5Hairpins Asphalt MT FR-S - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

5hairpins · 05-24-2012, 10:43 AM

Fortune shined on me last night. My Scion guy called me late last night to tell me he had one FR-S that arrived yesterday. Now, in my posession is an Asphalt MT FR-S with the Bespoke radio.

I am in LOVE!!!

More to follow. No project plan as of yet, got a different project car to eat up my cash.

Man does that car look fantastic. You must report what it is like to just drive around with and how much grip those tires really have. Congrats though!

I would love to hear your impressions of the Bespoke unit as I'm on the fence about it right now...a real life pic of it would be sweet too

Nice ride!

I will take some photos of the BeSpoke today and get them posted. Pretty easy to use but I have barely dug into the features. I have used both a USB thumbdrive and an ipod and both were good sound. The USB stick kinda stinks as it starts on the same song everytime.

I will have better pics Friday.

^^^Just from that shot it looks ten times better than the standard head unit. I know aftermarket units are cheaper than the Bespoke...but I like it when things are integrated at the factory or port...

CONGRATS!

Interested to hear your ongoing report about BeSpoke. It's a decent chunk of change. (I don't use an iPhone so that figures in to things a bit)

ZetaVI · 05-25-2012, 06:15 AM

Congrats! I'd also want to hear an in depth review about Bespoke.

5hairpins · 05-25-2012, 10:42 AM

I still haven't dug into it in depth, will do that this weekend. I will say the power/volume is kind of a PITA. Several times I have gone to hit a control and turned off the unit with my thumb. The phone sync to my android was simple but haven't tried a call yet. I am hoping the full Android support will come sooner rather than later. You do get an IPhone cable that uses both the 1/8in and usb connectons to the car.

More to follow!

A video of the Bespoke radio operation. I tried photos but the glare on the screen make them hard to see.

Let me know if there are specific questions and I will see what I can do.
