I've replaced the head unit on my SZ5 (process is the same for SZ4/LCV as I recently helped troubleshoot somones LCV install). With the appropriate fascia and wiring adapters, any double-DIN headunit will fit. I've got a Kenwood DMX9720XDS in mine, which includes wireless Android Auto and Apple Carplay.
To remove the current stereo, the small horizontal trim panel below the stereo comes off, just get you finger nails in behind the bottom of it and give it a tug. That exposes two screws which hold in the stereo. Unscrew those, then tug the stereo out and disconnect the wiring at the back. You'll need to unscrew the brackets from each side of the headunit in order to attach them to your new stereo.
The replacement fascia you'll need is: Connects2 CT23SZ21 - Suzuki Jimny 2018 onwards gloss black double din fascia
You'll need the following wiring adapters to re-use the steering wheel controls, FM and DAB antennas.
Connects2 CT27AA180 - Fakra to SMB DAB antenna adapter
Connects2 CTSSZ003.2 - Suzuki Swift/Ignis steering wheel control stalk interface adaptor
Connects2 CTMultilead.2
Connects2 CT27AA88 - Suzuki DIN antenna aerial adaptor
If you have a Suzuki OEM reversing camera, you'll also need. Connects2 CAM-SZ1-RT - Suzuki Swift/Ignis reverse camera retention interface
Simply a case of adding all the adapters to the existing wiring and then plumbing it into the rear of your choice of headunit. If you do go for an upgrade, make sure you watch the Connects2 install videos on YouTube, they have some important information regarding order of connection (if you connect things in the wrong sequence, your steering wheel controls won't work).
