I don't see it on the dash, wondering how I'm gonna power my radar now without having to buy the direct cord.

I plan on pluging mine in the cigarette lighter unless that's something else in the center console.

here's a pic... I had to search for it for a while. Hopefully the cord will be long enough to hang off the side and not get in the way of anything on the way to the dash.

Shit, I just noticed that.

Even though it's kind of a novelty, I am probably going to order that from Japan, because it was damn cool.

I'll be at the CES show tomorrow morning.

It is going to be a big convention, and i'll have to ask around which building the BRZ will be in.

I'll sit in it..and enjoy it

Be sure to bring enough tissues if you're going to enjoy it too much.

Don't forget to see if you can fit one of those crazy 85" 4K TVs in it. That's why the seats fold down, right?

I am looking forward to see how it fits me and how heavy the clutch pedal is.

Here's a review of the radio from CES via engadget:

Quote:
Aha Radio announced this week that it'll be an optional extra in 2013 Subaru and Honda autos. Vehicles so equipped will have the ability to listen to thousands of web radio stations and apps -- like Slacker and MOG -- alongside the regular AM / FM and satellite radio rotation. A short jaunt from our trailer at CES, we grabbed a quick demo with a Subaru representative aboard the 2013 BRZ.

Just like using Aha without the car, you'll need an iOS or Android device outfitted with the app, which uses that device's data connection to stream those audial bits. Once connected over USB or Bluetooth, however, the updated app now allows all of that content -- including stations you've previously pre-selected as favorites -- to be accessible via vehicle's built-in infotainment system. Setup was a breeze, but the only caveat is that data connection, which par for the course for CES, wouldn't play ball. Still, for the brief time we were able to connect, we streamed NPR and found the UI certainly workable. And before you ponder the ramifications of futzing with a touchscreen while driving, know that it's accessible via controls mounted on the steering wheel. This makes for a somewhat safer media selection-option as you cruise up and down the Vegas strip. A couple shots of it in action await below, followed by a video after the break.

And premium still sounds like the car I'd choose. With some options.
The only question remains, is it if you can get said options... *grumbles*

that and if the price is low... lol

And for a radar detector hard wiring it makes a ton more sense IMO. You can run the wiring so it's much more hidden and it stays out of the way. I hate having wires running in front of the dash, it just annoys me.

For everything else, use the one in the center console. They won't sell a car without a 12v outlet. Or use the USB to charge your phone (I won't argue about it's location, I hate that location. I'd greatly prefer it to be hidden in a center console)
I have multiple cars, it's just easier to switch between cars.
But it looks like I might have to hard wire it.
URG! Just want a car I don't have to mod anything, tired of it now.

Actually, the radar does make me not speed as much. I'm more aware of how fast I'm going with it than without.

seriously lame. these corporate types kinda piss me off. if anything at all these guys come off as completely academic in their demeanor(not real car guys). the car is already out of the bag for crying out loud, stop making everything out to be some big secret it's really not.
