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 Ford Everest has steadily established itself as a distinguished player in the SUV landscape. Positioned as a rugged yet sophisticated seven-seat SUV, it thrives in diverse markets across Australia, Asia, Africa, and beyond. Its inception signalled Ford's dedicated expansion from the utilitarian toughness associated typically with the Ranger ute, toward a premium, family-oriented vehicle capable of balancing city driving ease with remarkable off-road capabilities—a combination making it especially popular among versatile and active families.
Historical Journey of the Ford Everest:
First Generation: Ford Everest (2003–2015)
Initially debuted in 2003, the Everest (called Ford Endeavour in India) was designed utilizing Ford Ranger pick-up fundamentals, emphasizing rugged dependability alongside practical usability. For markets across Asia and Africa, the Everest provided reliable diesel engines, robust ladder-frame chassis engineering, and a no-nonsense interior accommodating larger families comfortably. Its appeal largely came from its durable construction, generous interior space, and impressive off-road performance.
Throughout the early to mid-2000s, the Everest reinforced itself as an SUV adept at navigating rough terrain and demanding conditions—especially appreciated in rural and remote regions in Southeast Asia, Australia, and parts of Africa—due to its assured off-road prowess and towing capability.
Second Generation: Ford Everest UA & UAII Series (2015–2022)
With sophisticated design enhancements and engineering refinements, the 2015 release of the Everest UA series (second generation) represented Ford's confident evolution toward combining premium comforts with uncompromised ruggedness. Utilizing the global T6 Ranger platform, this generation provided a significant levelling up in refinement, cabin quality, technology features, and driving enjoyment.
In Australia and certain Asia-Pacific regions, the updated UA platform translated successfully into a family-oriented SUV experience. With modern styling cues, robust diesel power (notably the 3.2-litre five-cylinder Duratorq TDCi and later the efficient 2.0-litre Bi-turbo diesel engine), marked towing abilities, and advanced off-road technology applications such as Ford’s Terrain Management System, it rapidly became a favored choice among families and adventure-seekers needing flexibility without sacrificing refinement.
Ford Everest (2018–2022) – UAII Series Updates
In 2018, Ford further sharpened its Everest offering in the UAII update. Exterior restyling enhancements, refreshed interior comforts, upgraded suspension refinement, improved sound insulation, and critical advancements in driver-assist and technology features significantly lifted its overall driving experience. Key driver assistance systems such as autonomous emergency braking (AEB), adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, and blind-spot monitoring enhanced safety, lending each journey a reassuring sense of security and confidence.
Notable also was its enhanced infotainment offering—Ford’s SYNC3 system provided drivers with phone integration via Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Improved cabin acoustics and a refreshed dashboard layout elevated comfort levels in routine travels as well as extended family journeys, effectively solidifying the UAII series Everest as a preferred choice amongst discerning family buyers.
Elevating Driving Experience with Aftermarket Technology:
Recognizing the Ford Everest UAII series' strengths in performance, capability, and family-friendly design, thoughtful and appropriate infotainment upgrades enrich an owner’s daily interactions considerably. Amid the available options, Brummstadt has developed a premium replacement head unit tailored specifically for optimal compatibility with the Everest interior and electronics architecture, catering perfectly to vehicles produced from 2018 to 2022.
This Brummstadt head unit significantly expands upon original infotainment capabilities. Central features include comprehensive wired and wireless Apple CarPlay as well as Android Auto compatibility, offering immediate access to Google Maps, Apple Maps, WAZE, and various other navigation platforms. Picture a scenario where, after enjoying an evening dinner with family, the next destination—the home of a close friend—is already mapped on a mobile device. Upon entry to the Everest, this previously set navigation transfers smoothly via wireless Apple CarPlay or Android Auto onto the Brummstadt unit’s vivid touchscreen. Thus, transitions from social outings to driving become effortless and relaxing experiences.
Another beneficial addition available is a dual front and rear 1080p HD camera recording solution. Beyond heightened visibility, the dash camera system offers recorded footage, supplying valuable evidence for potential insurance claims or for securely capturing memorable travel experiences. This practical addition provides genuine peace-of-mind, particularly in challenging driving scenarios where clear video evidence can be crucial.
Entertainment too receives notable attention. The Brummstadt head unit supports multiplayer games by directly connecting game controllers through its integrated USB ports—creating a powerful and entertaining focal point for family engagement during longer road trips or everyday commutes. A unique capacity to interact via smart voice control also distinguishes this head unit: the ability to issue voice commands for media selection, navigation entry, or even interfacing with smart home devices ("Hey Siri! Turn on porch lights") provides owners significant convenience, driving safety, and seamless integration into digitally connected lifestyles.
Benefits and Pleasures of Driving a Ford Everest (2018-2022):
This second-generation Everest—the UA and especially the UAII mid-cycle refinement—has significantly raised expectations within the mid-to-large SUV category. Exceptional ride comfort and handling dynamics convey a reassuring sense of control, equally impressive both on long distance highway travels and more demanding off-road runs. Its robust powertrain offerings, commendably smooth automatic transmissions, intelligent off-road terrain control systems, and thoughtful family passenger space illustrate an SUV thoughtfully designed for daily practicality alongside serious adventuring abilities.
Luxury-infused refinements, ranging from noise-dampening insulation, premium materials inside, spacious three-row seating, and enhanced infotainment systems, exemplify Ford's detailed engineering attention toward satisfying modern families' various needs: everyday commuting, extended road trips, occasional towing demands, and wilderness explorations. Such multifaceted ability firmly established the Ford Everest as a thoughtfully comprehensive platform for adventurous yet comfort-conscious lifestyles.
Complementing these intrinsic attributes with a carefully tailored aftermarket infotainment unit from Brummstadt further amplifies each aspect of this driving experience. Through intelligent smartphone connectivity, improved navigation precision, practical safety enhancements, and engaging entertainment solutions, the possibilities clearly illustrate how dedicated technological investments become instrumental in transforming each journey—delivering more convenience, reassurance, and satisfaction.
The Ford Everest from 2018 to 2022 thus positions itself impressively: successfully embracing its evolution from rugged roots toward thoughtful, premium versatility, while comfortably meeting varied demands of family life and adventure. Considerably enriched through intelligent aftermarket technological integration, it demonstrates that technology and engineering can harmoniously combine to advance automotive enjoyment and practical family living significantly.
