It's not an unplugging issue. The ipods flip into this state roughly half the time when the HU powers up if they were plugged in when the unit powered down.

There's no adapter I'm aware of for the XM antenna or the built in mic (because it's not line level, it's amplified). Nor is there a good din adapter yet. Other than the wire that turns the door speaker amp on, the speaker wiring is the same as previous years of the BRZ. My pioneer harness colors matched the colors on the Metra harness perfectly 1:1 and it was very easy to get the speakers working. The camera requires a bit more work. I totally agree with you that the stock headunit is a piece of shit, and I've noticed there is a large delay over BT which drove me mad. The iPod functionality sucks too. It really has no redeeming features. For the dashboard you could actually buy a 2015 or older dashboard fascia from eBay if you don't care to keep the one that came in your car. Personally I liked the fake carbon look of mine so I left it alone. I almost bought the blacked out JDM one from TRD on eBay for about $90, it has a square double din hole that would work fine with the existing din adapter. It's really just a personal choice. |

Ppl say the mics that come with radios are better anyway and an XM antenna is no different then a gps one so easy to hide. Everything else has adapters (don't see aux/USB being different

Just go after market and be done with it. I had an OEM looking backup camera installed at the same time and it works flawlessly with my phone. It flips down in a motorized fashion and hides behind it an SD card slot that I stuffed a 32GB SD card into. Keeps all my play lists and all meta data including album art appears.
They even gave us the gift of having no buttons on the wheel to worry about syncing with another head unit. The one and only drawback is the need to stick an antenna onto the front wind shield glass for the GPS receiver. I don't even notice it these day's as its on the passenger side and not overly big.

There's a thread literally on the first page of the electronics section, where basically all of our work into this has already been hashed out and done.
The XM tuner is built into the head unit itself. You could get a head unit that supports XM, but it's going to come with an antenna if it does, so there's no point in crying about the factory one. Better idea - do yourself a favor, stop spending exorbitant amounts of money on XM, and buy yourself a better data plan. It's 2016, the year of the stream. There is no adapter kit for the new slash cut radio. The series.blue and maybe others have a similar (but not the same) simulated CF trim with a standard "Toyota universal" cut, which is wider than standard DIN and will either need an adapter kit or a wider head unit to fill the gaps. Anyway, @treminaor's info is legit, use it and enjoy. Don't connect your camera to an aftermarket unit without the module he posted, you'll blow it up. To those of you posting about the 2016 Starlink that have never used it or seen it in operation, please stop polluting our threads with misinformation. I'm not trying to be an ass, it's just getting tiresome and you're only confusing people. This also goes for anyone with Starlink in their Legacy, Impreza, Tribeca, Baja, SVX, whatever the fuck. It's not the same. Thank you. |

Just about everything else about the Starlink unit is the BRZ is hideous as well. It's slow to do nearly everything making it hazardous while driving to do something as simple as change the radio station. The bluetooth only sort of syncs with the phone and fails to import frequently called numbers or the call history deciding that instead maintaining its own lists is somehow better. Also, it alphabetizes by last name which is different than how Android alphabetizes making the contact list just a touch more challenging to navigate than it should be. A couple more paychecks and the stereo fairy will be visiting my BRZ. |

The '15 is even more wierd. All contacts imported fine, but no messages and on incoming calls refuse to show contact info and acts lik a random caller. Every single contact is in the phone ok on the HU tho |

I'd still probably at least go aftermarket with a sat tuner. |
