BeSpoke for Android

Does anyone know if this option is going to ever be available? I think its crazy that us Android users don't have the BeSpoke functionality.

Why anyone would give Scion $800 for that radio vs. giving Crutchfield that same $800 for a nav unit that smokes anything any factory installs is beyond me.

^^ convenience of having something factory installed > fiddling with it yourself

BeSpoke sucks and I take every survey Scion sends me just so I can complain about it.

Because it's harder to find one without BeSpoke, at least in my area.

Huh... Mine came with a card board poster where the radio would be. My dealer asks what radio you want installed when you buy the car. I went with the basic model and ripped it out a few days later

Same thing here. 2 surveys so far have my complaint. Some day I will have a Nexus 7 in it's place.

One more reason to get BRZ instead. Factory Nav unit works perfectly with Android phones.
