Suzuki Jimny upgrades, generation by generation.

The JB74 from 2018 on, most of them two-seat commercials, for a wireless adapter or the 2020–2024 Android screen kit and a rear-door camera. The older JB43 comes in for an Android screen through the single-DIN slot, because the factory radio has no screen and often no Bluetooth.

No, it just decides where the camera sits. On both the JB43 and the JB74 the camera goes on the rear door beside the number plate, below the spare wheel, and the cable runs through the door loom so it keeps working as the door swings. The view clears the spare and the picture comes up on the Android screen or the SLDA unit when you select reverse.

JB43 — 1998–2018 (three-door, soft-top and commercial): Single-DIN factory radio without a screen; Bluetooth on some later cars. JB74 — 2018 on (three-door passenger 2019–2020, two-seat commercial from 2021): 7-inch SLDA touchscreen with CarPlay and Android Auto on most cars; some vans and SZ4 cars have a radio without a screen. Not sure? Send the reg on WhatsApp and we tell you the generation and the route.

Car radio: Android screen through the single-DIN slot on the JB43, the 2020–2024 kit on the JB74. CarPlay: Android screen on the JB43, wireless adapter or Android screen on the JB74. Reversing camera: Rear-door camera routed past the spare wheel, on the Android screen or the SLDA input. Ambient lighting: Ambient LED strips in the cab doors and dash, colour from your phone. Speakers: Plug-in door speakers and tweeters, factory head unit and amplifier kept, no cutting. Parking sensors: A rear-only kit of four bumper sensors with an audible warning, no screen display. Dash cam: Hardwired from the fuse box with parking mode and a low-voltage cut-off, cables hidden. Subwoofer: Under-seat subwoofer with its own amplifier, nothing in the load area. Soundproofing: Cab doors, floor and bulkhead treated; load area on request.

Car radio: two to three hours, usually the same day. CarPlay: under an hour for activation, two to four hours for a box or a screen. Reversing camera: two to three hours. Ambient lighting: two to four hours. Most Jimny owners wait at the workshop or drop the car in the morning and collect it the same day.

JB43: the Single-DIN factory radio without a screen; Bluetooth on some later cars stays and we add to it. JB74: the 7-inch SLDA touchscreen with CarPlay and Android Auto on most cars; some vans and SZ4 cars have a radio without a screen stays and we add to it. Steering-wheel buttons, factory amplifiers and cameras are carried over on every route; the only route that changes what you see is an Android screen, and even then the controls are kept.
