OEM Audio Plus; Worth it?

[husker741]

As the title states. Is it worth the $1,100 upgrade?

I saw that, but I'm wondering if its more beneficial to get aftermarket stuff. That seems pretty pricey. Would aftermarket speakers and subs void any warranty?

[Foobar]

No voiding any warranty unless they do something that can be proven detrimental to something else that breaks, and then it would simply be a declined warranty claim on whatever broke.

As to your question, is it more beneficial to get aftermarket stuff? Technically, this is aftermarket, but I hear what you're saying - the answer, unfortunately, is "It depends."

If you want a simple turnkey solution that sounds pretty good and plugs and plays, then yeah - the OEM Audio+ is worth it.

Will a custom job at $1100 be a better solution? It could be - depends on your priorities. A custom job will be tailored to your exact specifications. If you know exactly what you want and where you want it, then go custom. If you just want a good sounding system that plugs in with relative ease and you've got $1100 to spend on it, then this is a perfectly valid option.

For a turn key solution it sounds pretty solid. @MiniGuy has it install on his and I got to check it out. Only thing is I really don't like the oem hu at all and don't care enough about audio these days tho just switch to a aftermarket hu made the audio sound better imo

Mine is coming with the BeSpoke. I know a lot of people don't like it but I think it just looks a lot better than the stock hu. I think I'm gonna go with the OAP.

Bespoke ain't bad I just couldn't justify spending 700 on a hu that does have navi or backup cam in place.

The install and sub encloure is really clean.nk problems getting to the spare or anything I deff like the OAP just rather spend the money on other goodies

Yea I'm contemplating where I wanna spend my money first. Audio or exhaust? I already have the Beat-Sonic backup camera shipped.

I thinks so, aiming to get one.

[husker741]

I'm gonna put it off right now and go for the exhaust first. It sucks that there are so many things I wanna do to the car, but I'm going to college and need money for at least ramen noodles.

Yea I found it for 975. I just am gonna hold off for now. I figure that I can live with the stock stereo for right now, while I really want to make the exhaust sound better.

New question:

If I buy the OEM Plus 400 system and have the dealer install it before delivery, is it covered under my car's warranty because Scion supports it?

From their FAQ:

Does my factory warranty get affected by installing your product?

No. Factory Warranty is not effected if installation is followed according to OEM Audio Plus installation guidelines. All OEM Audio Plus components meet OEM specifications and include 3 year/36,000 mile warranty when installed by an Authorized Dealer. If you opt to DIY there is a 1 year warranty.
