Seems like a lot of broken english and misspelling but if it actually fits, looks like it has a lot of nice technology

Ehhhh, they look hott and seem nice im not gonna front. Im the autotech for best buy here in Jersey City and alot of customers bring these types of stuff they find on ebay to have it installed.. I wouldnt do it bro. U better off getting an official brand double din and put it in with the correct dash kit... To many problems be happening wit these units, customers be complaining too and i tell them from the begining these arent reliable at all

Does look neat. I wouldn't want to install that much tech in my car because it can get expensive trying to replace something if it breaks. Maybe something to do with the car in its later years when you are looking spice it up and not spend money on a new car.

Nice find. I searched all over the internet about 18mths ago but no such thing existed back then- I figured it was a case of the Kizashi just not being popular enough.

It's also interesting that it's basically saying anything to fit the late model Swift will also fit the Kizashi. That potentially opens up a lot of other options.

The risk of buying an expensive (but extremely stylish) paperweight is probably high. You'd really need to find out feedback from other buyers to see if the risk is worth it. I do know of a few people who run the cheap Chinese double DIN head units with success, one guy had his touch screen fail but just bought a new unit. (You could buy probably 3 of the Chinese units for the price of one "quality" branded head unit- that would also be made in China ;) )

Does your best buy use suzuki oem dash kits? They fit much nicer than the Scosche kits.
I dont think the HKHonda swift unit will even fit. The bottom of our radio doesnt curve under like that one. And the height of ours is different.

The lower curved section looks like it might be detachable? Perhaps they've made it so it can fit both by doing things like that? It would be good to see pics of it in the Kizashi dash. It certainly looks the part and very OEM like.

I cant see any parting line but there could be a whole separate plastic face that goes on to fit the kizashi. I sent a message asking for photos.
I just called and asked if it will fit in a kizashi like it says it will and she told me to "send her a photo of my radio and she will tell me if it fits" I dont think she had a clue what i was talking about.

I just dug up my stock head unit to compare. The top section with the clips etc is nothing like mine (it's got a smooth edge), the width is 267mm (not 275mm) and the height is 146mm in the centre and ~141mm at the edge where they've measured (not 138mm). The Kizashi also has lots of clips on the bottom edge (similar to what the top edge of that head unit has).

I don't like the chances of it fitting. They probably just advertised as fitting because it looks similar! I found that when searching for something to fit our 2004 XL-7, some places advertised Jimny head units as fitting. They looked physically like they would, however the Jimny apparently has CANBUS wiring data links which the "antique" XL-7 certainly doesn't.

That unit does NOT fit the Kizashi the new swift follows the same design philosophy as the Kiz, but the parts are not interchangeable the outer curves are way different. If people want something that is legit and can do all of this, then try going to Caska's website. They have one that fits the Kizashi
