As expected it fully electrically works (of course all the steering controls work as its a Suzuki unit in a Suzuki)
As you can see the bezel is different on a per car type basis (Ignis. Vitara etc.). Therefore I had already anticipated getting a correct bezel. The interesting issue that I had not forseen is that the glass touch screen is NOT FIXED to the radio! It is "trapped" fitted between the bezel and the radio body. Therefore any new bezel has to trap the glass securely in the correct position.
I have a aftermarket Dual DIN bezel on its way and will have to see if it traps the glass correctly, I suspect it will not and will have to be "fettled" to fit, might need to find a friend with a 3D printer to create retainers to hold the glass in place (or carefully hacksaw the Ignis frame)
