Is it worth to pay $ for BeSpoke? - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

NO, get yourself a aftermarket unit, you won't go wrong

Keep your money. Hell if I could have opted out of getting the BRZ nav unit, and saved money I would have. There are so many better aftermarket solutions for these cars.

I got my BeSpoke for free, but I would've been disappointed if I paid for it.

i was looking for a stock one but came with mine so i was like eh ill just get it.. worth it ? no imo.. the stock is fine as long its bluetooth.. most smartphones now a days have nav... if the brz had a google nav it would be nice.. but yeah the be spoke app sucks too and the b spoke unit wont bind with my GS3 only my iphone but i think its due to having a custom rom on my GS3.. the phone part works great plus i have pandora radio hacked i get it for free

im sure you can get a nice one for half the price or less on amazon/ebay

That's because Bespoke is not available in Canada. It looks the same, but it's a Pioneer unit. Not sure exactly what features it's missing, but there are some.

Id like to know what's the difference. They are both pioneer.

Looks good but it really anywhere as neat as it looks haha its just not even close to worth it imo

Gixxersixxerman · 01-20-2013, 09:14 PM

I love my bespoke, I don't listen to the radio and just what's on my droid RAZR HD and thru pandora.. It connects automatically, and the calls are clear and perfect.. I haven't had a issue with connecting or calls. And the radio works perfect... That said, the base radio suppose to do the same.. My only gripe is no aux video input.. Every car I seen (2) lol had them in, and I checked the box when I built my own.. The price of it over the course of my loan added about 2$ to my payment, and I'm hoping helps resale when it's sold or traded..

I would not have waited just to get bespoke, but if its in there I wouldn't care.. I wouldn't go buy it off eBay or anything either.. There is better... Way better out there.. But I think it looks good and works great..

Here is the feature list for the BeSpoke.

The Canadian unit doesn't have the navteq navigation linking does it? Or Pandora radio?

Seems like all you get with the bespoke over the basic pioneer are 6 RCA 2.4V outputs instead of the 2 sub-level RCAs on the basic unit. Oh that plus the LCD screen. It doesn't even work with the iPhone 5 [yet].

On a slightly different note, having experienced retina on the iPhones and iPad 3+, I hope both OEM and aftermarket starts in bring out super high resolution units without having to resort to cheap android-based units from no name brand Chinese companies.

i regret it it. not worth the money at all. wish i hadnt got it and just bought an aftermarket unit.

Not just the $900, but also the money you get from selling the stock unit! That makes the BeSpoke even more of a silly option.

l0aded · 01-21-2013, 06:11 PM

AFAIK the stock one has bluetooth calling too. I don't think the BeSpoke gives any additional functionality and doesn't make anything sound better (no satelite radio still, I don't have an ipod). So no, I wish I could sell the one that came with mine but its way too much hassle.
