Features & Benefits

Full Android operating system provides unrestricted access to Google Play Store for downloading offline navigation apps like OsmAnd and Hema Maps, weather radar tools, trail tracking software, communication apps, and diagnostic tools. For classic Jimny owners who use their vehicles for serious remote touring, this level of technology integration is transformative while maintaining the vehicle's mechanical character.

Built-in GPS with offline capability adds navigation functionality that simply didn't exist in 2005-2018 Jimny factory systems. Preloaded maps work immediately, and you can download comprehensive offline navigation like Hema 4WD Maps from Play Store—absolutely critical for tackling remote tracks, High Country trails, Cape York expeditions, or desert crossings where the classic Jimny excels but mobile coverage doesn't exist.

Wireless smartphone integration connects your iPhone or Android device without cables for instant access to navigation, hands-free communication, and music streaming through Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. The system brings 2025 smartphone technology to a 2005-2018 platform, eliminating the technology gap while preserving the Jimny's proven mechanical simplicity.

Vehicle-specific engineering ensures the 9-inch IPS display integrates into your classic Jimny's functional dashboard with included colour-matched fascia and factory-specification wiring harness. While dramatically larger than the original head unit, the screen enhances rather than overwhelms the Jimny's purposeful, tool-like interior aesthetic.

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 outback sunlight reflecting off your Jimny's distinctive bonnet. The wide viewing angles mean your passenger can easily reference the navigation screen during technical track navigation or convoy travel.

Expandable storage and performance with 4GB RAM and 64GB internal storage allows you to download and store multiple complete state maps offline, extensive music libraries for long-distance touring, recovery guides, and vehicle-specific apps—critical capability when you're days into remote territory where these compact 4WDs are legendary for reaching.

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

Dual video input support accommodates aftermarket reverse cameras (recommended for classic Jimnys) plus optional front-facing cameras for bull bar installations—particularly valuable when navigating tight bush tracks, water crossings, or technical rock sections where forward visibility over aftermarket protection equipment is limited.

Future-proof connectivity means your proven 2005-2018 Jimny gains the same smartphone integration and app ecosystem as modern vehicles. As new mapping data, weather apps, and touring tools launch, your classic Jimny stays current through Play Store downloads—extending the practical capability of your reliable off-road workhorse.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this fit my older generation Jimny?

Yes, the NA9 is specifically engineered for 2005-2018 Jimny dashboards (JB23/JB43 series) with included vehicle-matched fascia. The 9-inch screen represents a substantial upgrade from your original basic head unit, bringing modern navigation and connectivity to your proven off-road platform without compromising the Jimny's purposeful character.

Can I navigate off-road without phone signal?

Absolutely. The built-in GPS with preloaded maps operates independently of mobile coverage—adding navigation capability that most 2005-2018 Jimnys never had. Download comprehensive offline maps like Hema 4WD Maps, OsmAnd, or complete state maps from Play Store before remote expeditions where your classic Jimny can go but mobile signals cannot.

Will my steering wheel controls work?

If your Jimny is equipped with factory steering wheel controls, the NA9 maintains compatibility through CANBUS integration for volume and track functions. Many 2005-2018 Jimny variants lack steering wheel controls—in these cases, all functions are accessed via the responsive 9-inch touchscreen interface.

What apps should I download for remote touring?

For serious classic Jimny touring, download offline navigation (Hema 4WD Maps, OsmAnd), weather apps (BOM Weather, Willyweather), trail tracking (Gaia GPS, Mud Map), recovery guides, and communication tools (UHF frequency guides). The 64GB storage easily accommodates complete offline map sets for multi-state remote expeditions.

Do I need to add a reverse camera?

Most 2005-2018 Jimnys did not include factory reverse cameras. We strongly recommend adding an aftermarket reverse camera with this installation—particularly valuable for the Jimny's limited rear visibility when reversing on technical terrain, backing up to trailers, or navigating tight camp sites with bull bars fitted.
