I would say that looks like a fair price. I got mine at distributor price and not even close to the 200 and change price.

i can tell you guys that as of 2 weeks ago, DEALER cost was $475. i think that $239 is like an upgrade fee, but I dont think you'll be buying a head unit anywhere new for $239

Maybe the double in price rumor was true after all $239 x 2 = $478 lol

If the bespoke module is around $500 dealer cost than I will be ok with a 1k gps and the whistles radio.

The 239 from scion site is probably upgrade, which means they keep the base stock HU.

I know when I had my tc the scion site listed the premium HU for lower than you can buy it yourself retail . Since if you buy it separately, you can resell the base HU

Also like how the 2013 bespoke unit was a 995 upgrade (correct me if I'm wrong) but if you wanted to buy it yourself, it was $1289 but that was Msrp price
(Yes an absurd ripoff)

I thought all 2014 Scions are coming with the display audio stock. I remember hearing that when they introduced the new TC.

They are. This is for the 13 fr-s to upgrade from the base unit (big knob and little bitty screen) to touchscreen at new sale.

Worth a shot, so if someone attempts please report. I doubt it though.

Edit 6/21/2013 - Spoke to dealership from where I got my FR-S 5 weeks ago. They offer to sell me the unit at their price plus installattion. The quote was near $800 lol
Did a chat with Scion.com folks and they referred me to any dealership to buy the unit and install but mentioned that dealership prices vary from MSRP.

If anyone has success please post how.
