would it make any sense to use this for tuning a car stereo? particularly, to compensate for engine or road noise?

  Not really. That's an immediate noise cancellation function, which only works (a) with headphones and (b) by recording the outside noise and adding its inverse to the sound being played.

    i don't mean necessarily doing active NC. i was more curious about doing an initial tune with the car at idle or while driving on the road as a way to compensate for the average. is there any value in doing something like that? maybe even just to tune the EQ profile of the car.

      No, as the frequencies involved will vary based on speed, engine RPM, and what seat you're sitting in.

      some cars/car stereos have had auto eq'ing with an active microphone in the past, I have to assume they still do. my 2007 has active eq'ing to counteract road noise, and a different eq setting when the top is up, based on a switch. it's a Bose stereo.
