We need to update this for the monogram series, it might be handy still for you.

Going by what I've heard around these forums the FR-S has the better head unit. Not the first edition stock head unit, the one that comes with the 2014 version and 10 series. It's more powerful (watts) and has navigation/aha optional add-on as well. Here's a video:

I'm not saying the BRZ head unit is terrible, just I've seen plenty of complaints about it as well as the first edition Scion, but most seem to love the 2014/10 Series one.
