lol what, I think that $239 is the price when coming with a new frs lol
but for 239 I'll go give it a go hahahaha

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. :mad0259:

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.

Can you provide the link for that?

So then can MY13 owners go to the dealer and upgrade to this touchscreen unit for $239?

This is for 13, all 14 is standard, u can find link on the Scion website at FRS accessory part

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.

bump on this...curious to see if $239 is an upgrade or just a purchase. Not very interested in the BeSpoke...just the touch screen

This is how the wonderful (sarcasm) dealership folks explained it to me. Come in buy a new FR-S and we will upgrade your stock radio to the touchscreen base radio for $239. :barf:

pretty sure its upgrade price. The previous stock pioneer HU MSRP for about 450. I Doubt this new one with a touchscreen would be cheaper.

lol... here's the price for the display unit, not exactly $298. i'm MORE than happy to have gotten the HU for $525

Wow that looks way better than what the FRS has now, one of the reasons I got BRZ is the touch screen HU. My only gripe with it is I wish it had that track seek button that this one has. No steering control and having the look at the LCD to skip track is slightly annoying.

is the new base hu price come with the nav module already installed?
Im on the stock FRS unit right now and even if it was an upgrade price, id still be willing to swap. been looking for a cheap hu with navi and bluetooth

Yeah does anyone know if this touchscreen upgrade will come with navigation as standard?

This will save so much headache for choosing a good aftermarket unit especially since this will be plug n play if I'm not wrong.

here's the deal as best I understand it. the new FRS will come with JUST the touch screen head unit. nav and bespoke/aha will be a $1200 update. judging by the price point that toyota is selling these things for (basically same setup) I'm guessing the $2200 price tag is the head unit PLUS the nav module. that would make sense as the nav module should be about $1200 and the $525 price we're getting the head units for right now is about HALF of what it should be $1000. add the two and you get $2200.

Hmm....if I ordered a '13 model and ordered the touchscreen head unit along with the car would it be $1200(for the navi update) or $1500 in total(since price of upgrade to touchscreen is $239 on the site)

I went to the dealership today and they knew something about the a new HU with GPS but couldn't even find it on the website so I just continued checking out the car. I knew more about the car then they did. I was frustrated as hell lol

$239 for touchscreen upgrade and $1200 for gps. Deal with salesperson to meet you halfway on cost of upgrades.

Ah awesome. Thanks for the clarification.

At least now we have OEM touchscreen with gps available.

Thanks again bro

i have NO IDEA what that $293 price is all about. clearly its not a head unit price because the head unit is going to be about $1200 by itself with NO nav. ask the OP where that picture came from saying its $293

Yeah I didn't really understand the pricing either but...

It's on the scion site.
http://www.scion.com/cars/FR-S/acces...wAll&view=grid

ok, so its pretty clear that if you buy a new scion, you can upgrade the old base unit to this one as a dealer installed option. but if you've already taken delivery of your car, you're sorta SOL since the dealer wont take your "used" base model head unit back. then after spending $293 on the head unit, you can add nav for an additional $1005

Cool cool. Got it now.

1244 from factory ain't too bad. That's without the discounts.

Can you guy compare the new scion fully loaded OEM unit with Nav Vs. after market pioneer model like the Z140/Z150 which is sale for around $650/$850. Which has better performance to go for ?

I looked at the z150 very hard before deciding on the oem. In short this is what I liked about the z150

Bigger screen
GPS bells and whistles
App mode for smartphones
Xm radio ready

Hands down more features

Why I decided on oem

Easy installation
Kept functionality on stock USB and mic without jumping through hoops
Perfect fit on dash
Most importantly, the radio says Scion on radio itself and start up screen lol

^^ nailed it! ^^

Can someone with one of these new headunits attempt to play a AAC (.m4a) off USB stick to see if it will recognize and play it?

what did you end up buying?

How much is the nav for real?? Anyone confirmed?

yes, a ton of people have confirmed, including my self. just look at this:

http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=39071

head unit is currently $525

bespoke unit is $1244 (I have one for sale for $950).

you need the head unit AND the bespoke upgrade to enable NAv.

great.. thanks. Do you know the part# of the head unit with Navigation for the 10 series FR-S?

:thumbup:

the 10 series has two parts to the navigation

Touchscreen base radio pt546-00140

GPS module pt296-00140

I actually don't even have the car yet. I was just researching up on if I should have waited or not but still didn't get it yet.

Really trying to decide if I want a stick or auto..:mad0259:
