Anyone still holding out for BeSpoke?

How responsive is it? Like what's the lag time between touching a button till it reacts on the screen

The BeSpoke was already installed on mine. If I had a choice, I would've just bought an aftermarket head unit and changed the speakers.

The response time is very good in my opinion. It's great!

If I hook my phone up and launch the BeSpoke app, it shows navigation on my screen. I haven't messed with it much, because I can't listen to my music, and have the BeSpoke app up at the same time, but I am not sure if that is something I am missing or not. Haven't played around with it.

theres a thread / diy about how to hook up an aftermarket HU to the oem usb / aux plugs, seems like some who did it used various pioneer units. meaning they still had to splice wires and stuff to get the OEM usb to work.

im starting to get irritated with how sad the signal is, it takes awhile to get the max signal and once it does the sound gets better.. deeper bass and sound clarity is awesome but you have to wait for it though, it comes in and out.

When my girlfriend ordered hers, we made sure they took that bespoke out. No reason to pay $800+ for something I am going to replace anyway.

I have a Kenwood H/U with nav, kicker amp, and JL sub waiting to go in.. just have to see if I like the stock door speakers or replace them if needed.

That's not the quality of the Head Unit, it's the HD radio feature. I have had several Head Unit's in the past with HD radio and all of them did this. When you tune in a channel you get standard FM for the first 5 seconds or so until the digital broadcast comes through, it's normal.

FR-S with the base factory stereo still has bluetooth, USB & AUX connections! You do not need the Bespoke for AUX input.

I have the Bespoke head unit. Its a great head unit - best Iphone audio controls of any head unit I have had. Nice audio quality. The Bespoke app and the "looks like Nav but isn't" - Those I don't really care for.

I think the Eclipse AVN726E in my wife's Sienna is a waaaay better unit for the same money - I do wish they would have used that instead.

Also the Bespoke unit doesn't have a normal AUX connection - only USB. The thing that looks like an AUX jack is the video input.

You know I have to say that I actually like the Bespoke. Orginally I wasnt even gonna get it. But, When the dealer had one exactly how I wanted it aside from having bespoke, I said meh fine its like 800 difference.

Anyway, I like the interface it has everything I need aside from the fake ass aux that only works with apple devices. The HD works well for the stations that have it the pandora control is excellent and the "nav" is alright when you figure it out.

I wont comment on audio quality as 99.9% of stock cars I find to sound like garbage. But ill have it ran through a Bit.one so sq wont be a problem.

I would reccomend this unit to anyone with a compatible Idevice or maybe droids if they ever make it compatible(tho BT works great for pandora on a droid). If you like they layout and controls I would just throw on a JBL MS8 and you will have a nice sounding system.
