Double DIN Android units

I'm in the market for one and while the ca-fi looks nice, there are cheaper ones out there. Has anyone tried any others such as the Eonon G2110? My only concern is fitment as it has square corners and I'm not sure if it'll fit into the dash cleanly.

If the ca-fi unit was updatable to newer ROMs, such as Lollipop that is rolling out now, I'd be all over it.

Please share which unit you have, price, and some feedback. Thanks!

Planning to encrypt the data in your cars radio?
Anyways, I'd stick with the Cafi as it seems to have a lot of support from this community unless you are the type that's cool with pioneering your own mods.

TBH I'd look for the processor specs for whatever you look at, that will ultimately determine the units ability to support more robust ROMs

Encrypt data? How did you come up with that based on what I said?

There's support, but I want something that hopefully with have custom ROMs developed for.

It should fit with a dash kit to fill in the sides as its a regular double din and is not as wide as our head unit. Ca-Fi has a version with the correct face to be a direct fit and look a lot better.
