I have the OEM Audio Plus and music from my iPhone 6s is great through both Bluetooth and direct connect.

The stock speakers for the BRZ were soooo bad. I couldn't listen to music through them. It was a horrible experience.
@softgrip I seem to have found the problem.

I have push start as well.

When you start if you look at the clock it flashes on for an instant, then off, then on again indicating power is on for a moment, off for a moment, then fully on. Seems these modern head units don't like this on, off, on power and crash sometimes.

A friend in our car club had the same problem and solved it with a small circuit he made to delay boot up for 1.5s so the power wasn't interrupted.

I'm going back to the shop today and if they can't fix it I'm going to get him to install one of his circuits in for me. I'll let you know how I get on.

The more powerful battery you mention might work by leaving some residual power to the head unit so the power isn't interrupted.
