Stock Nav swap from BRZ to FR-S & Five Axis trunk spoiler install on BRZ trunk?
 
Can it be done? If I happened to get an FR-S vs a BRZ, could it be possible to order a stock Nav unit from the BRZ and have it installed on an FR-S and would the Five Axis rear trunk spoiler be installable on a BRZ trunk? The nav unit seems like it would just be plug and play for an FR-S and the trunks on the 2 cars look exactly the same soo...?

skip the BRZ nav. The aftermarket will have better solutions that are cheaper and easier to install. It won't be plug and play because you'll need to get the different antenna base and run the wiring for it, I don't believe the FR-S has it. For your second question the trunks are identical so the spoiler will fit either car.

As you can see here the antenna base for the BRZ and FR-S is different so it looks like FR-S doesn't have the GPS antenna

They would both definitely work out.

Thanks for the reply. Yeah, I agree, I understand that an aftermarket nav unit would be much more beneficial, it's just that I am a stickler for keeping the interior of the car stock, so that's why I asked about the BRZ nav option. I know that the FR-S doesnt come stock with nav, so a BRZ swap was just a thought. But isn't the Bespoke unit in the FR-S able to support nav from your Iphone or something? As for the trunk spoiler, that's great to hear! cool.

The frs has an bispoke audio head unit that has navi & apps thou. It's an option that can be installed.. at least that's what I remember hearing.

To top it all off, its $900... Kind of ridiculous for a unit that doesnt have its own nav and doesnt support more than just iOS devices. It has top end pricing but mid-range features.
