So I can only assume that she is due for production soon.
I have just added the Eclipse Sat Nav media centre with reversing camera as options.
I have read a few good reviews on the Eclipse does any BRZ owners have any feed back?..I think Fuddbutter liked thenEclipse and the alpine unit with camera.?..

It's not bad, there's a few things that I think are worth mentioning:
- Having the eclipse seems to mean that you don't get the USB connection in the center console. Although I haven't been in a brz with the normal radio to be able to say whether it has this connection or not in Australia.
- The loud 'bing' noise every time the sat-nav gives a direction can get pretty irritating, especially at low speeds. And I can't figure out any way to turn it down or off.
- I've had problems syncing my phones messages and at one point had to turn off my car to get rid of the onscreen message telling me I had a new message.
- The maps loaded onto mine were around a couple of years old (still shows the old route over the hill on the Western Highway)
- The head unit turns off and on again when starting the car.
- A lot of things are locked out while the handbrake's down - I know most cars do this but it's still frustrating.
Other than that I would prefer a volume dial to the buttons; would prefer to have speed camera warnings and would like to have an onscreen current speed (my speedo is out by around 4%).
Some of those might seem picky, but I'm coming from a $150 Tom Tom that had a lot of these features.
Overall everything else works pretty well, but I don't think it's worth the $1815 (fitted) that they're asking for and would definitely consider getting something fitted myself if I could go back.
Probably still better value than the cigarette lighter though.
