It requires a custom made interface harness to work- due to the non standard plug used by Suzuki.

(I've got mine working with an aftermarket head unit and thought other people might also be interested. I didn't want a second USB cable floating around in the glovebox or centre console when the factory provides a USB port!)
I too am interested in one of these. I have an aftermarket with a USB. I drilled a hole in the top of the compartment below the HVAC unit and fished the usb down through there. It works well and looks stock (especially when the door is closed) but if I could get the OG usb conected that would be great.

You plan sounds good and the price is right - so, can you do it :) ?
