 * As far as it is known, Suzuki has not predicted that anyone would install an aftermarket 2-DIN multimedia player in a pre-2005 Jimny (with original old interior design).
 ** Therefore no known official solutions or mounting kits exist for such combination, and it is not known how that endeavor will end up regarding physical and electrical fitment and dash board trim alignment.
-*** Report your experiences here!
+*** All this might be wrong - correct if you know better!
 * Installing an aftermarket 2-DIN multimedia player in a post-2005 Jimny (with revised interior design) is definitely and officially achievable.
 ** However, the replacement options are a bit complicated / expensive.
