Yup, I got the ca-fi knockoff version and haven't had a problem with it yet. Been tethering it to my phone for net connection. I think I've figured out the steering wheel control problem, but I have to buy a $60 unit to make it work which I haven't done yet.
Still haven't figured out how to use the stock iPod and Aux inputs, though. I think it'd be easy if I could find diagrams for the stock aux harness, but no luck yet. What I may end up doing is just tearing out that entire cable since I think it just leads to the aux stuff in the center armrest, and figuring out how to manually switch it out for the new stuff.
I have no doubt that in a couple of years we'll see these head units come with better processors, capacative screens, and Jelly Bean standard. This is the first foray into Android-based head units (though I don't know why it's taken someone this long to do it), and as they get more and more popular they'll get more and more powerful, and cheaper hopefully.
To me, this is the only way to go if you want a touchscreen head unit in your car.
