Press/Blog Release on FR-S Price (no BeSpoke Audio) - Page 3 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

It depends on what type of touch screen they are.

Bespoke is not standard. The basic bluetooth, USB enabled head unit shown on the website is what is standard.

I see that...I think scion screwed up...the BRZ is suppose to start at the same price and you get way more standard equipment...well Nav and HIDs.

I always though Scions were more bang for your buck....Maybe they will only charge $100 for the bespoke....

Jeez, that's an ugly stock deck. Maybe I should just pull the Pioneer P4100 I have in my car. I wonder if it'd fit - or if I'd need filllers to cover up the sides, that could get ugly fast.

The pioneer P4100 looks pimp!

I love it, it's one of the cleanest looking touch screen Dual-DIN's I've seen (at least at the time of purchase)

I've had it in my mazda3 for almost 3 years now - only thing is it doesn't support Bluetooth, so I plug my iPhone in directly via a Dock Connector cable.

It looks super clean when it's installed too. (not my car, mine is matte black instead of glossy for the stereo area)

I'm ok with BeSpoke not being standard equipment as long as I can upgrade to it as an option. I'm a tech geek and have always been intrigued by the ford sync technology. Glad to see the Japanese manufactures finally catching on to the tech needs of American's (except the old ones who despise technology and social networking).

Ive never truly understood bespoke therefore ive learned to live without. Tweets will either get me a ticket, or a shitty accident in dallas traffic.

I really enjoy my wife's Sync in her Flex. It's nice to be able to check the weather radar when traveling.

If its not standard, it better be cheap, because we already paying $25k...

Wait I checked, those are old pictures. Its still inconclusive if bespoke is standard or optional until we see all the options.

The blog just says 300 watt 8 speaker pioneer system...that could still mean bespoke.

The website has not update any of the specs either. So things are still in flux, but we got a base price.

alluringreality · 03-26-2012, 02:20 AM

Google returns items such as:
"the 2012 Scion tC now offers a powerful 300-watt Pioneer AM/FM/CD/HD/USB sound system with standard Bluetooth and HD Radio technology."

As others have guessed, personally I think it's reasonable that the FR-S and tC may share the same standard headunit. In that case, maybe the Bespoke is around a $500 option like the tC. At that sort of price you're in the ballpark of aftermarket stereos. Personally I prefer a cheap standard headunit, for the option to replace it with whatever I choose, rather than paying for the Subaru navigation. (Until Subaru announces pricing, I still figure the BRZ Premium invoice may be higher than Scion MSRP)

Not that inconclusive. It definately would have mentioned BeSpoke by name as well as the features. It's a Press Release after all, it's job is to get people excited about whatever is in it.

The photos Scion has shown as standard do not include it. Feature != standard.

I'll still be surprised if it arrives with it standard.

I agree that if it was intended to be included it likely would have been listed as "Pioneer Premium Audio System", similar to the other Scion cars.
