Default Blu logic handsfree

I was snooping around some Scion web sites looking for tail lights and came across this

http://www.shop.myscionwarehouse.com...&productId=123

I did not know they had it available for the tc! Does anybody have it yet? How does it look installed?

ehh.. some generic bluetooth item that fits pretty much alot of cars.. definitely alot of toyotas..
well.. yeah... of course it can fit a tC... it's pretty much a universal thing..

the control thingamabob just goes into your switch panel..

honestly.. i don't like it.

Parrot makes much better performing stuff.. and the Pioneer avics use Parrot technology as well in their units afaik... so.. yea..

that's disappointing (switch location)...

id have to see an actual picture of it installed to really not like it. i decided to build my system around the stock radio and a rockford fosgate 3sixty so no bluetooth for me i suppose

how does a person spend money on an audio system to work around a stock deck?

the headunit is like the first thing that needs to go. surely before subs or components even come into the picture.

On negative side, its an expensive upgrade to get for just getting one piece of functionality. Secondly, yes, it's kind of annoying to listen to someone elses conversation over the car speakers.

On the positive side, at least for those who can't afford the option (or a new head unit) outright, this allows them to get it installed by the dealer at least.

Now if Scion would only release a hard drive based navi that plays dvd-r/rw that has this feature it would be nice. (and yes, I know aftermarket units do this already, but it would be nice)

why does scion need to spend the money to develop something like that when there are better things out there that are cheaper already?

that's what the pioneer avic f-series are for..
and that's why the RS6.0 xB has one from the factory...

and the SNS was pretty much Scion's answer to a navi system..
