Review: Diode Dynamic FRS Always-On Module - Page 3 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

This is a great mod. At max brightness setting at night you can see the road with no lights on and it looks sick!

I put this on my BRZ Limited a few months ago and have had no issues. The BRZ version does require you to string a cable between the headlights, and that was the most challenging part. I did not want it to be visible, so I removed (and then replaced) a few bits in the center under the hood latch until I had room to thread the plug and wire through. After that, no wires show at all.

After a bit of brightness adjusting, I am really pleased with the mod. Gives it the look it should have had from the factory! Diode does good work, and I'm sure they worked with anyone who had early troublesome versions of this mod. I've ordered a couple of things from them and always had great results.

Is it still working ok? Been waiting for them to bring it back to market but guessing they are having trouble with the units. I had to use google to find it on their website...

I returned it after my 2nd one came apart. Literally the wires came out. I'm using a beat sonic one and is problem free.

I got my refund on this by disputing on my AMEX. Diode was going to charge me 5 dollars restocking fee since I said I wasn't satisfied.

Wow thats a serious design flaw, normally dd is on the ball in fact all the lighting stuff on my car is from them, but it seems these specific products made just for the brz/frs have failed constantly.

I ordered this when it first released and the brightness didn't adjust and stayed at 100%. Got a replacement and it worked fine for a couple weeks then again, brightness went back to full 100% and couldn't adjust.

Since I was out of the return date when it failed, I guess I'm going to have to wait for the fix and get a new one under warranty or something. It has been months and I don't care for it anymore since I ended up getting the beat sonic one and its been perfect.

Everyone is talking about the @Beat-Sonic version of this mod but I haven't been able to find it online anywhere...

Jesus. Are you even capable of using fucking google? Literally the first result on google after searching for "beat sonic scion frs" led me to their website's product page. Admittedly, it was only showing shark fin antennas though. Then, I typed in what kind of car I was looking for parts for. Then, I found this.

Typing this post took longer than searching for the damn thing. I hope your mommy tucks you in extra tight, so that you can't hurt yourself during the night.

@go_a_way1 some people's fucking kids...

Wow. Dude. Calm down and read my post again. Everyone is talking about the module for a BRZ. Of course there is one for the FRS that is EASILY found. But I'm looking for the one for the BRZ that everyone is talking about. Granted, this post is for the FRS, but there are people mentioning it for the BRZ in the DiodeDynamics thread as well.

Again, if you looked at their website, you'd see that they don't make one for the BRZ. The FRS one could be compatible with the BRZ, but I don't know if it is.

That's also a post about it for the FRS, not for the BRZ. Do you wear a helmet?

Haha. Did you check the link I included? Since DiodeDynamics are apparently not selling their Always-On module for the BRZ, I've read some members who have posted that they have opted for the Beat-Sonic unit instead. Doing a Google search returns nothing on Beat-Sonic selling a BRZ specific unit and their FRS unit is explicitly stated to NOT work for the BRZ.

http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showp...7&postcount=13

So I'm just wondering where people are getting a Beat-Sonic unit that works for the BRZ.

Seriously, though, why the hostility? I did my due diligence, couldn't find an answer, and have asked a perfectly valid question. I've been the Search Nazi before, too, but damn...
