Not too sure about the knock-offs since they're still a few hundred bucks but I'll see what they're about.

Parrot Asteroid headunits are Android 2.3 (which is soon to become obsolete) running on A8 single-core processors and 512 MB DDR2 RAM. The user interface in these units are way too restrictive and you can only install Parrot-approved apps through their in-house App Store.
If you want a true Android experience like in the Ca-Fi, you have to root and hack the hell of it to get basic things such as Google Play running.
Now, as for the knockoffs, if I were you I'd stay with the Ca-Fi. It may be a bit more expensive, but their integration of non-Android hardware specific to car stereos is way better than any of the knockoffs, as it's done into the operating system itself.
