I was looking to replace the hands free kit in my 2011 Jimny and have been told it’s cheaper to fit a new radio with Bluetooth etc.
Has anyone done this and your suggestions please.

I fitted an Android double DIN touch screen to my 2011 Jimny, that had quite a good Bluetooth hands free built in.
Or you can go single DIN stereo with Bluetooth, I have a one in the loft that I had on my other car until 4 years ago (Panasonic, Sony, Pioneer, I have forgotten which) that had hands free, DAB and iPod interface.

I don't find Bluetooth calling to be the be all and end all it's claimed to be. I just have my phone in a holder next to the stereo and use the speaker call function, works just as well though I hunt down squeaky clattering noises in my jimny so the phone speaker doesn't need to compete with the car too much.

Having now worked out (google) what double/single din means, I think I will go with double din and hopefully one who’s Bluetooth works.
Thanks bryn
