The original radio from 2013-2015 in all BRZs was 200mm like this Pioneer unit.

In 2016, the US BRZ jumped to the Starlink head unit which is larger and trapezoidal in shape compared to the earlier unit. Therefore, you need to get a dashboard trim piece from either a 2016-2017 Canadian BRZ or a pre-2016 car from any market order to have a flush fit. The 2017 Canadian trim piece is preferred as it is a one-piece panel, and is wrapped in a leather matched to the seats, with red stitching.

The Canadian market BRZ kept the original style radio until 2017. It switched to the newer, CarPlay compatible unit in 2018 which came out for US market cars the same year.
