Suzuki Vitara Infotainment Review

[@donatasdicmanas5009]

Volume can be adjusted by sliding finger on volume bar, not just tapping + / -

[@CarObsession]

Hi Donatas, that point's already been made, but thanks for watching, and for commenting.

[@alwright8715]

Just brought one this week great car so far so good, thanks for the info still learning

[@peterrozin7602]

Very nice review. I have owned the Vitara for a few months now and am still playing with the infotainment system. You cleared up some doubts I had. Thank you once again for the awesome job!

[@CarObsession]

No worries Peter, I'm glad you found it useful - thanks for watching.

[@bensijmens22]

Thanks for the explanation 👍 Just bought a new Vitara so this is handy.

[@CarObsession]

No worries Ben, I'm glad I could help! Thanks for watching.

[@VXEO]

@@CarObsession great video man… just one question.. you wouldn’t know how to repair/replace the inbuilt USB port? Any help would be greatly appreciated 🙏🏼

[@CarObsession]

@@VXEO I've got NO idea I'm afraid. You're best bet would be send it to a car audio specialist, or a main dealer, although I bet a main dealer will simply want to replace the unit. Thanks for watching 👍🏽.

[@TBEasyC]

is that the Garmin satellite navigation unit or the Bosch satellite navigation unit? I'm trying to figure out which one my Vitara has, so I can update the GPS.

[@1300Joce]

It's possible to slide the volume up and down. Tapping is not the only way. That's why it might seem a bit unhandy.

[@CarObsession]

Hi there, thanks for commenting, but this point has already been raised a fair few times. Thanks for watching.

[@davewalker7126]

Thank you for the review - I ordered a Vitara yesterday after a test drive, but we didn't even look at the 'infotainment' . Would appreciate how you actually connect it for Apple car play (is it wireless, or need a lead?), and what it looks like when you put music on a SD / USB card into it, plus again how good it actually sounds.

[@Ben-jq5oo]

Very helpful presentation, thanks.

[@CarObsession]

Thanks Ben!

[@WhipGame89]

Does anyone know if it's possible to set the Media > Bluetooth as a default media player ?

[@hubertlemmens8240]

Nice review....but why not a review for the safety systems , how to use the adaptive cruise distance 1,2,3 , park distance ???? works the emergency brake well ???? thanks for all your nice reviews.

[@CarObsession]

Because I didn't get the time to do so I'm afraid. I did have such a video planned, but life got in the way, I'm afraid. Thanks for watching Hubert.

[@TheSpursfan1963]

can you go back the main interface without losing the satnav instructions ?

[@CarObsession]

I *think* so BUT, it's been a very long time since I've used this system so I can't say for sure. Thanks for watching.

[@paddywigglesworth7652]

My wife is getting this model in 2 weeks, is it a. Multimedia system or something similar. Thank you for the video.

[@CarObsession]

No worries Paddy, thanks for watching and thanks for the comment 👍🏽.

[@petersugden7189]

Ve ry useful, bought Suzuki s4xcross July should have read this earlier. Tricky working out the infotainment system than previous cars.

[@CarObsession]

Hello Peter, I'm glad you found the video useful, thanks for watching.

[@johnmartin7158]

Hi Mr Channel Guy ! My wife’s daughter has just bought a new 2021 Suzuki Vitara. GLX awd. Do you have a comprehensive video explains all the buttons as well ? As in steering wheel, under air vent, side door and everywhere else. Regards John NZ

[@CarObsession]

Hi John, I'm afraid not, as to be honest I would imagine the demand for that video would be low. Thanks for watching

[@libbymcbeath6711]

My Apple play in vitara 2021 was set up for right hand drive and has all of a sudden changed to left hand drive. How do I change it back as it is not as easy to use as the driver now. I.e accessing the home buttons.

[@CarObsession]

Hi Libby, I'm not too sure as I've never seen that happen. It may be worth contacting your Suzuki dealer. Thanks for watching.

Is there any way to connect a Huawei mate 20 pro to play music. I can connect using Bluetooth but this only works for calls not media even when its charging my phone it say no phone connected

[@CarObsession]

That's odd Paul because if it's connected via Bluetooth it should be able to play music. You may need to look in to the phone's setting or contact Huawei technical support or your local Suzuki dealer. Thanks for watching.

[@janicee2196]

Can you dull the info screen on the Vitara?

[@CarObsession]

Hiya Janice, thanks for watching, and thanks for the question. I'm afraid I cannot remember as it was a very long time ago that I filmed this video.

[@LilBlighter]

Yes, there's a Display Brightness option in Settings.

[@bluejohnuk]

I have a Vitara SZ5 2017 - can anyone tell me the manufacturer of the Infotainment system and where I go [online?] to get Map Updates? Thank you, John

[@503appie]

I think it's this Bosch system. www.bosch-mobility-solutions.com/en/products-and-services/commercial-vehicles/interior-and-body-systems/infotainmentsystems/head-unit-for-commercial-vehicles/ But you probably contact your dealer for infotainment updates?

[@joegaffney1959]

Whats the call quality like when using in built mic etc?

[@CarObsession]

Hi Joe, thanks for watching. I honestly cannot remember as this video was made over 3 years ago.

[@mezverdalez]

Since Emui 12 update android auto doesnt work anymore. more people having problems?

[@richardsmith448]

I have an older infotainment system dated June 2012 on the manual, and an iPhone 5S. The phone is paired and successfully rings out but won’t accept calls. Any thoughts?

[@CarObsession]

That's very strange... I'd recommend contacting your Suzuki dealer.

How do you adjust the volume on the sat nav.Cannot hear Mine it's rubbish.

[@spelivani77]

Go to the setings on the main screen that is where you will find the sound settings meny

[@jarkkok2044]

There are meny videos about ifotaiment system and nobody, doens't say a word about sound quality?

[@CarObsession]

Hi Jarkko, thanks for watching. I think there's a few good reasons for that. I'd say sound is quite a subjective thing, plus it's difficult to demonstrate a sound system on a KZbin because you've got the potential copyright issues, and you've also got the fact of the viewer won't be hearing the sound system in person. They'll be hearing it through the speakers of their phone/PC/TV via my microphone, which is unlikely to give a true representation of the actual sound quality.

[@rossmoore2371]

Does the satnav give live traffic updates similar to Google maps?

[@MrDuxfield]

This infotainment system is junk. It won't stream music from your phone via the bluetooth without it sounding like a skipping cd. I have 2016 Vitara with a brand new head unit. It does this to all the android phones it was tested with. Mine, the dealer mechanic's etc. Plus there is no Aux input, a design over sight on the part of Suzuki & the usb input is only good if you put music on a usb flash drive. Over engineered junk. I'm about to replace mine with a car stereo head unit with an Aux input in it.
