No because the shape is different:

Iirc we could go after market with the pioneer units, or if we are lucky the 86 units will have it. I'm just wondering how it would work with the built in rear camera, of you go after market, I'm not very well verse in that area of the car.

It's not as bad as you think. I have a 2016 which came with the backup camera. I put in a ca-fi dashlinq 4 and had my car electrician guy figure out all the wattage and wiring needed to provide the camera with the correct wattage and volts. All mumbo jumbo to me but in the end i have an aftermarket HU which works with my OEM backup camera.

To be fair, the page working has been inconsistent, so hourly checkups don't hurt at this point

It's still not working well for mobile platforms

Just based on the horrible reviews and outdated software of the starlink app makes me not want to use it. Do you feel the same? I tried installing the app yesterday but it did not look optimized at all and kind of useless features. (All i saw was weather and sime other thing)

Yea, I don't plan on using any of the other random apps. I just want to try the GPS since this time around it is from a legit GPS company and uses maps from your phone. I've also heard only bad things about starlink.

On another note, I saw in one of these threads that you're revs aren't smooth. I obviously haven't been above 4k, but mine feels super smooth. The car feels great to drive and I don't even think the clutch feels too high though my TT could have been high as well and I'm just used to it.

Its not that the revs arent smooth. But everytime i rev theres a dip before it revs up.

You're still having that issue?

Have you reset the battery to let the ECU relearn the throttle? I'm not sure if it would help, but maybe it's worth a shot?

^ Is this with the PP as outfitted in Japan? I heard him use the word "prototype" a few times....

He drives the car really hard, unlike the other Japanese drives I've seen. Would be very interesting to get a summary translation. Handling looks very neutral, bit of tail-out on exit a few times.
