Pioneer Audio Upgrade?

I tried doing a search and didn't have any luck. But I could have sworn there was a review on the Pioneer Audio upgrade done for the Fr-s.

I have an HTC android phone and was wondering how my music would integrate with this system?

Any video reviews on this?

Do you mean via BlueTooth?

It would just stream off of the store/play/music app on your phone. Setup is quick and easy.

Was this with the standard system? I know it has blue tooth but I am also curious if I can stream Pandora through my Android powered phone. I am not getting BeSpoke.

Yes, I have the standard stereo. From what I have heard the bespoke basically has all the same features as the standard HU but with touch interface, screen and Nav.

That's not the base headunit, so most likely yes. I have the stock headunit and I stream pandora every time I drive through a bluetooth connection. It works very well for me, stopping and starting when I get a phone call, or even if I check the radio (for a sports score).

What throws me off is that some of the posts on the forums claimed the BeSpoke is around 800$

Isn't BeSpoke catered only to iPhones or something?

It's currently only for iphones, but it will get an app for android phones at a later date. A first 86er had it briefly before they swapped it out for him and gave it the thumbs down. Really, the stock radio is great. If you really need nav use your phone, or spend half that ammount for a premium aftermarket headunit that isn't limited by your phone (bespoke is).

I don't think the BeSpoke is worth it. Get the standard head unit and buy aftermarket in a few months. The stock head unit is not that bad. Does the job. I use my phone for navigation, and just stream Pandora or music from the phone. This way when my phone's navigation talks, the music will go quiet so I can hear the direction and pick right back up.

That is not the bespoke unit. Thr is the pioneer premium headunit.
Essentially what the "bespoke" replaced.

They look the same, bespoke has smart phone integration. This headunit is now discontinued I believe.

As stated above, this is not the BeSpoke unit. However, Cananda is not getting the BeSpoke unit. They are getting the above "Premium Pioneer" head unit for something about half of the price of the BeSpoke upgrade. I for one, would take this unit over both the stock unit and the BeSpoke unit as it has all the features I want and none of the "Cloud Nav" and other iPhone-only features. I have an Android and limited data plan, so no, I don't want to use my phone for my car radio.

The stock Pioneer unit for the USA is 300 watts, with streaming bluetooth. The Bespoke unit for USA does not have nav.

I'm also pretty sure that Pandora is not available in Canada...
