My concern would be how the Jimny king pins and cv joints set up would stand up to sand blasting as they are not well sealed.


Valid point, i'm sure there is a way to seal the CV and pins better. It's brand new car, i'll make sure to benefit from the 100k or 3 years warranty.

I need to go to few offroad shops and get there opinion. Cars like the Jeep/FJ LC/Nissan Patrol. They unplug the TRC fuse and install a breaker. I looked at the fuse box for the Jimny, there isn't a fuse for the traction control. As far as i'm aware, there isn't a company who cracked the Jimny ECU. Even shops like F performance in Dubai who did the turbo 1.5 Jimny 2019. Did it on standalone computer like Syvecs which is expensive.
I'll pass by few shop and see what can be done. but if i narrow down how to disable tracation by unplugging random bit that will help as a switch can be fitted to connect and disconnect the connection to the plug.

I'd like to share few photos i got for a screen i ordered from China to replace the factory radio. My car has no screen
Once i install it i will get more photos. It is a 9 inch andriod screen. which is bigger than the factory 7 inch screen but it doesn't have a CD player which is okay for me.

Installed the screen and reverse camera. It's running 8.1 Andriod and has carplay as well.

Works flawlessly on factory USB and steering wheel control. I love the Jimny logo at the top looks like it came from factory like this.




There was 40A fuse if disconnected turns off traction control/ABS, i'll wire in a switch to have this feature on the go when i'm offroading in the sand dunes.

That looks great; I’m looking to do the same with my base model. Any chance you could post up links to the screen and camera please? Do you need any adapters, and does the screen require a surround or does it just fit?
Thanks

The screen just fits and comes with everything needed. I think for the camera any aftermarket camera can be fitted. For the steering wheel controls you will need to use an app within the screen to sync the control with the new screen. It doesn't use can-bus connection.

It can be purchased thru aliexpress. i got it thru

www.astral-elec.com/2019-suzuki-jimny-in...adio-for-suzuki.html

Few things to keep in mind. It will fit the Jimny that comes without a screen from factory. Also for carplay you need to specify and pay additional 20$ or something like this.

Thanks for the info, that's really helpful. I will definitely be replacing the CD/radio asap with a screen and car play.

Any idea how the existing stereo is removed as I can't see any screws/clips?

Thanks

Remove the plastic trim underneath the screen with plastic trim remover tool. You will see two screws that holds the Radio/CD. After removing the two screws try to pray on Radio/CD unit and it will pop off as it's held by clips.

Few comments on the Operating system. It does kick you off playstore and carplay sometimes. Annoying to be frank but better than having no screen for sure.

I would say there are other options available in Japan in which you can buy a surronder/trim to fit other screens from Pioneers and Kenwood etc... depends which way each one want to go.

Thanks for the info. I had a look at double din units here in the UK today (Sony/Pioneer? - not cheap but worth it to have the added functionality.
