortunately this may not be fully controllable via the car infotainment system. Try your phone via bluetooth and see what the control is like.
