Howdy! This is my first post to the forums. Thank you for all of the helpful information so far! I'm a proud new owner of a used 2017 Smart Fortwo 453 which I bought with less than 2200 miles! It's a Fortwo Passion trim with Lighting Package. It does NOT have the JBL sound nor the Smart Media touch screen, just a stock radio.
I have so many questions! Let's start with what I know:
HEAD UNIT
I have ordered and will get professionally installed the popular Android head unit that is compatible with the 453. I believe I also need to order and install the Apple Carplay dongle. The use of Siri voice commands and Apple Carplay is the main reason I am buying this head unit.
REAR REVERSE CAMERA
I plan to order the following camera which fits in the 453's license plate light cover. The head unit seller tells me it works with the Android head unit.

I also plan to:
- Replace the factory door speakers with upgraded 6.5 inch speakers. I understand that the external doors plates need to be removed, not the internal covers, to do the install and I have downloaded the PDF instructions for that from these forums.
- Purchase and install 4 inch rear speakers in the empty spot for the speakers in the rear part of the car.
- Order and install the JBL Tweeter Speaker upgrade kit which installs tweeters on the inside mirror cover plates. Let me know if you recommend a particular source for this purchase. Needs to ship to the U.S.
- Order and install an amp
- Order and install a subwoofer
