I took the plunge and just ordered a Reference 500Q system. Daniel was great to speak with, answering a slew of questions from me about the system, a possible head unit upgrade, the OEM+ company, and the particulars about my order. I'm sticking with my stock 2016 Starlink head unit for now as the only feature I'm mainly interested in is cordless Apple CarPlay. After hearing BRZ3N's system yesterday that is being run by the stock head unit, I know the audio quality is possible with the stock system, so I can live without CarPlay. I am so excited to get this system and install it, which should be a fun DIY project, too. And to top it off, OEM+ is offering a great discount right now - I saved $200 off my purchase! At some point in the future, I may upgrade to a 2018 BRZ head unit since it does have CarPlay, but I need to find out how well it can be integrated into my 2016 BRZ. Due to the larger screen, I know I'll need to change my dash trim/fascia, but I'm wondering about how the wiring will need to be changed, whether the integrated microphone, USB/Aux ports will still function, and any other issues. If anyone has info about that, please post it or point me to another thread if it's already been discussed. Other than that possible future project, I am really looking forward to installing the system.
