Says 2014 features are knee pads a radio and revised badging. I wonder if there are more.

what is revised badging

KelvinBRZ · 07-01-2013, 06:49 PM

Hmm I doubt it. They already corrected the mechanical errors like chirping and tail light condensation if I'm right. These features will carry over to the 2014 model. However.. I am curious to find out what "revised badging" is, and also if 2013 BRZ models can somehow get Aha features...

The new standard radio for Scion comes with Aha, wonder if its the same one. Would like some kneepads though.

Pretty sure chirping isn't fixed. Lots of claims of revised part numbers, but no clear result of chirping being gone. Unless I missed a recent post.

So true lol
I am interested in seeing the revised badging, whatever that means

Subaru uses the same radio head unit across many of their cars (i.e. the one in the BRZ). Engadget was already shown a working version of AHA radio on a 2013 BRZ head unit, so I assume the 14 model is the same unit with the software update. I would also assume 13 BRZ owners will be eligible to get AHA, but not sure if we have to pay.

My bet is that rebadging is Subaru getting rid of Subaru lettering across the back of the car.

I got the magazine but no idea what those mean except for the knee pads.

HeubergerMotors · 07-01-2013, 07:40 PM

Perhaps for the door there will be knee pads, I can email district if you want.

Beyer Subaru · 07-01-2013, 07:47 PM

Sick!! That will be so cool if they get the JDM knee pads!

strat61caster · 07-01-2013, 08:06 PM

I bet the badging change is on the front fenders where Toyota has the "86" badge while Subaru has that little chrome-y thing.

Or it's something dumb like font, color or size.

DSOmegaX · 07-01-2013, 08:26 PM

Rebadging is just to get rid of "SUBARU" lettering badge. JDM (and I believe EDM) cars do not have that badge anyway.

Beyer Subaru · 07-01-2013, 08:33 PM

If they were smart they would make them stickers. That would prolly save them loads in production costs. My badges were thrown at my Finance Mgr when I was doing my paperwork.
