Ipod connectivity is alright but when I try to charge my phone with it, it's god awful. It will not charge my phone at all. Really dissapointed with the radio for this car and I will be making a custom setup including headunit and speakers. Not to mention the door rattles when "bass" hits and makes it sound like you have a blown bass speaker.

Car drives AMAZING tho

I'm not an audiophile so the sound quality doesn't bother me much, but the controls are so terrible and slow that I just use an Aux cable for my iPod instead of the USB connection. Otherwise by the time I find the album or playlist I want to play I would've already made it to my destination haha.

I don't have any issues with my door rattling yet. Haven't done any long highway drives though so maybe when I have to crank the volume up some it will pop up

Don't use the bluetooth if you are planning to jam out. The sound quality is alot better via usb. And use a high quality audio source.

The major rattles come from the window switches on both doors. Jam some electrical tape or a quarter between the door and the switch to get rid of the rattle. There will still be some rattle in the doors at certain frequencies.. but its loud enough for me.

i have a 2014, not sure if the 2013 had different speakers.

What kind of stereo do they put in the scoobies? My FRS has a Pioneer. Sounds pretty good to me. Its an HD stereo with bt. Does FRS have amps in the trunk? Hmmm I never really looked in it lol, I've only had it a week.

I'm 6-1 and I was concerned about the space myself. I have a lot of space to stretch out in the FRS

Seems so common, never saw this on mine though. I swapped woofers and a better amp as well.

What the 14s have that the 13s didn't is the pads around the speakers. That extra deadening makes a huge difference.

No amp or sub, in my car at least in the spare tire area when you lift the floor of the trunk there's an electronic box in the upper left hand corner that may be some sort of amp?

That is the amplifier for the door speakers.

In case you guys haven't tried... Do this to your BRZ Audio... makes a world of a difference and takes 2 minutes, no mod necessary...
