I wonder if all the people saying the stereo sounds bad had incorrect car type settings in the unit.

Possibility. I would not have known.

Is it similar for the base (non premium) stereo?

Thanks for the replies. Seems we might be getting a different base stereo here then:

Interesting.. are the menus in arabic rather than english? perhaps language was an issue in choosing a different manufacturer there. What brand is it?

Thanks! that will help when i get mine.. but will also help me explain it to our customers who pick up their FR-S from us..

Now go throw in an 8 inch bazooka tube and be shocked at how good the stock stereo sounds!

Excited - will be tinkering around with that soon!
