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.

Thanks for that info, that's pretty much what I've been seeing about the Asteroid units being too limited with app selection. Like you said I'm not terribly keen on knock-offs since the normal units are only a bit more expensive and are supported by the company. It seems that for the moment the Dashlinq4 is somewhat unrivaled except by a tablet install which is more work and hassle.
Despite being very tempted, I'm still on the fence since it's a decent chunk of change and my headunit is still working so it would just be a luxury at this point. Maybe I'll wait for the Dashlinq5.
