To ensure that the unit is compatible with your car, please always send us a photo of your dashboard. This is because there may be different head units available even within the same model year.
Before installation, it is essential to confirm vehicle compatibility by checking the factory radio slot size. This Brummstadt unit is designed to fit dashboards with an 8-inch radio opening, commonly found in select Toyota models. It does not fit vehicles equipped with a 7-inch radio slot, which features a narrower frame and different mounting points.
To avoid fitment issues, verify the slot width using a measuring tape or compare visually with the reference guide provided. Accurate fitment ensures seamless integration with the existing dashboard design and maintains optimal functionality of surrounding components.
Fitment confirmation prior to ordering is strongly recommended.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about this head unit
Connect the single RCA cable with the yellow plug (included in your package) to extend your Bluetooth signal. This cable doubles as both a camera input AND a Bluetooth/WiFi antenna extension. The two small blue wires attached are antenna boosters that significantly improve connection stability. This simple connection takes 30 seconds and resolves 90% of Bluetooth issues. Make sure it's firmly connected even if you're not using a rear camera.
Try these proven solutions:
1. Quick Fix: Settings → Apps → Z-Link → Disable → Enable → Open (repeat each use)
2. Check Cables: Use the data/charge USB cable (not charge-only)
3. Bluetooth Setting: Disconnect all other Bluetooth connections - CarPlay needs exclusive access
4. Factory Reset Z-Link: Find the pink 'RESET' app, restart, reconnect Bluetooth, then try Z-Link
5. Sound Issues: Switch audio source to 'AUX' or 'USB/AUX' in your vehicle menu
Most issues are resolved with step 1 or 3!
The processor differs between models: The 2/32GB has a 4-Core processor, while 4/64GB and 8/128GB models feature the powerful 8-Core Cortex-A55 processor. Combined with RAM differences: The 2/32GB model with its 4-Core processor and limited RAM may experience slowdowns with heavy multitasking. The 4/64GB with 8-Core provides smooth performance for most users - no lag, seamless app switching, and enough storage for maps and music. The 8/128GB with 8-Core offers maximum performance with its generous RAM allowing unlimited multitasking and massive storage for extensive media libraries. Think of RAM like your desk space - more RAM means you can have more apps open simultaneously without slowing down.
Absolutely normal! These head units are complete replacement systems with their own GPS antenna, microphone, and Bluetooth module. Your factory connectors for these features won't be needed anymore. The important connections are: main power harness, speaker outputs, and the yellow RCA cable (even if not using a camera - it extends Bluetooth range). Any leftover factory plugs can be safely tucked away. If you're unsure about any connection, our support team is here 7 days a week.
Z-Link updates are handled through system firmware updates. Go to Settings → System → System Update. If an update is available, download it to a USB drive (FAT32 format) and install. Important: Never download Z-Link APKs from unofficial sources - they won't work and may cause issues. If you're having compatibility issues with newer iOS versions, the disable/enable workaround (Settings → Apps → Z-Link) usually resolves them while waiting for official updates.
Consider your usage:
• 2/32GB (4-Core): Budget option - fine for basic use, but may lag with multiple apps due to 4-Core processor and limited RAM
• 4/64GB (8-Core): Sweet spot - smooth Android Auto/CarPlay, multitasking, and ample storage
• 8/128GB (8-Core): Premium choice - unlimited multitasking, massive storage, future-proof for years
Most customers choose 4/64GB for the perfect balance of performance and value. The extra RAM makes a huge difference in daily smoothness!
The yellow RCA cable's blue antenna wires also boost WiFi signal! Make sure this cable is connected. Additionally, try these tips: Position the blue antenna wires away from metal surfaces, check that your phone's hotspot is set to 2.4GHz (not 5GHz) for better range, and ensure the head unit's WiFi sleep policy is set to 'Never' in Settings → WiFi → Advanced. For best performance with wireless CarPlay, keep your phone within 1-2 meters of the head unit.
Go to Settings → Sound → Equalizer and adjust to your preference. For more volume, increase the 'Loudness' setting. The 4/64GB and 8/128GB models have superior audio chips that provide cleaner, louder sound. If you have an amplifier, use the RCA outputs for best quality. Also check Settings → Factory Settings (password usually 126) → Audio settings for additional gain controls. Remember: higher-spec models (4GB+) include premium audio components for noticeably better sound.
