Small Update -
Door and underbody damping is done. It as reduced the transmission whining noise to much extent and outside noise is much more muted. Earlier, the door used to rattle on high bass setting. This is also gone away now. A total of 30 sheets where used; I paid around 30K for this.
Have removed the USB port near the 12V socket which is used to connect USB and phone to the Smart Play system. As the USB is specification 2.0 maximum thus it can only provide 500mA current at 5 Volts (2.5Watts) which is not enough to even keep my phone’s charge level. This is now replaced with the following:
EIWA Imp157 USB Power Supply for Suzuki Jimny & Sierra (JB64/JB74), Maximum Output 5V/2.4A x 2, Reversible Port, Automatic Identification, Genuine Same Color LED, USB Power Supply, Dedicated Design, Smartphone and Tablet Charging
To install this, one needs to move the AT gearbox panel which is held by 4 clips ( 2 on each side at the bottom), then a small trim near the driver left leg is to be removed. Further, 2 clips need to be removed to free the panel/trim which hosts the window roll up/down buttons, HDC, and 12v socket with the USB socket.
The original USB socket is part number is 39105M80T00.
Trim removed, note the timbles on the 12V socket. One is a smaller one than the other (hence they are keyed). The blue colored connector one is the original USB port with 4 pin connector.
These two edges/raised plastic tabs holds the original USB socket.
Inserted the new 5A 2.4A x 2 connector. This connector has a male and female thimble joined to be able to use the 12V socket thimbles. These are also keyed i.e. one is smaller than the other to ensure correct polarity.
This is how it looks from the front.
12V positive attached. This is the smaller thimble. Note the “new” male thimble protruding out.
Both thimbles attached and the original power socket also attached. This way, both the 12V and the new 12v to 5v socket gets the power.
Final test before fitment. These are illuminated in warm orange color. Also note that these are reversible.
After fitment of trim panels.
