If they can make money on performing an update, you can count on it.

My dealership said that the option is available for ~$1000 to upgrade the firmware.

After playing around with the AHA app on my iPhone, I'm not so sure it's worth it.

I'll spend $1000 on a top-of-the-line aftermarket head unit, in that case. I hate the stock HU anyway.

I'll be willing to part with my 14' radio once I get my BRZ at the end of this year.

LOL stealerships at their finest.

I agree with the previous posters, with all the fellow enthusiasts around here I'm sure we'll find a DIY about Aha soon enough.

Sharing is caring; therefore pirating for the cause of sharing should also be known as a good deed.

To be honest this is a situation where pirating is a 100% ok from me. Your shitty head unit becomes decent with a software update and you won't give it out for at least a decent price. That's a load of bull.

^ For people that bought a model year younger car. I agree. I would see the difference if there would need to have a part replaced (IE the entire head unit). However, this is just software. I would even shell out a few hundred for it.
