thanks for the pics.
I found that it is better because I can just leave the ipod in the glove box (I don't normally use my iphone as MP3 player)

Don't see any different than original antenna.
Anyway I only try FM radio (I usually just listen to MP3)

Couple things that I found out for the pioneer deck:

1. It DOES NOT display Chinese as song name, etc... I think only Mercedes deck can display both Traditional & Simplify Chinese characters
2. when the car is moving, you cannot input destination. The problem is this GPS has no voice input. I have to stop the car before I can input
3. The deck kind of support 'back up camera' function because it has that option in the setting. But where can we get the camera? I have no idea
4. For the bluetooth phone option, it CANNOT display the keypad option while you are on the call. Which means you need to use your phone for keypad input

This is really disappointing. As well as that microphone for the Canadian models.. I saw a youtube video of the American model and the microphone is located in a much better spot in a more appealing way...

Also the navigation deck is different

Here's the video: [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3lzXgGo9wNU&feature=BFa&list=HL1339898734"]2013 Subaru BRZ Limited In Depth Tour, Engine Sound, Exterior and Interior - YouTube[/ame]

Microphone bit @25 minutes

I actually got really lucky and took delivery on Thursday.

My awesome dealer (Anthony at Anthony's Suzuki Subaru) in Kelowna, BC really went the extra mile for me. He e-mailed me early in the morning to tell me the car was there and asked me when I wanted it. I told him as soon as possible. I think he was originally thinking Friday or Saturday but I had to work on the other side of the bridge both days so they rushed PDI (might've helped that the mechanic doing the PDI has a CBS on order himself!) and got it ready by mid-afternoon.

Everybody worked extra hard to get me in the car on Thursday so I have to thank all the staff there. While I was at work they got all the financing in order as well so even though I was running late they all stayed to make sure I got to drive it away that night.

Then right before I drove it away he asked to take a picture because he said the VP at Subaru Canada asked him to take one. Not sure if it will pop up anywhere. With any luck it won't. :P

And last but not least... Congrats Percy!
