My low beams are aimed way too close to my car. I have to adjust them out. And yeah, those LEDs really shoot everywhere. It'd be no better than all the idiots throwing in HIDs into their halogen projectors without fixing the glare

Have you just adjusted the auto levelling switch for the low beams? It's beside the trunk-release and cluster lights. They won't be aimed so close to your car after this. Note that it isn't instantaneous, you have to give it a few seconds for it to change levels

The one with the numbers is the level adjuster, the dashed one is for the cluster.

Well after a lot of research and youtube videos, I finally found an exhaust and ordered it today. I decided to go with the Invidia Q300 with Titanium tips. I will post pics once I receive it and finish the install.

It has annoyed me that the other modes do not have a North indicator. Seems like a big oversight.

Going back to the BeSpoke/Nav unit, and the varying stories of it being no longer in production (more so in Canada than here in the US), just wondering if I need to call BS on my dealer. He ordered the car with the Nav unit per my request, showed me in black and white that he had done so, yet the car arrived a month ago with the standard touch-screen. Obviously I took the car (duh!), but then gave him my very best WTF Face, so he quickly inquired with whoever his Scion distribution contact was the next day and said it was "unavailable." I've obviously seen plenty of pics of peoples' 10-Series with the nav in it...so the question is, did Scion really run out of stock, or am I just dealing with a doofus?

I think what is happening is simply confusion over the old BeSpoke and the new one. The 2014 cars and the 10 Series cars are all supposed to come with the new "standard" touchscreen head unit. The old BeSpoke was a totally different head unit than the old standard head unit. The new BeSpoke/Nav upgrade is an add-on module for the new standard touchscreen head unit.

It seems like Canadian dealers just didn't get properly updated, so when customers ask about the BeSpoke upgrade, they don't know about the new add-on module version, and just see info on the old BeSpoke head unit which is discontinued.

Concur. LOTS of confusion. It took me 10 times of telling my dealer here in Miami that the base unit for the 10 Series is touch screen and then literally showing him pictures before he got the point. Once we were on the same page, he ordered the nav module. Then it never came. Then he said it's simply unavailable to order. Guess I'll just have to yell at Scion Corporate and have them set my dealer straight...again. Just wanted to be sure that the nav module is indeed still in production, and since our head units are the same as MY2014, no reason they shouldn't be.
