How to tell if you have the Bongiovi upgrade?
 

I keep hearing about how crappy the stock speakers sound from posts on here unless you have the Bongiovi upgrade, but find mine sounds very good.

I didn't pay for the Bongiovi, just the touch screen head unit (Canada gets a VERY basic unit stock, or a pioneer touch screen upgrade, no nav). Is there any way to tell visually (under carpets, looking at speakers, etc) if mine came with a freebie upgrade?

I believe I have the Aerosmith upgrade. :happyanim:

Nope, sorry, I've got the Dave Clark 5 upgrade......

do you mean bonjovi?

No, I mean Bongiovi... maybe it's a Canadian only option?

Click on Audio Accessories, it's available both factory and dealer installed "Bongiovi Acoustics DPS"

whoa

who knew?

heck I want the Metallica option...

If Bongiovi was installed, there is a small Bongiovi Acoustics DPS badge that would be installed on the dash trim above the top right corner of your head unit.

^^ Other than that, any way to tell? I keep hearing people saying how crappy their stock deck/speakers are, but I find mine are actually better than some aftermarket systems I've had in past cars.

The basic stereo is still an 8 speaker 300w system... Factory stereos are starting to get really good

I agree. I don't get the crappy stock speakers comments. I was pleasantly surprised by how good they are. Way better than my 2006 WRX's were. I had to go aftermarket because of how terrible those were and I think the stock system in my BRZ is comparable to the aftermarket component speakers I had. At least at normal listening volumes.

It would have been written on your invoice, I'm pretty sure.

I got the pionner upgrade (the US version of BeSpoke).I'm sure it's the same unit though.

And I agree that the speakers are quite good as long as you don't blast it too loud. Just got to turn the bass 2 notch down from max.

I have the bongiovi accessory. To see if you have it installed take off the radio face plate trim. Then remove 4 screws to loosen the CD Deck. Directly below the radio is the Bongiovi amp. It looks like a computer hard drive and it's hard to miss in such a small space.

My Bongiovi had no sticker on the Deck so taking it apart was the next idea. If you need to find out what the unit looks like just go to http://www.bongioviacoustics.com/index_main.php and poke around. I believe it is only a Canadian option.

The Bongiovi DPS digital amp is the full name I believe.

You can also go in the audio settings on your touchscreen display. If you have the Bongiovi upgrade, you'll have the option to activate it "DPS on" or something like this. Sorry I don't know it off the top of my head, but it's one of the selections where you can change the bass level and such (on that same screen).

Is this it??
 

I have that screen! :thanks::thanks:

I HAVE THAT SCREEN TOO OMG I WANTED THIS SO BAD BUT I DIDN'T ASK FOR IT BUT I'M SO GLAD I GOT THIS FOR FREE!!

Dude you just bumped an 8 month old thread. A baby conceived on the day this thread was last posted in would almost be born at this point.

People have changed their toothbrushes several times since the last post in this thread.

Yeah but I just got my new FR-S yesterday. :(

That's not even the Bongiovi screen, i have that screen and i definitely don't have Bongiovi.

....yeah... that's right..... we have....

I'm still using the same toothbrush from when I was 12.


Weird? Or frugal.

Depends, are you 13 now?

Twelve and a quarter.

Do you have a webcam? I have candy.

Erm, that's DPS (digital power station) not DSP (digital signal processor).

I see in your info it says "Time Traveler", maybe you should go back in time a year or two to post that when it was relevant?

There's a currently GB going for these in another thread. So ppl looking for info on the board might come across this thread just as I did. Keep you suggestions for when they're asked.

No thanks, I'm always full of suggestions. My next one might be to quit your day job if you're going to dig up old threads to correct them all. You've got a bit of work ahead of you ;)
