yeah wow more and more little things the brz has.....

MmmHamSandwich · 05-20-2012, 01:01 PM

Well, now that we've seen how mediocre the navi is, we had to be getting something aside from HID's for $1400 more.

AFAIK only the BRZ has the gauge sweep option.. which will be turned off in my car.

FRS has gauge sweep. It sweeps to the SHIFT LIGHT POSITION (at least on the auto, anyhow...) and then zeros itself.

Mind you, the night this was recorded, I worked from 8am til Peking's First 86 delivery event was over AND we kicked it in our parking lot for a bit and chatted with Moto, SteHo that flew in from Scion Canada, Rex from Edmunds, Young from Five Axis, Ryan from Club Lexus and our awesome Corporate Rep. Tiger. It was a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG day (this was recorded at about midnight...). So please let my random pauses and brain-farts slide

Two things:

1 - Im an idiot, I was able to get the gear indicator activated

2 - Indeed, the FR-S does not have the full gauge sweep. I wonder if there is a way to "port" that over from the BRZ. Im a dork and I love that feature.

Wait, so it will sweep to the shift light setting everytime you start it?

Then you can just set it to 7400 and have basically a full sweep!

Kinda-sorta.

It pauses for a second where ever you set the shift light. So its not a fluid sweep. Its up-pause-down.

Actually scions implementation is ever slightly more useful. At least it tells you something. The Subaru version is pointless

Sport-Tech · 05-21-2012, 09:04 AM

Love that feature - reminds you of where you have the shift point set.

This is true!

Minus 5 points for Slytheri-- I mean, Subaru!

Hahahahaha. I've just been told that the cars will begin arriving on Memorial Day. I'll verify on Tuesday (since I'm off this weekend)

Our 2 employees that ordered back in December are ecstatic... less the fact that they both went the same direction (Manual Whiteout)
