Android head unit

I've searched and found a few write ups on some units that are a year or two old. Anyone have links to anything newer, or know what the latest and greatest is?

I'd be interested in this as well. I've got a CaFi Dashlinq4 but feel like it's beginning to show its age.

If you like I will make a DIY Guide.

How do you like your CaFi unit, other than getting old? I was looking into the CT 701000. It must be decent because it's been sold out since I got my car and started looking into aftermarket HU.

What's the difference between this one, http://ca-fi.com/store/index.php?rou...product_id=409
and the "Toyota" universal?

$50 RCA Voyager tablet from Walmart. I was testing the fitment and functionality with it. I might upgrade and put a Nexus 7 or a galaxy tablet.

Right now it has music, torque apps etc. Im in the process of connecting it to the backup cam. There really isn't another way to make phone calls work yet.

I'm also going to get another trim piece and try to fit it in better .
