There's a chance that the newer BRZ HUs are also supplying 12V power to that pin on their AM/FM socket. Can you check that with a voltmeter?

If that HU isn't, I think you'll find that you get even better reception (and less drop-outs, and pull in weaker stations) than what you're getting now if you add that wire.
Ya I misread my part number last night, but I think u are correct bc there is a localism station I could get before that I'm not now. Wouldn't hurt to add the pin even if does nothing. But idk part number for the harness pin to order off digi-key and what would you recommend I tap pin 9 into? Pin 8?

Unfortunately my voltmeter was stolen so I've been limited to a test light lately bc good voltmeters aren't from Walmart
