Firstly, Many thanks for your ideas around the DIYs. I have been following your threads(& other TeamBhpians as well) and already did a few DIY modifications on my swift. I own a Swift Type 1 (vxi trim w/o airbag) with K12M engine (2010-11 series) that has clocked 1,34,000 kms on the Odo now. Happy to mention that my family is the first owner to this sweet little beast. I am from Kolkata.
The Volkswagen Sporty accelerator pedal was priced at Rs. 2200 (approx) which seemed quite overpriced for me. However, my itch for this simple DIY compelled me to procure it at that hefty price tag.
1. Boot lamp (Rs. 96 MGP) and its wiring harness (any Maruti Suzuki harness for the boot lamp literally works as the female coupler is primarily important here, the wiring looks simple). I intend to take the connection from the Dome Lamp with the door functionality as the lamp and wiring harness also provides 3 wiring lines viz-a-viz +ve, -ve & door (grey wire).
2. Procured the Swift Zxi illuminated 12v charging socket from Boodmo which again is heftily priced at Rs. 1800 approx after discount on Boodmo. As @Ashtoncastelino mentioned, this charging socket is a Suzuki Genuine Part (imported), hence the price tag, however my inclination towards using Genuine parts again pushed me to procure it (with a big sigh though). The charger wiring is simple however I wish to connect the illumination wiring to the head unit which lights up when the parking lights are on. Need to figure out the wiring as I got an aftermarket android stereo from Woodman.
Also, the spare 12v charging socket would be installed in the boot towards the left upper side as Maruti was smart enough to cut cost by having a placeholder but not the Product . Thank you @Ashtoncastelino for this idea. Also, intending to replace the 10 amp fuse for the stock charger to 30amp just for safety as I intend to draw the spare charging connection from the stock wiring for the same. Might also install another 10 amp fuse in the new wiring for the spare 12v socket.
3. Also, procured one vanity mirror (from Boodmo; MGP)which is a retrofit for Brezza to be installed as a rear cabin light as Maruti loves to keep us in the dark at times lol. Also, procured the roof wiring harness for Dzire Gen 1. Hope to complete these DIYs soon enough and share the look, process and jugaad (If needed) of the same.

I also procured a Swift (and not SX4) JDM Dashboard Monitor from UK at around Rs. 1200 INR (used). Haven't, received it yet as my sister plans to travel back next month to India. I'm sure that the clock would be a snug fit and would display the time & fuel efficiency. However, my car doesn't come with an ambient temperature sensor.
Could you guide me if my current BCM is capable to read the ambient temperature ? If yes, which pins on the BCM is to be wired ? And, if the temperature reading output is going to be present in the stock wiring coming to the Dashboard Monitor ?
Looking forward to your ideas or suggestions @Ashtoncastelino and my fellow teamBhpians
