Looks the same and on paper seems to have the same features, except no bespoke. Bespoke seems to be an app that let's your iphone work with the radio. Since there seems to be no android version, I say it's not much of a loss.

It's an ok radio for what it does, but I'm thinking about replacing it already. For the cost of the option ($500+), I don't think it's worth it at all.

The Bespoke system has a better screen overall. It also allows you to post to facebook and twitter (from what I've read online anyway).

That's really it though. It doesn't have to many more features when what the basic unit already has.

As Rob said, its not really worth it in my opinion. You can find a better aftermarket head unit elsewhere for about the same price as Besoke anyway.

To me, there isn't 1 thing which is a must have for Bespoke. So I decided to get the stock head unit when I ordered.

I wonder if that radio firmware can be updated? One issue I have with mine is that it won't import the contacts from my android phone (SGS2 with stock ICS). It makes the connection, but fails after 5-10 seconds.

^^^ I have the same issue with my phone and Bespoke radio. Mind you that I own a Samsung Reclaim (please no laughing). It recognizes the phone, it then makes the connection and within 10 seconds fails. I receive a "transfer failed" error message. It also repeatedly reboots/turns on and off my phone. I called Scion and they know nothing of this and they mentioned that this is a I-Phone 4 or 4S phone radio. What the F?
