WHAT DID YOU DO TO YOUR BRZ TODAY? - Page 398 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I'm quite liking it. It does make the stock system sound much nicer (but I can't wait till we put in the full system).

One issue that is annoying me is its ability to read playlists. I have a 1000+ track m3u playlist on the USB drive that from the PC side is fine, but the hu only sees it as barely over 300 tracks & the song list cuts off a 3rd of the way through, yet the hu sees all of my nearly 3k songs on the drive.

Also, mirrorlink can be a bit of a pain when first connecting. But after that works fine (if slow).

Pandora controls are excellent & visual quality & screen reaction speed are both impressive.

We'll have to see how well this truly does when hooked up to the 5ch amp via pre-outs.

Interesting. So I see that you have a Samsung S3, has that had any problems hooking up to the unit? I've seen other reviews where it apparently doesn't like to play with Samsung phones.

Forgot to post here. Got boosted over weekend by @Prime Motoring. Jackson Racing SC. Tune by JrTuned. KW V3 coilovers. Stoptech pads and rotors. ACT clutch and lightweight flywheel. Custom gauge pod made in house @Prime Motoring and button relocation. She made 264whp on mustang dyno tuned to 93 octane.

Why not? But have you tried through your local dealer? It's a Subaru part, after all.

I haven't been able to find any place that sells them outside of Europe to the U.S.. My local dealer isn't that capable or connected, concerning Subaru. I can get most non-USDM Scion FR-S parts for the GT-86 from my local Toyota dealer all day long, though. Researching the part number(s) for the BRZ floor mats online hasn't yielded any results that aren't European-exclusive dealerships. I haven't checked in months, though, so let me research again before I put my foot too far in mouth.

Thanks!

J505ECA110/LH = Blue BRZ Logo Mats for LHD

I can only find them in roughly translated German or Dutch dealers. I'd rather just PayPal a contact in Europe to buy them and ship them to me with a nice handling fee to make it worthwhile.

I'll get in touch with my dealer for a quotation. (He threw them in for free when I got the car.)

That would be beautiful! Yeah, lemme know if they'll ship from there or if you're willing to ship them to me for a fee. I appreciate it! You're very generous. You must surely not be American. haha I jokes, I jokes.

That is the most attractive/tasteful boost cluster ever. If I turbo I will have to hit them up for get that customed.
