Default Touch Screen Climate Control

Hi, I have a 2005 GT Premium. I have been extremely envious of the newer mustang interior technology (and all newer cars in general), so much that I have continuously upgraded mine. I have had the INSANE idea of removing the ***** and buttons controlling the climate control and replacing it with a touch screen to operate it. I plan on using a Raspberry Pi for the computing and an accompanying display for it. I have 2 bumps in the road; I want to shift the frame holding the radio up to accompany a larger screen, and the 26 pin connector is a slight mystery. If anyone could assist in these situations or just give any input it would be greatly appreciated. The coding itself will not be a problem; beginning the spring semester here, my old computer science teacher will be using her AP Computer Science 2 class, roughly 20 extremely intelligent high school students, herself (a computer scientist obviously), and my Physics Calculus teacher will be assisting with this part. The most help I would utilize is, if anyone has relocated their radio/altered the frame, and a diagram or schematic of what each pin on the black/yellow 26 pin connection is. Thank you in advance.

I've always wanted to do that mod, just replace everything with a 10 inch tablet, alas, my electronics skills are nil and so are my programming skills, so that idea is never going anywhere. I got as far as modding a replacement dash to fit an ipad but the nightmare of hooking everything up made me give up.
