What I'm lookimg for.... - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Hotrodheart · 12-25-2016, 12:41 AM

I have a 2013 FR-S with the standard audio unit.

What I'd like to find: a unit that incorporates Bluetooth that works with my phone, navigation, a back-up camera, USB, and a CD player (I still have lotsa CDs). Hopefully, it'll look like it belongs there, visually speaking.

Any help would be much appreciated.

If you have a windows based computer you can eliminate the CD option as you can rip your CD's to the PC then transfer to a flashdrive for the USB port. Also you can copy YouTube video music minus the video part (just music) to a flashdrive as well---this works with chromebooks as well!

Pretty sure any of the OEM head units with nav will have all of those features. My 2015 BRZ Limited headunit can do all that you listed.

Just put a WTB request on the forums here and see what offers you get?

you might need to search the web for a BeSpoke headunit for the FR-S.

some people like it old fashioned. like a hard copy book instead of digital. also he might not want to his time out to go and rip all those cd's

Crutchfield.com is a good resourse. You can call them and actually talk to someone who can tell you what they sell that will work and fit in your car. They have a huge database, and their prices are reasonable. I bought a new head unit for my Chrysler Crossfire from them. They sent instructions and all the necessary cables. Good luck!

Have you checked out any of the android head units? Seems to fit your criteria. Like the Toyota version ones from Joying or Ca-fi.
