Anyone have ANY information on the model number or specs for this unit? I just picked up my 2012 xB with this unit, and the dealership did not include the manual as they had to take the unit out of another 2012.

However, my salesperson called Scion to order a replacement head unit for the xB they cannibalized, and the Scion sales agent told my salesperson that they were no longer selling the 2012 premium head unit.

I'm a little concerned - they seemed to JUST make that unit available, and suddenly they are possibly discontinuing it..

Just looking for information - I love the head unit, just worried now that there's either an issue with it or some other unknown causing them to stop selling it.

Thanks, all!

What do you want to know about it?

All I know is, is that the 2012MY headunits apparently have standard Blutooth capability. I would look for that feature to ensure it's a 2012 MY headunit.

i just bought my 2012 XB with the premium pioneer head unit. i have the manual.

If you want, i could scan the whole thing and send you a pdf. would that work?

lemme know.

can you guys post a pic of the headunit in your 2012, i was speaking with the salesperson at my local dealer and he made it sound like I couldnt get the pioneer premium. He kept showing me a different one but I didnt like it, just trying to clear it up.

If you go to www.scion.com and "Build Your xB", you will see that for 2012 the only audio systems are the Pioneer Standard Audio System and the Scion Navigation System 200. It wouldn't surprise me though if some dealerships are selling the former Premium Pioneer head unit in 2012 models just for the up-sell.

this is the one I am hoping to get, but I heard it was being delayed...

They must be waiting to add it to the Scion.com website until it is actually available.

wow that headunit looks real nice. if it fits the '10 model i would look into buying one.

Talked to a guy on Scion.com chat yesterday and he confirmed that it was still delayed, but that it will indeed be available. No ETA or MSRP but It looks like it will be a "good, better, best" type of scenario like before and that the unit I posted above will fall into the better slot.

I got my xB 3weeks ago with the Pioneer upgraded HU. it is too new to be outdated. the salesman hadn't even seen one yet.

It's a great unit. It can even receive A/V input for video. See the manual.

The factory website shows various instruction videos. There's one on this unit and it's worth watching.

Good luck!

Keevok

can you post a link to the page with the video? I've been looking but all I can find is the manual pdf. Thanks!!

I just picked my 2012 up last week and this is the Head Unit I have. It's very nice.

In the Scion website, under the xB section, select "Features and Specs." Then select "Interactive Features and Guides." In the middle of the screen, on the left of the panel you'll see Audio as an option. Select that and then go to the Pioneer Premium Audio selection and you're there. Below is a link I HOPE works, as the website is very Flash-rich and hard to navigate.

thanks a million!! i like that the video shows and IDs it at the Pioneer Premium but the link calls it Alpine premium...jeez.

Would a stock 2012 pioneer radio work in a 2009 XB as far as aux, Ipod, and steering wheel control as just a plug in play radio?

^^^Good question! I too would like to know the answer.

I would bet that it would work...toyota has used the same harnesses on radios for over a decade.

I think you may be right. I looked at the installation instructions at TRD Sparks and they show an included adapter harness that might make it work. Assuming that the main harness hasn't changed from 08-12. I suspect that there could still be some issues with the missing bluetooth mic and remote iPod interface.

I have a question about this model of stero. Can anyone else see their art work when they have their ipod plugged in? Because there is clearly a space (very large, in fact) on the display for it, but it's blank. I would really like it if I could get the art to show up, but I am clueless as to how. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
