Product Overview

The Nakamichi NA9SUZUKIVITARA2015ON delivers complete Android functionality to your Suzuki Vitara (2015 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 beyond standard phone-mirroring solutions.

The 9-inch IPS display provides 1280×720 resolution with 500-nit brightness for excellent visibility in Australian conditions, while the Vitara-specific design includes colour-matched fascia and pre-configured wiring harness for seamless dashboard integration.

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. 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 navigation apps like Sygic or Waze, streaming platforms, offline media players, and even OBD2 diagnostic tools. Unlike locked systems, you control what runs on your Vitara's screen—perfect for drivers who want maximum flexibility.

Factory reverse camera integration works directly with your Vitara's existing camera without hardwiring or voltage converters. The system automatically detects reverse gear engagement and switches to camera view, maintaining the factory-grade safety features you rely on for tight parking and off-road obstacles.

Built-in GPS with offline capability eliminates dependence on phone data during remote Australian travel. Preloaded maps work immediately, and you can download comprehensive offline navigation from Play Store—essential for Vitara owners who venture beyond mobile coverage on fire trails, beach tracks, or outback touring.

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 needs.

Vehicle-specific engineering ensures the 9-inch IPS display integrates perfectly into your Vitara's dashboard with included colour-matched fascia and factory-specification wiring harness. CANBUS integration maintains steering wheel controls for volume, track skip, and voice commands without aftermarket adapters or functionality loss.

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 sunlight through your Vitara's panoramic windscreen. The 1280×720 resolution provides crisp text for navigation prompts and messaging.

Expandable storage and performance with 4GB RAM and 64GB internal storage allows you to store extensive offline music libraries, download high-resolution maps for entire regions, and run multiple apps simultaneously without lag—crucial for navigation while streaming music or running dash cam apps.

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 building a touring-grade sound system, the NA9 accommodates your upgrade path.

Dual video input support works with factory reverse camera plus an optional front-facing camera for bull bar installations—particularly valuable for Vitara owners who fit aftermarket protection and need visibility when navigating tight 4WD tracks or urban car parks with limited forward sight lines.
