Nakamichi NA9SUZUKISWIFT20122017 - 9" Android Wireless CarPlay & GPS Navigation System

Modernize your 2012-2017 Suzuki Swift with full Android capability, wireless smartphone integration, and built-in GPS—compatible with factory Sat Nav models.

Product Overview

The Nakamichi NA9SUZUKISWIFT20122017 brings complete Android functionality to your Suzuki Swift (2012-2017) 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 comprehensive customization that goes far beyond basic phone-mirroring solutions.

The 9-inch IPS display delivers 1280×720 resolution with 500-nit brightness for clear visibility in Australian conditions, while the Swift-specific design includes colour-matched fascia and pre-configured wiring harness for seamless dashboard integration. For Swift models originally equipped with factory Sat Nav (Option 2), this unit works directly with your existing reverse camera without additional hardwiring modifications. Factory steering wheel controls are largely retained through CANBUS integration, though the Bluetooth button on steering wheel controls is not compatible with this system.

The built-in GPS module comes preloaded with navigation data, with flexibility to update or install alternative mapping apps through the Android platform—ideal for Swift owners who need offline maps for city commuting or regional travel without relying on phone data. 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 (on equipped models) 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 Spotify, YouTube Music, Waze, Sygic, offline media players, and thousands of other apps. Unlike locked-down systems, you have complete control over your Swift's multimedia experience—perfect for drivers who want flexibility beyond basic smartphone mirroring.

Factory Sat Nav compatibility means Swift models originally equipped with navigation systems (Option 2) can retain their factory reverse camera functionality without complex hardwiring. The system automatically detects reverse gear engagement and switches to camera view, maintaining your original safety features seamlessly.

Built-in GPS with offline capability eliminates dependence on phone data during travel. Preloaded maps work immediately, and you can download comprehensive offline navigation from Play Store—essential for urban Swift owners avoiding data charges during daily commutes or those venturing into regional areas with patchy mobile coverage.

Wireless smartphone connectivity eliminates cable clutter while providing instant access to navigation, hands-free calling, messaging, and music streaming through Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. The system intelligently switches between native Android apps and phone mirroring based on your preference and connectivity status.

Vehicle-specific engineering ensures the 9-inch IPS display integrates perfectly into your Swift's dashboard with included colour-matched fascia and factory-specification wiring harness. CANBUS integration maintains most steering wheel controls including volume, track skip, and voice commands—though the Bluetooth button requires the new system's integrated Bluetooth rather than factory functionality.

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 1280×720 resolution provides crisp text rendering for navigation prompts and messaging—a significant upgrade from the 2012-2017 Swift's original display technology.

Expandable storage and performance with 4GB RAM and 64GB internal storage allows you to store extensive offline music libraries, download high-resolution maps for multiple regions, and run multiple apps simultaneously without performance degradation—crucial for Swift owners who expect modern smartphone-level performance from their in-car systems.

Comprehensive audio architecture provides 4×50W amplification for factory speakers plus dedicated subwoofer output and 4V pre-amp connections for adding external amplifiers. Whether maintaining stock audio or upgrading to aftermarket speakers and amplification (popular with Swift Sport owners), the NA9 accommodates your audio enhancement path.

Dual video input support works with factory reverse cameras (on Sat Nav-equipped models) plus an optional front-facing camera for additional visibility. This is particularly valuable for urban Swift drivers navigating tight car parks or those who've added aftermarket front styling and need forward sight line assistance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this work with my factory Swift reverse camera?

If your Swift was originally equipped with factory Sat Nav (Option 2), the NA9 works directly with your existing reverse camera without hardwiring modifications. For Swift models without factory Sat Nav, reverse camera integration may require additional wiring. Send us your dashboard photo with year and model when ordering to confirm compatibility.

Will all my steering wheel controls work?

Most steering wheel controls work including volume, track skip, source selection, and voice commands via CANBUS integration. However, the Bluetooth button on the steering wheel is not compatible—you'll use the system's integrated Bluetooth 5.0 instead, which provides superior wireless performance compared to the factory system.

Will this fit my Swift Sport?

Yes, the NA9 is compatible with all 2012-2017 Suzuki Swift variants including Swift Sport, GL, GLX, and GL Navigator models (FZ series). The unit includes vehicle-specific fascia and maintains compatibility with factory steering wheel controls (except BT button).

Can I use navigation without my phone?

Absolutely. The built-in GPS with preloaded maps operates independently of your smartphone. Download additional offline navigation apps like Sygic, HERE WeGo, or Google Maps offline regions from Play Store for phone-free navigation—ideal for avoiding data charges or travelling through areas with limited coverage.

How much storage is available?

The system includes 64GB of internal storage for apps, offline maps, and media files. After system files, approximately 50-55GB remains available for your use—sufficient for multiple offline map regions, extensive music libraries, podcast downloads, and numerous apps without running out of space.
