No Bluetooth audio

Hello all,

I’ve had my jimny 2022 model for a year now it still has the old school radio system and it has been working perfectly for the past year since getting the car. but just today my phone connected to the system and the small digital screen shows the time of the music and what track but no audio plays for some reason. Anyone have any suggestions for a fix?

TIA

A little lift for a little rig

Still running stock tyres and suspension. Took to some trails on the weekend as a shakedown loading it out with camping gear for two. Can’t get enough of Jimny life

sleeping in 5 door Jimny

Is it possible to fold the seats all the way down in the 5 door Jimny just as in the 3 door, in case I needed to sleep in it?

Has anyone tried this? I’ve seen many videos of people sleeping in their 3 door but none of the 5 door.

Gen 3 sound deadening

Hello,

I test drove gen 3 jimmy and gen 4. Gen 4 is much quieter and much more comfortable at that. Just feels like a normal small car. Gen 3 sounds like the engine is screaming for its life. The whole cabin sounds like an argument between husband and wife as the metal and plastic rattle on and on going only 40 mph. Its really that much worse than the new gen 4 to my ears.

Could that be fixed? Whats ur experience with the sound deadening material on the gen 3? Did it calm down the whole cars rattles and noises?

Manual Gearbox Issues - JB74

So my gearbox got an issue a couple of months ago. Car is just over 1 year old with 28,000kms. The synchro on second gear got damaged and damaged second gear and reverse as well. Suzuki Australia are blaming my diff lockers for the damage.

I have gotten a statement from the product manager of my lockers, am getting a statement from my 4wd club that i am a part of stating that i dont 4wd like an idiot

But im trying to see if people here have had issues with their manual gearboxes so i can take this information to Suzuki along with my other evidence.

What issues have you guys had with your manual gearboxes?

Advice please

Hello from South Africa! I have a question for you all. I'm really keen on the 5-door Jimny. Here there is a really cool community with them and I've grown on it a lot. I currently have a 2015 Ford Ranger double cab 4x4. The Jimny would be a daily driver, and adventure car (camping and trails). I do know the comprises in terms of power and smaller space, but wanted some first hand experience. We are a family of 3 currently (spouse and 15 month old). What is the rear passenger space like for a car chair? Usable?

If allowed here.....Value my Jimny

I'm getting a newer Jimny next week in the UK.

Place I'm getting it from has offered £8k trade in for my Jimny (details below) which seems a little low.

Carwow and WBAC have offered £8.5k, which again seems low.

So:

Jimny 2017 SZ3.

Only used as a "weekend car". 13k miles on it. White colour (or color!)

Pretty much mint except some rust on the steel wheels

And a bit of worn drivers seat as you would expect.

It's been serviced every year at a Suzuki specialist.

Wire Cut For Illuminated Door Sill By Maruti On My Jimny 4 Door

Hi Jimny owners, I got the accessories installed from the showroom which included the illuminated door sill. Even on my instance, they installed it by cutting the wire as they said they are installing this way for all Jimnys.

Just wanted to know, if anyone has got the illuminated door sills installed and how they were installed.

Also, guide me how can I take this up with Maruti now, I have the bill for accessories but don't have any video/photo proof of wire cutting.

I am also facing an electrical issue where even when ignition button is not on, only the driver side power window works sometime.

Dealer - Modern Nexa Shimla Himachal

Thanks in Advance.

Advice Needed: Considering an Imported 2024 Jimny—Is It Worth It?

Hi everyone,

I’m currently looking to buy a Suzuki Jimny, and I’ve found a dealer offering 2024 imported models (automatic, 4-seater) in the UK. The price seems fair at £25,000, and they handle the IVA test and DVLA registration. However, I’m trying to weigh the pros and cons before taking the plunge and was hoping for some advice from the community.

My Concerns:

  1. Warranty:

Since these are Japanese imports, they likely won’t be covered by Suzuki UK’s warranty. The dealer offers a third-party warranty, but I’m unsure how reliable these are. Anyone have experience with this?

  1. Spare Parts & Servicing:

I’ve heard that parts for imported Jimnies can be tricky to source in the UK. How big of an issue is this in practice? Are there reliable suppliers or garages you’d recommend?

  1. Insurance:

I’m expecting higher premiums for an import. Is there anyone here who’s insured an imported Jimny? How much more did you end up paying compared to a UK-registered model?

  1. Alternative Options:

Would I be better off looking for a used 2021 UK model instead? It seems like it might simplify insurance and servicing, but the newer model is tempting!

I’d love to hear your thoughts, especially if you’ve been in a similar situation. Any tips, experiences, or general advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance for your help!

Tyres & Wheels

Can you fit a 15 x 8J steel wheel on a 215/75 R15 Tyre ? Or would it be better to upgrade my tyres to 235/75 R15 to fit the 15 x 8J steel wheel ?
