New Gen 4 Jimny - upgrade of infotainment system advice please :-)

Hi everyone!! New here and due to take delivery of my new Gen 4 Jimny next week - very exciting!
This is all new to me - first time Jimny owner so just figuring out where I start with modifications! But pretty high up the list is getting the infotainment system updated.
I have an android so it would need to be compatible with that phone device and I am also considering a rear camera and/or sensor so questions are:
- recommendations of where to purchase the system and the best models
- if I should do the camera/sensor at the same time to connect everything together
I'm not sure I am skilled enough to fit myself so will likely get these fitted at the garage.
Thank you!
Amy

I swapped mine out and found it relatively straightforward, but have done a fair few swaps on older cars, so half knew what I was doing. Definitely get a professional to install if you're new to it.
Not sure I'd recommend my headunit (Kenwood DMX9720XDS) to most people, as it's expensive and not everyone likes the floating screen, although I specifically wanted one with a volume knob.

Can recommend www.dynamicsounds.co.uk/ as a supplier, decent prices and quick delivery.
Also don't forget to add rear speakers, the wiring is there for them, you just need the brackets and speakers.

Hi! Thank you so much for replying I really appreciate it.
Good shout on the rear speakers I hadn't realised there was wiring already there so makes sense to get it all done at the same time!

You can buy the rear brackets from the Big Jimny shop. The front speakers are crap so upgrade the front brackets as well.
