I was a little skeptical at first since there wasn’t much info online about Insane Audio, but make no mistake about it… this is by far the best head unit I’ve ever seen and IMHO it’s by far the best option for a JK. Here is why: Installation took about 20min. They give you all kinds of cables and miscellaneous stuff, but the bottom line is that it is entirely plug and play. It fits perfectly in the dash (no mods) and looks great. It plugs right into the stock wiring harness. Steering wheel controls worked right out of the box. Works with my Infinity sound system right out of the box. Overall, the quality of this unit seems solid. It appears to be well built and in my dash it looks like it came straight from the factory. Sound quality is good (better then my OEM head unit) but I’m planning on really pushing this system to the limit in the very near future and I plan to get a lot more out of it. Right now, I just plugged it into my factory wiring harness and am re-using the existing factory “premium” speakers. I plan on using the pre-amp outputs and having a separate amp for my mains and another for my subs.. .building a custom speaker box behind the rear seats… etc. I have a lot planned, but it’s nice that for now everything works with my stock system and I can upgrade down the road. Android is 4.2.2 and fully unlocked. Having Android as your head unit is awesome. I will never go back to a non-android head unit. Ever. I’ve already connected to the internet through my phone and installed Pandora, Spotify, Amazon Prime for movies, Google Earth, etc. I’ve used Torque on my smartphone before but it is just plain awesome in my dash on that nice big touch screen. At present, I’m playing around with Google Voice control and trying to figure out how to get it to work offline so I can search for music, when I’m offline and off the beaten path. The point here is that you can customize the system however you want. Being connected is nice, but not necessary. You can do anything. It’s also worth noting that this is a much better solution than just using a tablet in your Jeep because it’s the complete package – not only does it look better in the dash, but you’ve got steering wheel controls, AM/FM radio, etc. Everything is there. I haven’t had a chance to use the navigation system much yet, but it already looks better than anything I’ve seen. It’s got nice 3D maps showing the hills near my house and… while it may seem a bit silly.. I really, really like the fact that they’ve got a little Jeep icon driving down the road. It’s just plain cool. I’m looking forward to taking this offroad and seeing how much topography is actually shown when I’m out on the trail. Lastly, it’s worth noting that Insane Audio has an online user forum that is a big plus in my book. I posted a question yesterday evening and had an answer from their support staff first thing this morning. (Insane Audio User Forum • View topic - Removing devices from bluetooth ) So as of now, I’m pretty happy with the support I’m receiving. It’s nice to see users on the forum sharing ideas and such and this is just another example of how this company is thinking differently. The forum is a great resource that I plan on using a lot. I know this is a long post but there were a lot of folks bashing this product on the forum who may or may not have had the time to really look at it. I have no affiliation with Insane Audio whatsoever and went into this as a skeptic. As of right now, I’ve become a huge fan. If you haven’t seen this head unit in person.. check it out. So far, I’m loving it.

Seems they're also working on a CB integration.

Currently, I'm going to hold off and monitor, possibly wait for the next "version". Also wondering how subsequent Android upgrades will go. They're on 4.2.2 while my phone is on 4.4.4 and soon to be 5.0
