Installing Maruti Suzuki's SmartPlay Studio Dock in an Alto

It cost me Rs. 649, plus Rs 8 as delivery charges. I received it after a few days and installed it in his car.

BHPian BoneCollector recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

My father-in-law's Alto has the SmartPlay Studio dock integrated into its music system. He wanted his mobile to be fixed for navigation etc., but after trying different mobile docks, he was not satisfied. He asked me for something that would hold the phone properly. I searched for the SmartPlay Dock, but couldn't find it anywhere.

Then I contacted the encyclopaedia of Maruti, D-BHPian Leoshashi. He got me the part number in just a few minutes and I was able to place an order on Boodmo. It cost me Rs. 649, plus or minus Rs 8 as delivery charges. I received it after a few days and installed it in his car. It's really good, considering it does the job. I couldn't download the SmartPlay Interface, but will be doing it at a later date. Adding some pictures for better understanding:

It opens up once you press the button on top.

Before installation.

To install it, you need to remove the central cover and then push the rod part inside and then rotate clockwise, while keeping it pushed. You'll hear a locking sound and that's it, the dock is installed.

This is after installation. We can rotate the holder as per our choice of phone orientation.
