It's scheduled to be delivered today. There are already tons of mods for this HU, Google "HuiFei - 2 DIN Pure Android 4.2.2/4.4.2/4.4.4 RK3066 Car Stereo Radio Head Unit" to see.

These units ship from China, so warranty claims can be very shady. They make them (like the one mentioned above) to be a very close-to-factory look, so at a glance, I'm hoping a thief can't easy distinguish the unit from a stock NAV unit. However, these have pre-programmed CAN bus that are supposedly plug-and-play for steering wheel controls and everything. I have a 2014 with Alpine Premium package Sahara, so I'm wondering if it will interface correctly with the stock amp.

There's also an American reseller, Insane Jeep Audio, that I'm pretty sure simply buys these units (they look 100% identical from the pictures) and sells them with a huge markup. If you look around, this company swears otherwise... but if you take a close look at pictures on their site and forums, you'll notice even down to the wiring harness that the font on the labels, the screen shots, everything is 100% identical.

I'll post a thread once I get the unit in, DHL says it's on the courier's truck for delivery today. Here's a pic:
