I found another thread on here about the USB already. Search google for Metra AX-TOYUSB and it should pop up as first result, it will give you a USB adapter but you lose AUX slot from what I understand.

I'm going to use the aftermarket mic, as the plugs are different and there isn't an adapter yet.

I ordered the USB adapter mentioned above and will install it when it comes in, but for now I'm using the aftermarket head unit USB and iPod interfaces.

I mounted the sat antenna under my shark fin antenna and get good reception. I just activated the sat radio tonight so I'll let you know if it has reception problems.

I just used the standard Metra kit with the 2 side pieces.

I actually used the wiring harness from my tC I traded in on the FR-S. it was still attached to the head unit and worked fine.

Oh, I guess I should mention my head unit is a JVC KW-AVX740. I'll post pics tomorrow.

Don't mind the questions at all. That's why we post stuff, to learn and help others learn.

Today I picked up my FR-S Ultramarine/Galaxy!

What a gorgeous and fun car to drive! Never had so much fun (coming from a Civic Si)..

Also just had to stop for the tribute photoshoot.. I got it directly from the showroom so it didn't even see any winter here.. right into my garage.

Today something big happened, I learned I made a solid call on this car. Permagrin..
