Not that I'm aware of, I'm still waiting on my 2015. :/
I haven't heard/read anything about the air pressure sensors though..
Could have gotten a 2014, but the difference was $2500

Just got the info from my dealer. The Q. was 'if' I get 2015 series. The A. is 'YES'! List of changes 'announced by dealer' on phone conversation, yesterday. Hopefully @end of July will get it.
BTW no additional charges between 2014 and 2015 (obviously because already overpriced ;-] )

You guys aren't required to have TPMS in Canada? All standard down here for awhile now.

Yea glad no TPMS here so one less dash warning light staring at my face.

Apparently 2014 FRS in Canada has TPMS.

I thought you guys are also making reverse camera mandatory too for 2015.

It's nice for those that generally don't stay on top of keeping their tires inflated, but when you switch out your wheels, you either have to buy a new set of TPMS (~$250) or move your old ones over, which requires a reset by the installer. If you install a new set of wheels without TPMS on them, the light will always be illuminated on your dash (which can cause you to fail inspection in some states, but is also really annoying to see all the time).

Has it been confirmed the are active pressure sensors, or just rotational tracking via the antilock brake sensors which monitor mismatched rotation due to diameter change in low tire?

My 2013 FRS has pressure sensors. I know this because I have 1 set for each wheel set that I need to switch out every season. The ones that came with the car and the new ones.

The brochure only says "TPMS", with no information on the specifics. Maybe someone that's already taken delivery can chime in since we can't yet look at the 2015 owner's manual on Subaru's site.

My guess is that it'll still have the active pressure sensors though--that's what the new WRX has, and a change to the system hasn't been listed by Subaru in any of their press releases.

Anyone got any good dealer pricing yet? Heuberger Motors (Denver, CO) quoted me the following:

FZE 01 2015 BRZ Limited 6MT, Dark Gray Metallic, Homelink Mirror: $26,170, plus D&H ($389), your local taxes and registration. Shipping to San Antonio, TX: $650


Wondering if anyone else has found someone that can beat that, currently waiting on a quote locally.
