Please forgive my ignorance...when you refer to the 'gearbox', are you speaking of the automatic transmission (CVT) or a manually operated transmission? I'm assuming the auto CVT.
I'd assume the CVT, that's all we got over here.

Are you sure its only cvt's in the UK? Netherlands and Germany have about 1/3 manual kizashis. (but only 1/10 4salekizashis are manual haha) 8-)

Yeah, from what I read it's Auto only, plus, on the many times I've looked, I've never seen a Manual for sale.

Apologies, I didn't get a notification to say anyone had replied. Looks like you're the only other person then Evanzo7. Good to see there's another Kizashi in Scotland. I've owned 2. A 63 plate in black (with the black privacy glass and a fresh coat of wax that car looked epic) bought from my local dealership in Wales when the 500 first got imported into the country (written off by a taxi driver while looking at his phone in Dundee :cry: ) and bought a silver 61 plate just before lockdown. Love the car and love the attention it gets.

I joined to find out if anyone had any information on swapping out the head unit for an aftermarket one. I like the way the standard system sounds but I do lot of hires music streaming and the Bluetooth isn't up to the job. If I swapped the head unit would I have to waste money upgrading the speaker system or is that fine the way it is? If there was a 3.5mm audio jack I wouldn't necessarily need to use BT but I'm guessing adding one in would be a bigger job than swapping the head unit.

That's alright, I don't have notifications turned on myself for most posts.
Yeah I've seen a couple in Scotland but not an awful lot, I know of a white one around the Braehead area in Glasgow, there used to be a silver one in Barrhead when I stayed there but they sold it for a Vitara not long before I moved.
Shame to hear about your black one :cry:

I couldn't tell you I'm afraid, not something I've ever played about with or looked into!
