Disappointed to see that the HU model number has changed. I believe MY13 is FA601US. That speaks negatively to the prospect of having a firmware update to add Aha! to existing MY13 cars.

When are the 14 models supposed to be delivered?? Curious to know if they fix the dip. Hope you are well man..

2014 models are being delivered in Oct/Nov.

First '14 deliveries will happen in October most likely. It's what my dealership said about the '14 FR-S's as well.
And as far as the torque dip is concerned, most likely not. If it is, the fix will be given to '13s as well with a simple ECU update.

Can the torque dip be fixed with software? It seems like the dip fix would require more of a change in physical components (headers, cams, etc.).

^Huge threads on the torque dip. Search is your friend. Let's keep this thread ON topic (for a change).

Bill - 2014 BRZ Pricing / Ordering haven't even been made available yet so I wouldn't expect deliveries before the 4th Quarter (Oct-Dec).

Hopefully Subaru offers an Aha radio upgrade for the BRZ's like they are doing with the Legacy/Outback's. 2013 Legacy/Outback owners that do not have Aha radio can upgrade to the Aha Audio unit for $100.00 if they want to add it.

Isn't the headunit in the 2013 BRZ the same as the 2013 Legacy/Outback one?

But to answer your question any how its a combination of physical and ECU tune factors

Nope, the Legacy/Outback unit is completely different, it's sculpted into the dash, not a DIN unit.
