After install, I noticed there are some plugs that don't seem to plug in anywhere. Did I get the wrong harness?
No, it is normal to have plugs left over from your old stereo if upgrading to a Brummstadt head unit. The unit comes with its own components and antennas (GPS, 4G, microphone), so some factory plugs are simply not needed anymore. No need to worry. All core functions will work as intended. If anything doesn’t perform as expected, you can always reach out to our customer support by clicking here Chat with Human Support or send an email to service@brummstadt.com.au. -
Why isn't my factory camera working with your unit?
Our cables are made to work with factory cameras, but sometimes they just don't. Some cameras work straight out of the box. Others may need a 12V to 6V step-down module or a different plug. In any case, contact our support team. We will help you find the right solution. -
What if something doesn't work during install?
This is our promise to you. We stand not only for quality in product but also quality in after-sales support. While there may be many alternatives out there, the true value shows when it comes to replacements or product questions. We are here to help until everything works exactly as it should. -
Can I use the reverse camera while driving forward?
Yes, absolutely possible. If you only have the rear camera installed or are using your original factory camera, you can add a rocker switch to activate it while in drive. Just keep in mind that this is not plug and play and does require some basic wiring knowledge. A more convenient option is to use both our front and rear cameras, which are powered directly through the head unit. You can switch between them anytime, view both at once and even watch them while driving. This is especially useful for towing, caravans and off-road use. -
Can I install a front camera and view it anytime, even while driving?
Yes, absolutely. You can view both front and rear anytime, whether parked or driving. For more advanced setups, you can install multiple additional cameras using rocker switches or modified RCA inputs and switch between them freely. This requires high installation skill and is not plug and play, while with our front and rear camera setup it is plug and play. -
Do your units support steering wheel controls?
Yes, absolutely. Steering wheel buttons are supported. Sometimes they work immediately after installation. Sometimes you configure them in the steering wheel app on the head unit. The process is simple: press the icon on the screen, press the button on your steering wheel, and assign the function. You can map any function to any button. For vehicles with more advanced ECUs, we supply CANbus modules. In those cases, you just select your car model inside the CAN app and it will sync automatically. Should anything be unclear or if you need help with setup, feel free to Chat with Human Support or email us at service@brummstadt.com.au.

The Nissan Maxima, often considered Nissan’s premium sedan offering, carries a storied tradition marked by reliability, performance, and distinctly dynamic design. Recognized and respected globally, the Maxima has established a reputation for craftsmanship, durability, and engaging driving dynamics. To truly appreciate the nuances of the 2009-2013 Nissan Maxima's seventh generation, an exploration into the history leading up to this distinguished model is valuable.
Historical Evolution and Heritage of the Nissan Maxima:
1. First Generation (1981-1984 - Datsun Maxima):
Initially presented in the North American market as the Datsun 810 Maxima, featuring a spacious interior, comfortable ride, and reliable inline-six engine, the cornerstone of the Maxima’s identity as a luxury-oriented sedan began here. Through refined engineering and attention to comfort, this model quickly garnered loyalty for its harmonious blend of practicality and premium appeal.
2. Second Generation (1985-1988):
With the second-generation offering, Nissan—as the marque had rebranded from Datsun—embraced front-wheel-drive architecture in the Maxima, enhancing passenger comfort and interior space. It stood out through the introduction of advanced technological features such as digital instrument clusters and voice reminders, thereby transforming consumer expectations of convenience and modernity.
3. Third Generation (1989-1994):
The third generation brought innovative leaps in design language alongside enhanced driving dynamics. This generation famously marketed itself as the "four-door sports car" (4DSC), encapsulating the passion Nissan engineers poured into its agile handling and responsive V6 engine. The Maxima firmly carved its niche as a balanced, driver-oriented premium sedan.
4. Fourth Generation (1995-1999):
Further embracing refinement, Nissan redesigned the exterior with sleek, contemporary styling matched by increased luxuriousness inside the cabin. The availability of a smooth VQ-series V6 engine combined with advanced comfort amenities secured widespread acclaim from drivers and automotive critics alike, solidifying Maxima’s position in the competitive luxury sedan segment.
