BRZ Navi in the FRS?

Hey everyone, I'm just wondering if anyone has done this? I'm looking to purchase a BRZ navi, but I'm not sure what kind of plugs will be required. Any help would be appreciated!

I am almost sure it is... It should have the same wiring, I can confirm with Toyota.

That would be great. I wonder if it's just a simple plug and play? I doubt it though, with the navi and all...

I hope you guys are getting a really good deal on a BRZ NAV unit. Even though I will not be replacing it soon I wouldn't buy another one on purpose!

Considering what people are paying for the bespoke hu, yeah, I would say I'm getting a good deal.

I wouldn't wish the BRZ navigation unit on my worst enemy. It's pretty hateful to use.

Is that right? Hmm, I've only used it a few times. I would love to hear others opinions. Maybe I'll opt for an aftermarket deck...

I hope it would be a 100% direct swap but I have a feeling it's not, but that's just based off the fact the antenna is different.

It isn't that bad. Not as nice as the AVICs I've used in the past but now that I'm used to it, it works just fine.

The antenna is larger for the GPS, head unit might work but the antenna is gonna be an issue.

The connectors are different, but splicing should make it work.
