About this kit

Factory-style upgrade for the 2011–2017 Swift that keeps the dash calm and uncluttered.

The display wakes quickly and remains stable in Australian heat, so daily driving feels simple, tidy and consistent.

Supports Apple CarPlay & Android Auto via CarLink 2.0 (pre-installed).

Features you’ll use

2011-2017 Suzuki Swift Head Unit Kit

OEM fitment

Built to suit the Swift cabin with a tidy, factory-style fascia. Controls on the wheel remain active, and the factory camera is supported where fitted. The module mounts securely and sits flush so the dash stays clean and uncluttered — a simple upgrade that looks like it belongs from day one.
  • SWC retained
  • Camera supported
  • Flush fascia
  • Clean dash

EQ & timing

Shape the sound to your cabin. Use multi-band EQ, per-channel time alignment and high-resolution playback to get cleaner staging at any volume. Bluetooth handles calls and music with low latency, and there’s an easy path for amp/sub upgrades if you want more punch later — the system won’t hold you back.
  • Multi-band EQ tuning
  • Per-channel time alignment
  • Hi-Res audio playback
  • Amp/sub upgrade path

Voice first

Wireless connection means you hop in and go: the unit reconnects automatically after the first pair. Use voice to search addresses, call contacts, and control Spotify while your hands stay on the wheel. Apple Maps guidance is glanceable and prompt, and notifications stay readable without pulling your attention away.
  • Wireless auto reconnect
  • Voice-led controls
  • Apple Maps & Spotify

Offline & Torque

Save mobile data and stay guided by downloading map areas before you leave. When reception drops outside town, navigation continues smoothly. Pair a simple OBD2 adapter and use the Torque app for live gauges and quick code checks — handy for monitoring temps and trims on longer drives.
  • Download offline areas
  • Navigation without coverage
  • Torque gauges & codes
