If only Toyota and Subaru had put FT86_Zero in charge of their pre-orders, things would have gone much smoother.

Install was easy, took less than 5 minutes. I'm over 6 foot so getting it straight was not a problem.

As for the signal - I haven't been out of my garage yet. The radio still works but TBH the signal is slightly reduced - I'm picking up a bit of static on Nova that I didn't before. Tried a couple of other stations - some had no static, one other had a bit. I live in a weak signal area though, so for the most part I'm sure it should be ok.
Will be interesting to see how the GPS is.

Good to know, hopefully there is no effect on GPS... Please keep us updated mate! Thanks!

How's the paint? Is it matched to color of your car, (look all good)

As soon as I pull out of my garage, radio signal is all good - static was gone.

GPS seemed fine for the 5 mins I took running to the shop and back.

The colour is good - its probably not 100% perfect but you will even get slight differences between cars. If you didn't know you would think it was OEM.

Hi Guys, I just received my ones! I will post some pictures tonight.

But now I am wondering what kind of material is used for those cars innitially have the fin, like the BMW, same material?

FT86_Zero · 07-23-2012, 03:06 AM

From BeatSonic:

About installation, here are links for your reference.

How to install(Japanese only), sorry we have only this version.

Some pictures from Beat-Sonic USA.

For those who have receied items, have question mark about the value on the EMS form, but did not come to me.... Thank you. lol

Yes, this is the thing I need to clarify, and I have discussed this with BeatSonic as well. You will see the value on your EMS form is 10 US$. Don't get confused. This is just the value they wrote it as. Just like you go to post a $100 stuff, you may only value it as $10. And from my understand, it will help the items easily import in Australia, and #$%^&(&^%#$%^&^ I believe some of you know this better than me.

I wish if I have made these much of money. But I did not. So, guys, please keep this in mind.

Finally, I don't know if Australia custom will charge on these items or not, and GST applied or not. let's see, then I can finalise the final cost.

Again, guys, thanks for your support.

Tobz · 07-23-2012, 04:41 AM

FYI - GST and import duty are only charged once the total cost, including postage, is above $1000 AUD per package.

So let beatsonic know he can safely put the actual value of the product on the custom form without issues. Main concern is if we put $10 on future forms, and any get damaged or missing, we cant claim the full cost, we can only claim 10 bucks.

And dont stress im sure none of us thought u were ripping us off, seems to be the way international dealers work

Just got home from work and found a nice shiny white Shark Fin waiting for me. =D
