2015 FR-S Release 1.0 BeSpoke

So I'm finalizing my order as the car is still on the boat. Dealer tells me that it has BeSpoke with Navi but has no idea on satellite compatibility. Anyone here know what HU it will be and whether or not it will be Sirius XM adaptable?
Thanks in advance.

The FR-S is not available with XM. Only the BRZ is.

I was not aware that the 1.0 came with navi. In some pix of the interior it shows a map being displayed , but on the official website it makes no mention of it. Unless you paid for the option?

Mostly true, the original FRS was XM ready with an adapter.

Should be able to run xm thru your phone app and then bluetooth thru radio? At least that what my kids tell me

I have the bespoke unit in my 2014 and I see no direct XM anywhere.

True, I haven't seen an option from Scion to officially put a sat receiver in the FR-S. But you should be able to use the TC's XM receiver that Scion sells. Many people from various forums have done this. I also saw a post on our forums that talked about using XM radio. Take a look. Hope this helps.

I took the question as, is there a factory option for the FR-S directly. The answer to that question is, "No." There are, of course, workarounds.

Lol, I thought so I needed a break at work at this topic looked interesting to research. I'd almost use Sat Radio, but then again I hear there are more commercials on it now. Back to Bluetooth lol.

I just got my 2015 FR-S about 3 weeks ago, with Navigation, and Premium Pioneer sound. Sadly their was no manual other than a "quick" start guide for the audio and navigation system, So I contacted Pioneer & Scion, which couldn't help because they said it was sold to Scion. After a little persuading, Pioneer gave me this link, and so I will share it with you. I have the BeSpoke app downloaded on my iPhone 5S, which isn't fully integrated with BeSpoke after the 4S, also I downloaded the Aha Radio app, the salesman said I would need, which is interesting at best. I can search music on my laptop, but cannot save it into a playlist to play when I drive, although I can get a premium subscription to Slacker Radio, and save the playlist, but then have to bluetooth that through a usb cord into the car, but if I want to play my playlist on my premium subscription, I have to download the slacker app, then play the app through my Premium Audio, as I said, it's not fully integrated with iPhones after the 4S, and doesn't appear their is any effort being placed into integration by anyone, although aha advertises their comparable to iPhone 4S, on the other hand, on the older models, as friends also have Premium Pioneer Audio in the FR-S (2013), their systems aren't compatable with the android. The good news is, I can operate my navigation without the use of my iPhone at all, and independently. This i've tried, because the last thing I wanted was to be in the middle of "BFE" and lose phone service, and not have directions either.... So I tested the navigation with the phone off. Also have tried and tested the above information, so i'm confidently passing it onto you. The manual for the system is online.... I downloaded it into a flash drive, then printed up the 200 page manual at office depot for about $30.00 with a 3 ring binder to store it in. Let me post the link for this audio system, and you can view it online, because No One has really been able to show me much about the system, other than pairing my phone, and selecting stations etc... Hope this answers all your questions. If you have further questions, feel free to ask, I'll try to answer what I know.

Thanks for the share. I'm sure others will want to use this manual for the BeSpoke receiver.

I called Scion a couple of weeks or so ago and they could not confirm if the RS 1.0 had the Premium Bespoke Nav system as a standard option, and I got the impression that it was not standard... Correct me if I've mistaken.

Also, I was planning on placing an order for a non-RS 1.0 and adding the $1,200 Bespoke Premium Audio and Nav... Is this a fully worthwhile and function option for folks who have it in place within their FR-S?

Thank you in advance.

You can get a better aftermarket stereo than the paying extra for the Scion Premium system.

I'm sure many would agree with you, however I feel more comfortable with what's offered as OEM. That, and it drives me nuts when Scion has a MAPS button and is useless without the upgrade. Decisions, lol.
