Suzuki Swift Stereo Upgrade: CarPlay, Removal and Radio Code

The Suzuki Swift is one of the easiest cars to upgrade. It has a straightforward double DIN dash, so a wireless CarPlay and Android Auto head unit fits neatly with a Suzuki fascia kit. Imported Swifts also get English menus and the full NZ FM dial, and a camera adapter keeps or adds a reversing camera.

What fits

A double DIN head unit with a Suzuki fascia kit. Our Suzuki Swift page has the details, and the stereo fit checker covers other Suzuki models.

Removing the old stereo

The surrounding trim unclips and the unit is held by screws. Our guide to removing a car stereo covers the steps and the tools to use.

Radio code

Some Swift units ask for a code after the battery is disconnected. Find it before you start: see what to do when a radio asks for a code.

Reversing camera and steering controls

A camera can be added or kept with an adapter, and the steering wheel buttons stay with a steering control interface. See steering wheel control interfaces.

Getting it done

We fit Swift head units at your home or work: see head unit installation, or Japanese car stereo conversion for imported Swifts.
