Sorry but I'm a girl....dumb with cars.
The ass that sold me my FR-S led me to believe that the navigation just needed to be "updated" to work. When I called to make the appointment for this, they told me it was going to cost $1200. GTFO! There HAS to be a way to just upgrade this myself. I'm pretty tech savvy so I can follow instructions and figure it out. I just don't know where to start or what to search for. What do I need?
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Please be kind...I'm sorry but I know nothing about this stuff. Thanks in advance! |

Sounds like you have the base head unit. To get navigation on the built in screen you have to have the upgraded head unit (option)OR put a aftermarket one in yourself.
But consider this...I have the base head unit as well and can get AUDIO (not visual, on screen turn by turn) navigation when i use the Bluetooth streaming and use my smartphone's navigation. It's a good compromise if you don't want to buy a aftermarket unit. As far as "upgrading" your BASE unit to get turn by turn navigation on the screen... I don't think that's possible and sounds like u were misled by the salesman. Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk |

What's being a chick have to do with anything?
I would personally go aftermarket. I've seen numerous complaints both on the "upgraded" unit as well as the standard. Probably cheaper to go aftermarket,anyways. |

Well the unit that is on the car has a button that says "map" and if i press it, it says "BeSpoke Premium Audio is not installed"
If there's a map button, shouldn't there be a way to be able to use the map? |

all you need is the nav module -NAV UNIT pt296-00140, and brackets or tape or something to secure the nav module to h/u..
look on ebay, or the classified section, sometimes you can get the nav box cheap if someone replaces the h/u.. i think i got mine for about $250 DIY - http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=39071

So what's the problem? do you have the factory Navi and it's not working properly? or so you have the base stereo w/o a navi screen? Isn't the base head unit just a few buttons while the navi unit an actual screen?
Edit: I have no idea what this bespoke thing is... I guess FRS has a navi-looking HU now? Look at your window sticker, if it says it should have navi, then it should have navi. Else, it doesn't have it.

Without paying the navi-up charge, the stock h/u is "nav ready" has map button, needs nav module installed..

This is what the unit looks like. This is the model number I guess? And this is what it says when I press the "map" button. |

mush has also provided a more suitable solution as well. These nav units kinda suck to begin with, but looks better than the BRZ one. Having an in-dash gps is nice, but the phone gos has far more utility. |

I've been using my phone with the bluetooth, but it seems like every time I'm just about to get lost, I get a phone call so the map is disabled temporarily. I HATE using my phone for Nav though. My old car had Nav so I'm used to the on-screen map and I hate using my phone for it. Just a personal preference.

dafuq?! That salesman was a real asshole! He basically told me they needed to put a chip in the stereo (the way i understood it, an SD card that contained the "upgrade" to make the Nav work) and that was it.
