Nakamichi NA9SUZUKIJIMNY2018ON - 9" Android Wireless CarPlay & GPS Navigation System

Equip your 2018+ Suzuki Jimny for serious adventure with full Android capability, wireless smartphone integration, and built-in GPS—factory camera compatible.

Product Overview

The Nakamichi NA9SUZUKIJIMNY2018ON brings complete Android functionality to your Suzuki Jimny (2018 onwards) 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 Jimny's capability for remote touring and off-road adventures.

The 9-inch IPS display delivers 1280×720 resolution with 500-nit brightness for clear visibility in harsh Australian conditions, while the Jimny-specific design includes colour-matched fascia and pre-configured wiring harness for seamless dashboard integration. The system works directly with your factory reverse camera without additional modifications—simply connect and go. Factory steering wheel controls integrate via CANBUS, maintaining safe operation on technical terrain where hands need to stay on the wheel.

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 Jimny owners who venture beyond sealed roads where mobile coverage is unreliable or non-existent. Audio capabilities include 4×50W amplification with dedicated subwoofer output and 4V pre-amp connections for external amplifiers, while dual video inputs support both factory reverse camera and auxiliary front camera installations for bull bar setups. 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 OsmAnd and Hema Maps, communication tools like UHF radio apps, trail tracking software, weather radar apps, and diagnostic tools. For Jimny owners who use their vehicles for serious 4WD touring, this level of customization is essential for remote area preparedness.

Factory reverse camera integration works plug-and-play with your Jimny's existing camera system—no voltage converters or complex wiring required. The system automatically switches to camera view when engaging reverse, maintaining your factory-grade safety features when navigating tight tracks, backing up to hitches, or manoeuvring around obstacles on technical terrain.

Built-in GPS with offline capability eliminates reliance on mobile data during remote touring. Preloaded maps work immediately, and you can download comprehensive offline navigation like Hema 4WD Maps or OsmAnd from Play Store—absolutely critical for Jimny owners tackling Cape York, the Simpson Desert, the Canning Stock Route, or any Australian outback adventure where mobile coverage doesn't exist.

Wireless smartphone connectivity provides instant access to navigation, hands-free communication, and music streaming through Apple CarPlay or Android Auto when you're in coverage areas. The system intelligently switches between native Android apps (for offline functionality) and phone mirroring (when you have signal), giving you maximum flexibility across all terrain.

Vehicle-specific engineering ensures the 9-inch IPS display integrates perfectly into your Jimny's functional dashboard with included colour-matched fascia and factory-specification wiring harness. CANBUS integration maintains steering wheel controls for volume and track skip—essential when you're navigating technical sections and need to keep both hands on the wheel.

Premium IPS display technology delivers superior viewing angles and colour accuracy compared to standard TFT screens, with 500-nit brightness that remains clearly visible even in direct Australian outback sunlight reflecting off your Jimny's bonnet. The wide viewing angles mean your passenger can easily view the navigation screen during complex track navigation.

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, podcast series for remote travel, and vehicle-specific apps—critical when you're days away from mobile coverage or WiFi connectivity.

Comprehensive audio architecture provides 4×50W amplification for speakers plus dedicated subwoofer output and 4V pre-amp connections for external amplifiers. Whether running factory speakers or building a touring-grade sound system for long outback drives, the NA9 delivers the audio foundation your Jimny adventures deserve.

Dual video input support works with factory reverse camera plus an optional front-facing camera for bull bar installations—particularly valuable for Jimny owners navigating tight bush tracks, river crossings, or technical rock sections where you need forward visibility over aftermarket protection equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this work with my factory Jimny reverse camera?

Yes, the NA9 is designed specifically to work plug-and-play with your factory Suzuki Jimny reverse camera without hardwiring or voltage converters. The system automatically switches to camera view when you engage reverse gear, maintaining seamless integration with your Jimny's existing safety systems.

Can I navigate off-road without phone signal?

Absolutely. The built-in GPS with preloaded maps operates independently of mobile coverage. Download comprehensive offline maps like Hema 4WD Maps, OsmAnd, or complete state/territory maps from Google Play Store before departing—essential for remote touring where the Jimny excels but mobile coverage doesn't exist.

Will my steering wheel controls work?

Yes, the NA9 includes CANBUS integration (CAN RX/TX interface) that maintains full compatibility with your Jimny's factory steering wheel controls for volume adjustment, track skip, and source selection—critical for safe operation when navigating technical terrain that demands full attention.

What apps should I download for 4WD touring?

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

Can I add a front-facing camera?

Yes, the system includes a front auxiliary camera input (F_CAMERA) perfect for bull bar-mounted cameras. This is particularly valuable for Jimny owners navigating tight bush tracks, approaching water crossings, or positioning the vehicle on technical rock sections where forward visibility over the bull bar is limited.
