It sucks...
Half the time (who am I kidding, practically every time) the starlink app doesn't connect.
Just look at the app reviews.
I gave up on it.

The rest of the unit functions decent enough though.

I never use the nav on my brz. It sucks so bad compared to my phone. I actually just swapped out the brz HU for the newer scion one. So nice to have a physical track up and down button.

I liked starlink when I played with it at the dealership but I don't have everyday experience with it. Seemed like something to look forward to.

Don't get me wrong, it's way better than the previous BRZ head unit.
The Pandora app almost always works without issue, just trying to do the "starlink" crap where it needs to connect to the app on your phone is where the issues arise.

For anyone with a Series.Blue.
Was there any issue with getting the manufacturer finance rates at 0.9%?
Just curious if finance departments are treating these limited edition cars as something not eligible for best financing.

Same here, same rate. Although 750 technically qualifies as "excellent." Stupid credit scores.
