NAV/STEREO

Which aftermarket nav/stereo combo would you pick for your FR-S/BRZ?

It's not specifically a nav, but I'm looking at the Pioneer AppRadio2

This!

It's not cheap but it looks to be a great option. I know it's on my upgrade list.

I looked it up. It's a piece of junk. Check out the reviews and what people say on youtube

Im thinking about replacing mine with a single din with nice DAC's and a relatively high power rating. I don't want to go crazy on sound, but dont care about NAV and want a good front stage.

I'm going with this and a full SQ stereo system.

I'll fill in the space under it with whatever gauges I need for a supercharger.

That sucks to hear... do you have any links to these negative reviews? As the cheapest capacitive touch screen head units on the market this is very disappointing.

amazon.com, youtube were the first ones I checked. I must admit I didn't dig any deeper. I may have also checked CNET. Check out the reviews, maybe the things people didn't like don't apply to what you want out of the unit.

Definately an awesome unit! I just put it's little brother (80PRS) in my ITR and it blows away the Kenwood Exc 995 that was in there with very little tuning effort on my part so far.

I am trying to stay away from amps and crap in the BRZ though.. we shall see how successful I am at that
