    • 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 Focus stands prominently in modern automotive culture as an international symbol of engaging driving dynamics, sleek aesthetics, and technological advancement combined harmoniously with everyday practicality. Produced since 1998 as a global vehicle, the Focus emerged within Ford's lineup to bridge practicality and spirited performance, thereby quickly earning an enthusiastic global following.

    Historical Context of the Ford Focus:

    First Generation: Mk1 (1998–2004)
    Introduced initially within the European market towards the end of the 1990s, the first-generation Focus made a remarkable debut. Replacing Ford’s Escort model, the Focus rapidly distinguished itself through unique "New Edge" styling and notably responsive handling. Immediately acclaimed by automotive critics, including a European Car of the Year award for 1999, this early iteration featured incisive dynamics, excellent chassis stiffness, and ergonomic interior design—quickly garnering appreciation worldwide. Trim levels and tastes differed across global markets, with North American drivers receiving broadly similar—but regionally tailored—versions catering specifically to local preferences in transmission choices and interior trim standards.

    Second Generation: Mk2 (2004–2011)
    Building upon this initial success, Ford’s second-generation Focus debuted globally with refinement and enhancements pivotal to its broad market success. Significantly more spacious compared to Mk1, global versions, including European and Asian models, placed increasing emphasis on cabin quality, comfortable ergonomics, and refinement in ride comfort. Though North America's Mk2 Focus took a separate design route due to regional preferences, in Europe, Australia, and Asia, drivers warmly received this version, thanks to its increased sophistication, diverse engine choices, improved fuel efficiency, and consistent driving refinement.

    Third Generation: Mk3 (2011–2018): LW, LWII, and LZ Models
    Launched originally in 2011, the third-generation Ford Focus entered a highly competitive global segment predominantly defined by refined compacts with advanced technology. This generation, spanning LW, LWII, and LZ model evolutions, impacted the global market decisively due to significant improvements in comfort, fuel efficiency, enhanced driving dynamics, and advanced interior equipment. The distinctive aggressive and contemporary design exhibited energetic lines, with a refined interior showcasing enhanced materials that emphasized the global movement toward quality and connectivity.

    The Australian market specifically appreciated LW (2011–2012), LWII (2012–2015), and LZ (2015–2018) models for their comprehensive standard features, smart interior designs, and dynamic handling characteristics reflective of local driving conditions and preferences. Particularly, the LZ phased in substantial updates with improved front-end design, further refined suspension systems, upgraded engine technologies for better fuel economy and performance, and a shift towards advanced connectivity through integrated infotainment technologies.

    Product Integration: Enhancing Driving with Technology

    Accompanying this focus on connectivity, Brummstadt has crafted a compatible premium head unit specifically tailored toward this generation of the Ford Focus (LW, LWII, LZ). Developed to integrate effortlessly within the original dashboard framework, this aftermarket head unit presents an expansive suite of features and functions—thoroughly developed with user comfort and practical convenience in mind.

    The system incorporates a dual-mode (wired and wireless) Apple CarPlay and Android Auto functionality, offering versatility suited to diverse user preferences. Utilizing CarPlay or Android Auto, navigation apps such as Google Maps, WAZE, and Apple Maps become intuitively accessible on the vehicle’s main screen for effortless directional clarity. Consider the convenience scenario: after a relaxed evening meal with family or friends at a familiar restaurant, the destination to visit a nearby acquaintance is set via smartphone prior to leaving. Seamless integration with Apple CarPlay or Android Auto smoothly transfers this preset navigation route onto the head unit’s bright, intuitive touchscreen. Consequently, the transition from restaurant to vehicle becomes smooth and uncomplicated, eliminating the stress of navigating unfamiliar areas and leaving the driver at ease and comfortable throughout the journey.

    Additionally, Brummstadt provides an optional upgrade in the form of 1080p HD quality front and rear camera solutions capable of continuously recording driving events, greatly improving visual safety awareness and the security assurance of having documented evidence readily available should incidents occur. In-cabin entertainment receives a substantial lift through USB joystick connectivity, enabling passengers to interactively engage in multiplayer games accessible directly through the head unit screen, creating rewarding travel experiences and shared memories along each trip.

    The included smart voice control system extends significantly beyond expected voice-enabled functions such as selecting music tracks or making and responding to calls. Leveraging familiar personal assistants such as Siri or Google Assistant, the user acquires enhanced abilities allowing interaction with connected home smart devices remotely—commands like "Hey Siri! Turn on the porch lights," executed directly from within the car as it nears home—illustrating the degree to which these systems smoothly integrate into broader life activities.

    Benefits & Advantages of the Ford Focus (LW, LWII, LZ):

    Throughout its third generation, the Ford Focus consistently delivered standout performance attributes, thoughtful technology integrations, and refined design components. Globally recognized chassis tuning expertise resulted in consistent appreciation for responsive handling characteristics, crisp steering inputs, and carefully controlled ride comfort—a skillful combination appealing widely to urban commuters, driving-oriented individuals, and families drawn by the vehicle’s comprehensive and practical ergonomic considerations.

    The potent yet fuel-conscious engines contributed considerable value, especially in urban and regional environments sensitive to practical economy. Furthermore, the more recent LZ variants provided significant safety advances through enhanced driver-assistance offerings, supplementing peace of mind with technology previously associated exclusively with premium-market brands.

    Investing thoughtfully in premium aftermarket components, such as Brummstadt's tailored head units and detailed accessories, fundamentally improves the experience of Focus ownership. Modern integration introduces fresh convenience layers demanded in current connected lifestyles, increasing daily driving satisfaction and expanding usability scenarios far beyond original factory configurations.

    In total, supported by history defined by continual evolution, driver-focused refinements, quality cabin interiors, spirited yet efficient powertrains, and a keenly balanced ride-handling relationship, the Ford Focus LW, LWII, and LZ stand prominently as vehicles embodying thoughtful automotive excellence. Owners climbing behind the wheel recognize not only real-world dependability and careful engineering consideration but also an enduring dedication to crafting experiences that consistently inspire pride, confidence, and genuine driving contentment.

    “A car is not just a tool — it’s an experience waiting to happen.”
