Thank you sir, I was confused

Thanks for all the info, very helpful.

I am definitely interested in learning more about the new head unit as you get more info.

You're probably thinking about the Impreza, which does have an option for the same Fujitsu Ten FA601US head unit as the BRZ.

Good, maybe this means it will be cheaper and easier to get a hold of the whole set of knee pads from a local dealer VS ordering from a Japan reseller.

Yeah, that'd be nice. I was expecting to see the same part number radio with a new firmware that has Aha!, but it's a new part number. I haven't seen any pics so who knows if they just modified the software and rolled the part number for the same hardware, or what's going on/

For the Legacy/Outback, is that a $100 upgrade at the time of purchase, or can you come in after you bought the car and have them do it? I haven't heard of that. I wonder if they are loading new software on existing units, or exchanging the HU? I'd assume for $100 it would be the former.

Anyone have pics of the pads yet?

I wouldn't mind having one on the door card forsure.

It's a $100 upgrade after you bought the car and includes an exchanged head unit.

Not sure exactly what they are changing, but I would guess they are removing the Subaru from the trunk as only the North American cars get that.
