Why xb? The head unit is okay but very unresponsive, Bluetooth is off and on and volume is very low. I got 3 month of sat radio for now. But I need a reliable Bluetooth connection. I tried doing the things that was listed on many forums with no luck. I have a samsung s6 edge, it would disconnect when the phone screen is off or when spotify is not present on the screen.

I am getting back what I paid in taxes which was around 1.4k so I reslly don't owe anything at all.

First impression . Brz feels alot more tighter than my frs. I bought both cars around similar miles, both had 1 owners and both were in perfect condition. The upgraded features are worth the extra money. The heated seats will do great in ohio weather. Autoclimate work miracles with a remote start. Headlight output is a ton better. Best of all NO CRICKETS yet. My frs had crickets the next day after being bought from the dealers.

There are a few cons: terrible headunit, terrible boomrang light output. (I can use @Acree diy but I'm worry about pulling it apart than wiring jt up) , sorta ugly spoiler, and dgm is not the best color but there was only 2 color choice here unless I travel 100+ miles. Only dgm and wrb were available. I might wrap it during next summer, either a outrageous color or some nice matte white. (Any suggestions?)

I will have a grand or 2 left over after the insurance claim. Getting some mods!

Current mods:
White side markers.
6k bulb.
Debadge.
K&n intake
(From my poor old frs)

Future mods:
Decent price exhaust (any suggestions? Would love an exhaust that doesn't have a loud drone when driving on the highway.)
Motul 300 tranny oil change. (Next month)
Headers (next summer)
Flex fuel kit ( paid $150 from friends frs)
Oft (getting a free one!!!!)
Feed myself decent quality food. (Sushi.... yum)
Decent quality noodles and pudding.
Any other mod suggestions for next summer?
Next year is my co-op year so yayy...

The boomerang from factory is not a DRL, it is a parking light. you can get the diode dynamics module to make it a DRL and it's ridiculously easy to hook up.

The headunit could be better, but it just takes a little bit of precision and getting use to.

i'm enjoying my resonated perrin exhaust, low key, but rips when you want it to.

I was thinking about invidia q300 or greddy evo 3. I can get those for around 400-500 easy. Perrin are about 1000ish or so which is a bit too pricey for little to no gains.

Perrin cbe has as much gain as those. Cbe, in general, won't really net you any hp to look forward to. I'm not sure where you are getting your prices from about I see $700 average for the two exhausts you picked out.

Why not xB? You're complaining about the stereo without fully navogating and exploring all options on it. Different vehicle settings changes the settings of the equalizer. I prefer the xB setting because I feel like the FRS setting is too low.

I've been using Spotify on Bluetooth radio since the day I've had the car with no issues at all. I've ridden in my friend's FRS/BRZ multiple times and none of us have this issue. Perhaps you should look into your phone or perhaps your service provider as the culprit.

Well for one thing he has a BRZ now so different HU.
I don't like the xB setting at all (sounds like you are in a cave) but managed to get perfectly acceptable (to me) sound just by playing with the settings for about half an hour.

The headunit works fine for my purposes. Plug in the auxiliary cord to the port and my phone, turn on music, and play. As Tcoat mentioned, I sat in the car for about 2 hours fiddling around with the settings with different genres I listen to.
