Which version in UAE? - Page 3 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Well the mat is supposed to fit the BRZ as it is BRZ specific. I hope that at 690dhs it fits perfectly !The Toyota and BRZ are exactly the same car. It is built in Japan by Subaru and is 90% a subaru.I check with Toyota re diffuser, it was not even priced yet but I expect the part to be available at some stage. I did not ask the salesman whether the subaru diffuser was the same (I expect so) but I'm sure if you ask, they will tell you.

Car arrived and I finalized the deal with Toyota Abu Dhabi. I will be able to get the car tomorrow. In the meantime I got this poster from the showroom.

I prefer the real thing! Don't forget to post the pictures

Got the car yesterday, went to Dubai today to rack up some mileage.

Do we have the Bluetooth enabled by default? I am trying to enable bluetooth on the headunit but it says Not Available.

Here is a picture of my OM 86

Yes we do. Mine was as simple as pairing the phone to the head unit.

I'll try again tomorrow. I'll post the outcome.

Maybe I'm the exception, but I find the headunit very confusing to use :S

Still trying to figure out how to pair my iPhone so that I can take calls. Any clues?

RevoG · 02-18-2013, 02:20 AM

On the BB Torch I had no problems. Synced up, phonebook showed, Caller name even appeared when I got a call. Have now changed to Z10 and the Sync is simple enough but can't access the phonebook and calls show number only, no names.

sh4d0w · 02-18-2013, 12:36 PM

Tested with Samsung S3, there seems to be a problem with pairing (showing Not Available) while the vehicle is moving. Once we are parked I tried again and it did work. Haven't tested paring again. Maybe its a safety feature preventing you to do anything while moving?

Another question, I tried going to car plus today to do the tint, but didn't push through as they said they aren't able to remove the center brake light and thus will cut the tint around it.

How was the tint done in your cars? Did they cut the tint film around the brake light?

RevoG · 02-18-2013, 01:41 PM

Mine done through dealer. Problem was they did it 4 times. Had to keep on redoing it as they kept on having bubbles on the tint. By the 3rd time the rear window was so smeared behind the brake light I had them take the rear apart and clean it. While the rear brake light was removed they installed the tint again without cutting. Looks much nicer imo.

Could you recommend an installer that can take the rear brake light for tinting purposes. As the 3M guys don't know how to remove it and I don't want them to experiment with the car.

RevoG · 02-19-2013, 02:47 AM

Just go the the dealer. I had mine done in Festival City but the labour to take it apart is the problem. Took a tch about two hours to remove it, then the installer did the tint, then back to the tech and another 2 hours to reinstall.

Don't know if anyone will take it apart for you, and you run the risk of them breaking it.
