Am I the only one perfectly happy with the Bespoke unit? I think it rocks. It's very user friendly and isn't laggy. The only way it could be better is if it had navigation.

Unless I have completely missed how to do this, the only complaint I have is when you want to select a song you have to scroll all the way through the list to get the song you want. Then, when you want to change the song, you hit "tracks" and it starts you all the way up at the top of the list and you have to scroll all the way through to get to the song you want. Is their an easier way to navigate this? Other then that I have no complaints.

I just wish the BeSpoke had a better navigation option (beyond the terrible app), or at the very least, was compatible with iPhone 5.

^^this is my only complaint

and to clarify, this isnt a bespoke problem, but a problem with apple/iphone5. if apple hadnt taken video out on the iphone, then everything would work fine

I just want to be able to switch my stock Scion stereo with the one from the BRZ. Is this possible? How much would it be? Anyone know?

My bespoke (pioneer in canada..same) is simply the best OEM deck I ever had in all the cars I had.

Buy an ipod and put it in the car.

I honestly don't see what everyone is complaining about. The bespoke unit is great. Now I'm not saying that you can't get a better after market head unit, but there is nothing wrong with the bespoke. Sound quality is top notch if you ask me and I'm coming from pioneer/kicker sound system that was also great.

The only thing that would make me go back to the BeSpoke head unit that I paid an extra premium for just to replace with a $400 head unit is Android friendliness. All I ask for is Pandora support for Android. If it integrated Pandora on Android as well as my SPH-DA100 did I'd fall in love with it.

I didn't get to examine (long term) the BeSpoke in the FRS I test drove. I will say the BRZ head unit is simply more visually appealing from the get-go, when I turned the radio up in the FRS I couldn't hear it during the test drive (not sure if salesperson turned it down and I missed it) but when we took out the BRZ it was enough to fill the car at low volume. XM radio was a must for me so that's a plus in the BRZ column.

Overall the Alpine head unit in our Lancer has much better SQ than either stereo, even with the stock speakers. I would buy another if I had the cash on hand (haven't checked to see if it would fit). There's one that's a step up but I liked the screen better on this one.

To the OP: Complaining is one thing but what do you hope to get from it? They're not going to establish a recall on a stereo you don't like. Your best shot at changing anything is in a future model and by the time a future version of the car is released the technology will have changed so it's unlikely it'd be either present stereo.

A cord for the iphone 5 would be nice and the bespoke app is some shit. I hate how my iphone plugs into the usb port the bluetooth automatically shuts off. I guess most of my issues are caused by the iphone 5 lol.
