Hey everyone,
I’m pretty new to upgrading Jazz cars, so I’m hoping some of you with more experience can help me out.
I’ve got a 2022 Honda Jazz SE and I’d love to bring it closer to the SR trim in terms of features. mainly the front/rear parking sensors, the rear-view camera, and the 9" Honda Connect infotainment system.

Here’s what I think I know (and want to sanity-check):

1. I believe the underlying design of the SE and SR is the same, and the SR just has the “extra” features installed.

2. I found part 08A77-TZA-PAIDB, which I think is the OEM rear camera kit, can this be installed on the SE?

3. Can I retrofit the parking sensors to the SE as well?

4. If I grab a 39540-TZA-E031-M1 9" infotainment unit from an SR, will it physically fit in the SE’s dash?

5. Does the SE wiring harness already have the right pins/connectors for the screen, camera, and sensors or would I need extra wiring/adapters?

6. Will the upgraded head unit actually display the parking camera feed and integrate properly with the sensors?

I’m basically trying to figure out if this is a plug-and-play type of upgrade or if it’s a big wiring job that might not even work. Heck, even the confirmation of the part compatibility would be a huge help.
Has anyone here done this upgrade (or something similar) on a Jazz SE? Any tips, gotchas, or advice before I start buying parts would be massively appreciated!

Thanks in advance

It may well be possible to upgrade to some of the SR features if you can get all the necessary parts, and able to solve a variety of possible hitches with very complex electrical systems  with can-bus signals ,ECU menu modifications etc .

 But even if successful the result will be a car that is neither fish nor fowl .  Insurers often have a slightly lower premium for a SE than an SR (because SR's have more stuff they may need to pay to fix and a higher value if the car is written off) .You may need to inform them of the modifications.

 Also when you sell the car  buyers may be wary  of its unusual  changes in specification and may not pay more than an SE price. The cost of your modifications will be  lost.  Indeed I suspect trade buyers would either not be interested in the car  or  offer less for it. 

In my opinion you would be better putting the money  towards  replacing the car sooner than you might otherwise done with a higher specification, .

I'm quite skeptical here. I wanted to add blind spot monitoring to the mirrors and a heated steering wheel (maybe from a coupe, or even from an HR-V) to my Advance. But the technician told me that not only the appropriate wiring is missing, but also some modules and software. So it's probably impossible...

Update after I did some digging. posting in case it saves anyone else the trouble. First, my own premise was wrong: the SR has no reversing camera, the camera starts at EX. Second, the 5"→9" head unit swap is fraught with difficulties: The SE's 39100-TZA-E013-M1 is a Pioneer with 5 rear connectors, the 9" 39540-TZA-* is a Panasonic with 9 with different sizes, positions and colour-keying, so the SE loom physically cannot plug in, and no SR/EX instrument-panel sub-harness is available as a part. I'm not capable of DIYing that. Third, Honda head units are VIN-locked: the unlock code is keyed to the serial number on the back of the unit and must come via a Honda dealer (HDS won't do it). After a successful code entry from the dealer, the unit re-registers itself to your VIN automatically. Fourth, on sensors: Honda never released an accessory parking-sensor kit for the Mk4 (the 2016-19 Jazz had one). The one genuinely good bit of news is the camera: Honda's own 2021 accessory brochure lists kit 08A77-TZA-PAIDB as available on the 5"-screen car, so an OEM camera on the standard SE screen should fit. Two footnotes for anyone thinking of going aftermarket instead: there is no Connects2 fascia, no SWC interface and no CANbus interface for the Jazz 2020+ (all three stop at 2019/2020).

I think I'm going to go third party all the way, the OEM route seems way to finicky for sensors and head unit, but at least cameras are ok. I'm not intending to sell which is why I'm unbothered by changes to the car value

Just to add, the SR came with an option to have the reversing camea fitted - I did
