i suspect you should be able to locate another toyota/subaru model that would at least fit to fill the gaps right, might even bolt up right.
Metra actually makes a dash kit for the gen 1 BRZ. I suspect that the bracket to actually hold the unit would be the same. The housing would be the problem, again though lol. I could check and look around but I'm unsure as of now.

I don't think finding something from another model would work though. Subaru's own cars and Toyota's own cars are wildly different in the head unit area vs. the BRZ.

But dash kits are also cheap enough that I could do it in an improvised way first and then do it the proper way once an updated kit is released.


I do have a question about the iDatalink Maestro RR2 though for anyone who knows -- do they get software updates to be compatible with new cars or are they actually revised hardware-wise?