5. Fifth Generation (2000-2003):
The early 2000s continued to emphasize mature refinement, subtle design sophistication, and a more potent VQ35DE 3.5-litre V6 engine. The Maxima now radiated elegance while providing increasingly athletic performance benchmarks, strongly aligning itself toward a sport-luxury audience discerning both comfort and spirited driving.
6. Sixth Generation (2004-2008):
Noticeably more imposing in physique and more expressive in styling, the sixth generation leaned into performance-oriented appeal, featuring even greater engine power and enhanced agility through finely tuned chassis dynamics. Technological sophistication also continued evolving, with innovative infotainment and driver assist options increasingly contesting fellow premium sedans.
7. Seventh Generation (2009-2014) — Nissan Maxima (A35 series):
The seventh-generation Nissan Maxima, produced between 2009 and 2014, combined Nissan's distinct personality with elevated craftsmanship. Sporting a muscular physique, expressive headlights, boldly sculpted fenders, and curved rooflines, this iteration presented an assertive contemporary aesthetic. Available primarily in North American and Australian markets, the A35 Maxima featured variations of the celebrated 3.5-litre VQ V6 engine, providing authoritative acceleration and responsive performance.
Inside, Nissan gave particular attention to driver-oriented cabin design, with intuitive controls, quality materials, finely contoured seats, and advanced technology features including navigation, Bluetooth connectivity, and immersive audio systems. The Maxima of this era successfully reaffirmed its longstanding heritage as the 4-door sports sedan, confidently blending sports-car responsiveness with sedan practicality and comfort.
Upgrading Cabin Technology with Brummstadt Integration:
Recognizing the growing desire among drivers for contemporary infotainment capabilities, renowned aftermarket specialists like Brummstadt offer specifically tailored infotainment solutions compatible with this generation of Nissan Maxima. The integration of a premium aftermarket head unit thoughtfully addresses modern connectivity expectations, bridging the technological gap historically limiting factory units.
Brummstadt’s comprehensive head unit integration seamlessly complements existing cabin ergonomics and aesthetics, offering wired and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility. Owners benefit significantly from this enhancement: navigation routes planned before departure via smartphone navigation apps—such as Google Maps, WAZE, or Apple Maps—instantly appear on the head unit’s display. Imagine departing a favorite restaurant after family dinner, the destination already set effortlessly on the phone, promptly materializing on the display screen upon entering the vehicle, easing the transition between settings smoothly and safely.
Safety sees additional advantages through optional high-resolution 1080p HD front and rear camera upgrades, capturing clear and reliable footage for reassurance in unfamiliar areas or busy traffic conditions. Moreover, thoughtful features extend into journey recreation for passengers, as integrated USB connectivity options facilitate multiplayer gaming sessions within the stationary vehicle, redefining downtime or long waits into genuinely enjoyable experiences.
Furthermore, the intelligent voice activation functionality available through leading digital assistants—such as Siri and Google Assistant—generously delivers convenience both inside and beyond vehicular boundaries. Practical voice commands manage a myriad of infotainment tasks, from calling contacts and navigating playlists to interacting remotely with smart-home functionalities—"Hey Siri! Please switch on driveway lights"—illustrating naturally harmonious lifestyle connectivity.
Advantages of the Nissan Maxima A35 Series (2009-2013):
Owners of the seventh-generation Nissan Maxima enjoy numerous tangible benefits directly attributed to the vehicle's thoughtful engineering and dedication to balance performance with refinement. Key attributes highlight premium interior craftsmanship, distinctive styling authority, robust VQ-series powered performance, and a refined chassis tuning that consistently returns a composed yet dynamic driving experience. Furthermore, inherent reliability coupled with well-considered practicality ensures lasting satisfaction and practicality for owners making long-term commitments.
By applying carefully selected aftermarket components, owners unlock further convenience, utility, entertainment quality, and enjoyment potential. Refreshed connectivity technology, such as provided by specialist brands like Brummstadt, modernizes practical usage while significantly deepening daily enjoyment while respecting the vehicle’s dignified heritage.
Through decades of continuous evolution, Nissan Maxima models recount a rewarding narrative of driver-oriented innovation, graceful yet purposeful design, and engaging performance—this 2009-2013 era Maxima being no exception. Integrating purposeful aftermarket infotainment systems within provides compelling proof of how thoughtful automotive advancements fittingly complement and further amplify the underlying strengths and character of a truly respected, globally admired vehicle series.
