Lightbulb 2014 Bespoke with AHA put into a 2013

I read before that the 2014 bespoke with AHA is totally able to be put into a 2013 scion TC. The only reason I want the 2014 is because it works with Android phones so I can get the full effect of the stereo.
What are your thoughts?

Of course they will fit in 13, all speakers wires etc are same
Just a different head unit which isn't even that much different.

I have a 13 with bespoke and I don't know what functionality your missing? I use Bluetooth 90% of time, and if I need to charge phone, it can either use pandora via cord or wireless or whatever; I don't use bespoke apps etc because that ____s stupid IMHO. I listen to music on phone, pandora, iTunes Radio. Unsure what other features your missing.. All can be done wired or Bluetooth.

If you're after navigation integrated into your headunit then look for an aftermarket headunit, that is what I did.

^+1

I went aftermarket for the better navigation and better sound. I have the oem audio+ setup, so not the best setup but far better than stock! Also color changed illumination to match changed gauge cluster, HVAC, etc. is a great bonus..

I am running a Kenwood HU that has built in Garmin maps. A lot better sound quality than OEM.

Hi Russian.. I assume it was not plug and play? (connectors)..And how was the sizing of the head unit to the dash opening?

Ive got a 2013 tc with a 2014 bespoke HU in my car. Only issue ive had is the USB port doesnt reapond to a connected device. It did with the stock unit. Other than that I love the stock look easy install and the GPS

Does the USB not respond at all? because Im reading that some people are having problems with that and others aren't.

Also, can the OEM bracket that comes with that radio be used to put in the '13?

Well I'm sure there has got be a work around to get the USB to work since it is Plug & Play and there is really no difference with the inside of the 2013 and 2014 tC. Did you get the Bespoke Module for navigation as well? I'm curious because I just bought the whole thing myself and should be getting it by tomorrow/saturday. I hope the USB works on mine when I install it..because my iPod Classic is my source of music 99% of the time lol...i dont use the bluetooth option often.. just for phone calls obviously.

The guy i purchased my headunit from said mine was out of a 2014 Scion FRS. So idk but i doubt that it has anything to do with why the USB wont work. but yes mine came with the navigation. Only thing is i think mine was damaged during shipping because the vol control on the unit does not work so i have to adjust the vol from my steering wheel which isnt really a problem i just wish it worked properly. I also wish it had RCA connections in the back of the unit for an Amp. I enjoyed my 12 inch sub when i had the OEM HU now i cant kinda sucks

Does your AUX input work?

Sucks about your sub... I was going to buy OEM Audio +instead, but I realized that i wouldn't be installing it till Spring/Summer so I might as well wait to purchase it until it gets warmer outside.

Also, where did you put GPS Antenna? Im sorry if I'm asking MAD questions...I just want to make sure when i get it tomorrow I won't run into any little problems. lol

I contacted Scion Customer Service (lol) and just waiting for a reply. It doesn't make sense to me why some people are having issues and others aren't. If its suppose to be plug and play, then everything is suppose to work...right? Hopefully they will give me a solid answer.

I just installed this into my 2013 tC and everything works...EXCEPT the USB port. AUX works fine...just no USB. Anybody have a fix for it? I use my iPod all the time but if I have to make the switch to Bluetooth on my iPhone (which I did sometimes anyway) then I guess so be it.
