BRZ Canadian USB & Aux Swap?
 

I am still waiting for my BRZ to arrive, but I was disappointed in seeing that the USB & Aux cables are not in the same location as the American one.

As my car gets closer I was wondering if anyone had swapped the USB & Aux locations yet?

This is the Canadian Dash & Glove(where the usb&aux is located =\ )

And this is how the American one looks

If someone has can you post a DIY, I couldn't find anything on this topic.

I don't have an answer for you, but the picture just reminds me how much more I like the Canadian nav unit vs the US one (crappy that it has no voice rec though). Sorry off topic...

Uhh... most people would want what we have in Canada (Inside the glove compartment where it is all hidden) over the fully-exposed iPhone wire hanging out of your centre console... :iono:

That being said; the FR-S in Canada does has that mounted in the centre console.

I like it in the glove box personally, that way I dont have to see the cables/USB all the time.

Woah, .5 degrees? We don't have that over here... Sorry off topic..

Celsius...

Since every degree in celcius is 1.8 degrees fahrenheit, it would only make sense for them to get .5 degree increments. However, as a numbers guy, I am jealous of the apparent level of precision their units display :D

Even so, I expected it to show whole Celsius degrees.

@ OP, you can probably get the part that plugs into the dash. I've seen one from a old Outback that just has a USB input on the back as well.

These may help:

OEM BRZ part is called: Stereo jack adapter ASSY No.1

Here's another thread somewhat related to what you're trying to do: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=8595

I wish mine was in the glove box, you are lucky. Also wish I had the Pioneer unit you guys get instead of the Fujitsu-Ten here.

i know its :offtopic: but its my thread LOL but can you post your unit

Thats the one the american ones have, i like the size of the screen better :P and the fact that you have a reverse cam...or did you do that yourself?
PM btw so I can stay off this thread

I have one of the centre USB jacks for sale. It is brand new in the box, I will sell it for what I paid...$75.00 plus shipping. I was going to do the switch but changed my mind. Let me know.

So do US model BR-Z not have anything in the glove box?

In a Canadian FR-S I have 1 USB/Aux in the dash (same spot as the US BR-Z) as well as a USB in the glove box (no aux there though, which I would actually prefer)

I bet you can buy that USB/Aux combo port pretty cheap from toyota. It's the same one used in other models toyota makes.

I like it better in the glovebox from an aesthetic standpoint but it is kind of annoying having to plug it in every time. Had this in my Audi and I always forgot to plug the phone in until I started driving.

Why is it that much better in plain view? I'd invest in an extra cable to permanently have in the car to charge your phone or whatever. Open the glove box and tada, your cable is there.

I got the USB in the front and I got the wire going INSIDE the glove box, lol

So kind of off topic, but somewhat related. I pulled my usb/aux plug out of the center and put it in the glovebox, perfect amount of cable to move it, now I just need to remove my glovebox and dremel out a hole so it is flush mounted instead of placed in the glovebox. For the empty hole where the usb/aux used to be I am going to add a rocker switch to power my radar detector on and off. Heres a rough idea of how it will look:

Anyone install a USB/aux in the centre console?
 

I'm curious if any of us Canadians have installed the USB/aux in the centre console, in addition to the one we have in the glove compartment. I'd like to have both available, but I'm wondering what wiring would have to be done to have them both functional.
