Unfortunately that radio is probably more functional than the poorly designed touchscreen we have here in the US. And probably 1/4th the cost.

I agree 10000% on that one!

@hernanBRZ what is the part number for that head unit? I would totally swap that with the USA version. Those buttons look very easy to read and reach.

I think we have a bingo here!

Not to mention that I'd rather have his than ours.

explains the behavior and overall sense of superiority most of the brz owners have on this forum. jk, but seriously they're the same car you people need to calm down.

Yeah... the radio is very basic, I think that it's the same head unit for almost everywhere in the world but the US and some limited version cars in some other countries.

that's right, I love the big volume knob and the radio stations numbered buttons.

I have no idea, let me look for that part number

GMU-BRZ · 07-05-2013, 11:57 AM

Revised badging? Putting Subaru badges on all the FRSs, because really... Why keep up this Scion charade?

I can't wait until Subaru makes a decision on the BRZ STi, I'm tired of waiting for the details to come out

Agreed. It looks like a variant on the Impreza/Forester Premium trim (6 speaker) unit.

bestwheelbase · 07-05-2013, 01:53 PM

@modifier that looks like another great option for those who dislike the touch-screens-in-everything approach. Any idea if it would work in the BRZ?

driftartist · 07-05-2013, 02:00 PM

everyone keeps talking about the stupid knee pads....are you all old and have crazy joint problems? have you had knee replacement surgery? 1st world problems in my opinion. i just drive the damn thing.

driftartist · 07-05-2013, 02:00 PM

now that you mention in the shifter knob gave me an unbearable callus on my palm....gotta trade in for an automatic now. /smdh

ihaskrayon · 07-05-2013, 02:02 PM

Meh, I never hit my knees on the side anyways. Didn't even notice the black plastic either. So it would be a waste of money for me to buy it now
