So...ummm... (trying not to mash my keyboard here). Just got a call from my dealership. I have some news for my fellow Canadians:
You know how we don't get that nice upgraded touchscreen with the option of navigation like the USA market? You know how we had to upgrade to the subpar audio option that the regular FR-S gets? Forget it. They have no more of the upgraded audio. The supplier stopped making them (months ago) and all current "stock" has been used up. So no more upgraded audio for ANY FR-S: including 10 series. That means my 10 Series will be coming with the... uh... rather unfortunate looking (not my cup of tea) stock audio. Very unimpressed right now. Was also told over the phone that the 2014 FR-S is getting a touch screen as standard audio, with a navigation upgrade as an available option. My dealer tried to pull strings and get one of these units ordered for my car and he was told "absolutely not." I'm really quite irritated and not sure how I am feeling about the car in general at this point. It as been one disappointment after another. I feel like if I take the car at this point, it's going to have so much bad mojo associated with it that I won't even enjoy driving it. Waiting on another call from the dealer tomorrow for an "aftermarket" audio option. Not sure if I will go this route... they always fit a little wonky and never look as slick as stock audio.

I don't know about that one. I have seen some pretty slick looking head units that work perfectly fine. You know the scion HU are made by pioneer right? Almost all the touch screen pioneer units fit right in.

Currently on "hold" with Scion Canada. The "hold" music is "Kung Fu Fighting" lol. Scion has awakened my inner bitch. Before the end of today: SOMEBODY WILL CRY.

In the very least, as I await a call from my dealer about this, I will be asking for money off, or telling them to order me a US one, or if they do come standard for 2014, money off & order me a 2014 when they come out in September and i'll drive around with it for a month or two with stock unit. Not getting the 6.1" like the US in first place was bullshit, now this, not acceptable. On another note, Scion Canada Facebook posted that the shiftknob was not a feature because driving enthusiasts like the feel of the stock knob better. Real driving enthusiasts like on this forum, replace the stock knob for aftermarket all the time. Its all bullshit at Scion Canada. |

Still hoping to not have to go aftermarket BUT... none of us are allowed to have the 2014MY audio. My dealership called corporate-- not happening. He can't order the part now ( to have it installed at a later date ) nor can he order it at a later date. I have no idea why. To piss me off? Perhaps. Shift knob. LMFAO. Yeaaaahhhh... I really believe they had a bunch of ppl drive with the solar illuminated shifter and they got their market feedback on that. What a bunch of freeze dried bull shit. Considering they ADVERTISED IT for the Canadian market then made it disappear makes me doubt that answer VERY MUCH.
