Product Overview

The Nakamichi NA9SUZUKIGRANDVITARA20052013 brings complete Android functionality to your Suzuki Grand Vitara (2005-2013) with wireless CarPlay, Android Auto, and built-in GPS navigation. This vehicle-specific multimedia receiver runs a full NK 13.0 Android system with 4GB RAM and 64GB storage, enabling direct app downloads from Google Play Store, multiple navigation platforms, and extensive customization that transforms your proven mid-size SUV into a modern touring-ready vehicle.

The 9-inch IPS display delivers 1280×720 resolution with 500-nit brightness for clear visibility in Australian conditions, while the Grand Vitara-specific design includes colour-matched fascia and pre-configured wiring harness for seamless dashboard integration. For owners of this versatile generation Grand Vitara—whether using it for family duties, touring adventures, or light off-road exploration—this system represents a significant technological upgrade from the original basic audio systems that prioritized mechanical reliability over multimedia features.

Factory steering wheel controls integrate via CANBUS where equipped, maintaining safe operation during highway cruising or technical terrain. The built-in GPS module comes preloaded with navigation data, with flexibility to update or install alternative mapping apps through the Android platform—essential for Grand Vitara owners who venture beyond suburban routes for camping trips, coastal touring, or regional travel. Audio capabilities include 4×50W amplification with dedicated subwoofer output and 4V pre-amp connections for external amplifiers, while dual video inputs support reverse cameras and auxiliary front camera installations. The system maintains full AM/FM radio with 30 station presets and includes GPS antenna, microphone, and all necessary cables.

Features & Benefits

Full Android operating system provides unrestricted access to Google Play Store for downloading offline navigation apps like Hema Maps, weather radar apps for touring, camping apps like Wikicamps, streaming platforms, and diagnostic tools. For Grand Vitara owners who use their vehicles for family adventures and regional touring, this level of customization brings modern capability to a proven platform.

Built-in GPS with offline capability adds navigation functionality that base-model 2005-2013 Grand Vitaras never included. Preloaded maps work immediately, and you can download comprehensive offline navigation from Play Store—essential for coastal touring, High Country trips, outback exploration, or any adventure where your Grand Vitara's capability exceeds mobile coverage availability.

Wireless smartphone connectivity connects your iPhone or Android device without cables for instant access to navigation, hands-free calling, messaging, and music streaming through Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. The system brings contemporary smartphone integration to a vehicle platform celebrated for mechanical durability and practical versatility.

Vehicle-specific engineering ensures the 9-inch IPS display integrates into your Grand Vitara's functional dashboard with included colour-matched fascia and factory-specification wiring harness. While substantially larger than the original head unit, the screen enhances rather than overwhelms the Grand Vitara's straightforward, purpose-built interior design.

Premium IPS display technology delivers superior viewing angles and colour accuracy compared to standard TFT screens, with 500-nit brightness that remains clearly visible in direct Australian sunlight. The wide viewing angles benefit passengers who may reference maps during family road trips or touring adventures.

Expandable storage and performance with 4GB RAM and 64GB internal storage allows you to download and store multiple regional maps offline, extensive music libraries for long-distance touring, podcast collections for highway cruising, and family-friendly apps—critical capability for multi-day regional trips where the Grand Vitara excels.

Comprehensive audio architecture provides 4×50W amplification for speakers plus dedicated subwoofer output and 4V pre-amp connections for external amplifiers. Whether maintaining factory speakers or upgrading to touring-grade audio for long highway journeys, the NA9 accommodates complete sound system enhancement.

Dual video input support accommodates aftermarket reverse cameras (recommended for Grand Vitara's limited rear visibility when loaded with camping gear) plus optional front-facing cameras for bull bar installations—valuable for Grand Vitara owners who've added protection equipment for light off-road use or touring.

Future-proof connectivity means your proven 2005-2013 Grand Vitara gains the same smartphone integration and app ecosystem as modern SUVs. As new mapping data, camping apps, and weather services launch, your Grand Vitara stays current through Play Store downloads—extending the practical capability of your reliable family adventure vehicle.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this fit my Grand Vitara's dashboard?

Yes, the NA9 is specifically engineered for 2005-2013 Grand Vitara dashboards (JT series) with included vehicle-matched fascia. The 9-inch screen represents a substantial upgrade from your original head unit, bringing modern navigation and connectivity to your proven SUV platform without compromising the Grand Vitara's functional interior design.

Can I navigate without my phone on touring trips?

Absolutely. The built-in GPS with preloaded maps operates independently of mobile coverage—adding navigation capability that most base-model Grand Vitaras never had. Download comprehensive offline maps like Hema Maps, regional maps, or complete state maps from Play Store before multi-day touring adventures.

Will my steering wheel controls work?

If your Grand Vitara is equipped with factory steering wheel controls, the NA9 maintains compatibility through CANBUS integration for volume and track functions. Many base-model 2005-2013 Grand Vitaras lack steering wheel controls—in these cases, all functions are accessed via the responsive 9-inch touchscreen.

What apps should I download for touring?

For Grand Vitara touring, download offline navigation (Hema Maps, Google Maps offline regions), camping apps (Wikicamps Australia, Campermate), weather apps (BOM Weather, Willyweather), fuel price apps, and entertainment apps (Spotify, podcast players) for long highway drives. The 64GB storage easily accommodates complete touring app libraries.

Do I need to add a reverse camera?

Most 2005-2013 Grand Vitaras did not include factory reverse cameras. We strongly recommend adding an aftermarket reverse camera—particularly valuable given the Grand Vitara's limited rear visibility when loaded with camping gear, towing caravans, or fitted with rear-mounted spare wheels and touring accessories.
