Gen 4 replacement radio was created by Pspies

Hi

Has anyone successfully replaced the factory fitted radio in the Gen4 Jimny ?

With seamless integration with the steering controls and fit into the dash console?

Details would be appreciated. I’m desperate to replace this nasty thing.

Thanks
Peter

In South Africa it is the 1.5 GLX. Same as the UK SZ5 model if I am correct.

It has the 7” touch screen with Android Auto/Apple Car Play. Photo attached

Best place to start is a fitting plate (there's one on AliEpress) and then take your pick from top of the range Kenwood or Pioneer. With a few bits from Connect2 you'll have a working system in no time. Chris

I see you and your car are in South Africa, I am in Australia, we use similar software in the Infotainment System. This software is supplied by Maruti in India through your local Suzuki Dealer at no charge. Maruti are including other minor software/firmware adjustments to the car through these upgrades.
See: www.bigjimny.com/index.php/forum/6-jimny...ftware-update#228036
I would recommend staying with the original infotainment system and free upgrades until the warranty is out.

Please note this advice is not for the UK/Europe market as a different company supplies the upgrades in these markets.

Curious. But what is actually your problem with the factory unit? Seems to work fine to me.
