Can you guy compare the new scion fully loaded OEM unit with Nav Vs. after market pioneer model like the Z140/Z150 which is sale for around $650/$850. Which has better performance to go for ?

I looked at the z150 very hard before deciding on the oem. In short this is what I liked about the z150

Bigger screen
GPS bells and whistles
App mode for smartphones
Xm radio ready

Hands down more features

Why I decided on oem

Easy installation
Kept functionality on stock USB and mic without jumping through hoops
Perfect fit on dash
Most importantly, the radio says Scion on radio itself and start up screen lol

Can someone with one of these new headunits attempt to play a AAC (.m4a) off USB stick to see if it will recognize and play it?

http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=39071

bespoke unit is $1244 (I have one for sale for $950).

you need the head unit AND the bespoke upgrade to enable NAv.

I actually don't even have the car yet. I was just researching up on if I should have waited or not but still didn't get it yet.

Really trying to decide if I want a stick or auto..