Yes! Most vehicles work instantly. If not, use the steering wheel learning app: tap the steering wheel icon, press each button on your wheel, and assign functions. For newer vehicles with CANbus, we provide CANbus modules for automatic setup. Some vehicles may need the Key1/Key2 wires connected (usually included in our harness). If you're having trouble, let us know your exact vehicle model and we'll provide specific instructions.
We offer a 30-day return policy. If it doesn't fit or there's a compatibility issue, we'll work with you to resolve it. If you change your mind, a 20% restocking fee applies. Our team verifies compatibility before shipping to minimize issues. We provide installation support 7 days a week to help resolve any problems. With our 3-year warranty and Australian-based support, you can purchase with confidence. Full details in our Refund Policy.
A closer glance at Toyota's diverse model history provides context for the evolution that has driven the brand toward advancement in technology, interior comfort, and user-focused infotainment systems. From the early practicality-driven interiors of Corollas in the 1960s and 70s to the sophisticated infotainment-equipped cabins of modern-day variants like the Land Cruiser Prado, RAV4, Hilux, and Fortuner, Toyota's models evolve continually to match driver expectations and emerging automotive trends. The Land Cruiser, in particular, stands as an automotive legend, admired in Australia, the Middle East, and globally for its unmatched ruggedness, supreme reliability, and consistent revision of technological conveniences woven carefully into its interior appointments.
Yet, while Toyota factory infotainment systems have notably improved over time, discerning drivers increasingly pursue improved smartphone and smart device integration beyond factory-offered features. This pursuit directs many toward specifically tailored aftermarket solutions, like Brummstadt's versatile "Toyota Universal Premium Head Unit Upgrade Kit (2DIN)". Engineered thoughtfully, it integrates carefully into numerous Toyota models as a seamless replacement, ensuring drivers retain existing dashboard elegance and aesthetics.
The unit's support for wired and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto delivers essential convenience replicating the familiarity, intuitiveness, and effortless accessibility found in modern smartphones. Widely embraced navigation options—a hallmark of Toyota vehicles designed with active drivers in mind—are thoughtfully incorporated, supporting applications like Google Maps, Apple Maps, and WAZE. Envision, for instance, a pleasant evening with loved ones at a restaurant. The relaxed atmosphere extends seamlessly to the car journey: a destination pre-entered casually on a smartphone effortlessly displays onto the unit's system upon vehicle startup, seamlessly transitioning the journey from dining table to friend's living room, simplifying evening experiences.
Further amplifying vehicle safety—an absolute priority among Toyota owners who frequently transport families or traverse challenging areas—Brummstadt offers the practical option of adding 1080p HD front and rear cameras with direct recording capabilities. Drivers gain significantly improved safety and visibility, deepening peace-of-mind and creating documented visual protection in the unfortunate case of an incident or accident.
Entertainment versatility also expands beyond conventional expectations, supported by integrated user-friendly USB connections. Occupants can entertain themselves on extended journeys by plugging gaming joysticks directly into the unit's interface, introducing interactive gaming sessions on the head unit's screen—a thoughtful consideration revitalizing longer, more fatiguing drives.
Moreover, advanced voice-command capability characterizes this modern infotainment unit, responding naturally to vocal requests while driving—be it controlling navigation, managing music playlists, checking incoming messages, or even engaging home automation devices remotely. A scenario illustrates this benefit efficiently: As a driver approaches home and wishes to illuminate porch lighting, commands such as "Hey Siri, turn on the porch lights!" are quickly and safely executed, projecting Toyota owners’ expectations not just into conveniences inside the car itself, but extending seamlessly into their everyday lives.
Toyota's appeal lies substantially in its vehicles providing practicality, durability, and dependability, reinforced significantly by refined design, balanced driving performance, and intuitive engineering across its range. Toyota vehicles deliver a responsive yet composed driving experience carefully matched to driver’s diverse lifestyles—whether navigating urban settings, weekend adventurous treks, or utilitarian work demands. Subsequent aftermarket choices—including carefully selected infotainment systems and accessories like this advanced unit from Brummstadt—enable expanding Toyota vehicles' inherent strengths to tap even deeper reserves of comfort, convenience, entertainment, and safety.
Incorporating thoughtfully designed technology, Toyota owners further heighten their satisfaction, fostering deeper connections to the vehicle through the meaningful customization provided by such upgrades. The joy and genuine personal pride stemming from tailored infotainment choices reinforce Toyota’s lasting position in global markets—highlighting consistent commitment to purposeful design, technical evolution, and inherently practical automotive excellence.
