2017 Subaru BRZ Navigation?
Like the 2016 model, will both model trims come without the navigation?

I believe neither will come with navi. Even though the old system was laggy and not all that great, I'd rather have it over not having one at all. I know that we can use our phones but I'd rather not use up my data.
And this coming from a guy who doesn't want any frills. |

I have the 2013 and to be honest the OEM navigation is really not that bad..have use it up and down the east coast. It was a nice standard feature and too bad it was discontinued.

I'm really surprised they completely removed this. I figured they would at least add Android Auto to replace it. I can only hope that they offer some sort of future update/upgrade for Android Auto for us.

Then I switched to a 2016 BRZ and for the US model, they took away Navi and gave us the backup camera. I thought at first, I would much rather have the backup camera, as it's something I can use everyday. And it's great. But oddly enough I do miss having the navi. Yeah I use my phone instead for navigation, and in some ways that's better (traffic reporting and rerouting via Waze or Google Maps), but I miss having the larger navi screen. Would be great if the Starlink system allowed you to mirror your phone to the screen, but it won't do that. It won't even pull in the navi voice directions from your phone to the stereo system. Here's hoping the newer models will have better features, but I'm not that optimistic.

As for Nav out of country it may not fit your "no roaming" requirements. In order to use Waze i need to hotspot my phone to it. Now it does come with it's own GPS antenna so maybe theres a map app out there that doesnt require a data connection in order to do things like reroute or search for routes. However i'm a big fan of Waze so i use my data for that. |

I believe the 2017 BRZ will have Android Auto and Apple Carplay.

I hope so. I don't know who programmed the Subaru nav system, but it is absolutely horrific. I choose to use my phone instead of the nav because the directions it gives are trash. It just loves hitting every neighborhood side street for absolutely no reason whatsoever.

This icon. Is present on the right thumb area of the steering wheel. On the Apple Carplay website the 2017 Impreza is listed as having the feature. Android Auto site stated that Subaru will have it in the near future. As I'm still happy with my BRZ I may opt to upgrade to this 200mm wide double DIN. |

So what year exactly did the onboard nav stop? 2015? They added the backup camera in 2016 right? So basically you can get one or the other, but not both.
