FAQ
Suzuki Vitara CarPlay: questions people ask.
Answers for Vitara owners. Something else? Message us on WhatsApp — we usually reply in under 5 minutes.
Ask on WhatsAppDoes my Suzuki Vitara have Android Auto as well as CarPlay?
On the 2015–2018 car it depends on the unit: the SLDA touchscreen on SZ-T and SZ5 had CarPlay from the start, and Android Auto arrived on most units from about 2017, so an early car may have one without the other. From the 2019 facelift both are standard on SLDA trims. We check the unit by reg, add a wireless adapter where it helps, and fit an Android screen on SZ4 cars with the CD radio.
Can I get CarPlay in a Grand Vitara?
Yes. The 2005–2014 Grand Vitara has a CD radio with no screen, so the route is an Android screen in the double-DIN slot with a Grand Vitara fascia and a plug-in harness, which brings wireless CarPlay and Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth and a reversing camera input, with the steering-wheel buttons kept. A camera on the side-hinged tailgate and rear sensors usually go in at the same visit.
How much does CarPlay cost on a Suzuki Vitara?
It depends on the generation. JT (2005–2014): from €290; LY (2015–2018): from €250; LY (2019 on): from €250. Fitting is done at our Dublin 11 workshop — send the reg and we confirm the exact price before you book.
Which Suzuki Vitara years can have CarPlay?
JT, built 2005–2014 (Factory CD radio without a screen; a navigation unit on some late cars): Android screen in the double-DIN slot with a Grand Vitara fascia; wireless CarPlay and Android Auto, steering-wheel buttons kept. LY, built 2015–2018 (7-inch SLDA touchscreen on SZ-T and SZ5 with CarPlay, Android Auto on most 2017 and later units; a CD radio on the SZ4): Factory CarPlay on SLDA cars, where we add a wireless adapter; an Android screen with wireless CarPlay and Android Auto on SZ4 cars with the CD radio. LY, built 2019 on (7-inch SLDA with CarPlay and Android Auto on most trims): Factory CarPlay and Android Auto; a wireless adapter so the phone stays in your pocket, and maps or region on imported cars.
How long does CarPlay take on a Suzuki Vitara?
JT: two to three hours; LY: two to three hours; LY: about an hour. You can wait at the workshop or drop the Vitara in the morning and collect it the same day.
What stays factory when you fit CarPlay on a Suzuki Vitara?
JT: the display is replaced, but the steering-wheel buttons, the factory amplifier and the climate controls are kept. LY: the display is replaced, but the steering-wheel buttons, the factory amplifier and the climate controls are kept. LY: CarPlay is factory-fitted, so we only add to it.
Do I need to book CarPlay for my Suzuki Vitara, and is there a warranty?
Yes — send the reg or the year and generation (JT and LY) on WhatsApp or the form below, and we confirm the route, the price and the next free slot. The work carries a one-year warranty, and the workshop is in Rosemount Business Park, Dublin 11, Monday to Saturday.
