This is how the wonderful (sarcasm) dealership folks explained it to me. Come in buy a new FR-S and we will upgrade your stock radio to the touchscreen base radio for $239.

pretty sure its upgrade price. The previous stock pioneer HU MSRP for about 450. I Doubt this new one with a touchscreen would be cheaper.

lol... here's the price for the display unit, not exactly $298. i'm MORE than happy to have gotten the HU for $525

Wow that looks way better than what the FRS has now, one of the reasons I got BRZ is the touch screen HU. My only gripe with it is I wish it had that track seek button that this one has. No steering control and having the look at the LCD to skip track is slightly annoying.

is the new base hu price come with the nav module already installed?
Im on the stock FRS unit right now and even if it was an upgrade price, id still be willing to swap. been looking for a cheap hu with navi and bluetooth

newports · 06-25-2013, 08:41 PM

Yeah does anyone know if this touchscreen upgrade will come with navigation as standard?

This will save so much headache for choosing a good aftermarket unit especially since this will be plug n play if I'm not wrong.

here's the deal as best I understand it. the new FRS will come with JUST the touch screen head unit. nav and bespoke/aha will be a $1200 update. judging by the price point that toyota is selling these things for (basically same setup) I'm guessing the $2200 price tag is the head unit PLUS the nav module. that would make sense as the nav module should be about $1200 and the $525 price we're getting the head units for right now is about HALF of what it should be $1000. add the two and you get $2200.

Hmm....if I ordered a '13 model and ordered the touchscreen head unit along with the car would it be $1200(for the navi update) or $1500 in total(since price of upgrade to touchscreen is $239 on the site)

I went to the dealership today and they knew something about the a new HU with GPS but couldn't even find it on the website so I just continued checking out the car. I knew more about the car then they did. I was frustrated as hell lol

$239 for touchscreen upgrade and $1200 for gps. Deal with salesperson to meet you halfway on cost of upgrades.

i have NO IDEA what that $293 price is all about. clearly its not a head unit price because the head unit is going to be about $1200 by itself with NO nav. ask the OP where that picture came from saying its $293

Yeah I didn't really understand the pricing either but...

It's on the scion site.

jacobzking · 06-26-2013, 01:33 AM

ok, so its pretty clear that if you buy a new scion, you can upgrade the old base unit to this one as a dealer installed option. but if you've already taken delivery of your car, you're sorta SOL since the dealer wont take your "used" base model head unit back. then after spending $293 on the head unit, you can add nav for an additional $1005

newports · 06-26-2013, 01:47 AM

Cool cool. Got it now.

1244 from factory ain't too bad. That's without the discounts.
