    Optional Accessories Installation Guides

    Enhance your Brummstadt head unit with these premium accessories. Each accessory is designed for easy DIY installation.

    External Microphone (Your Passengers Will Thank You)
    Game changer alert: Ever had someone say "Sorry, can't hear you!" on calls? Your built-in mic is doing its best, but it's fighting road noise. This external mic with noise filtering makes you sound crystal clear - even at highway speeds!

    Dead easy setup (honestly, 2 minutes):

    1. Connect to head unit: Find the 3.5mm MIC port in your wiring harness (it's with the RCA connectors). Just plug in the mic's 3.5mm connector until it clicks
    2. Pick your spot: Most people love the sun visor (clips on solid), but A-pillar or above the mirror work great too. The 3-meter coiled cable reaches anywhere
    3. Clip it on: The rotatable clip grips tight - sun visor, A-pillar trim, wherever works for you. About 30cm from your mouth is perfect
    4. Quick test: Call a mate and ask "How do I sound?" Prepare for compliments! Works brilliantly with Siri, Google Assistant, and hands-free calls

    Pro tip: Mic too quiet? Head to Settings → Sound → Microphone Gain. Start at 50% (perfect for most cars). Noisy diesel? Try 70%. The difference is amazing!

    🔊 Voice Quality Tip: After installation, fine-tune your microphone sensitivity in the head unit's audio settings. Test it out by calling your wife, husband, kids, friends, or even having a philosophical chat with the heavens above! Try voice commands with Siri, Google Assistant, or your preferred voice assistant to ensure crystal-clear audio. If they can't hear you properly, simply adjust the mic gain in settings until you sound like a professional podcast host!
    Rear View Camera Installation
    Compatibility: Rear camera alone works with all models (2/32GB and up). For front + rear camera combo, you need 4/64GB or higher.

    For Brummstadt Cameras (Plug & Play):

    1. Mount camera above license plate using provided bracket
    2. Run the camera cable through rubber boot between car body and trunk/door
    3. Route cable under trim panels to head unit location
    4. Connect yellow RCA plug to CAM-IN on head unit
    5. Connect red power wire to reverse light positive (this serves as the power trigger that tells the head unit to automatically switch to camera view when you shift to reverse)
    6. Connect black wire to chassis ground
    7. In Factory Settings → Backcar Settings, set to "Aftermarket Camera"

    Note: In most cases, connecting the red wire to the reverse light is necessary for automatic camera switching. However, in modern vehicles with CANBUS, this may not be required as the CANBUS module already controls screen switching (even if your car didn't come with a factory camera, the switching software is often pre-installed!))

    Camera will automatically activate when reverse gear is selected.

    DAB+ Digital Radio Module

    Installation Process:

    1. Connect USB module: Connect the DAB+ receiver to the USB 6-pin port on the back of the head unit (not the 4-pin port)
    2. Mount antenna:
      • Clean windscreen area (top corner recommended)
      • Stick the film antenna to the glass
      • Route cable along windscreen edge under trim
    3. Connect antenna to module: SMB connector clicks into place
    4. Activate in head unit: Open DAB+ app and scan for stations
    5. Ground for better signal: Connect the DAB+ module to bare metal in your vehicle - the car's metal body serves as grounding for stronger signal reception
    6. Position for best reception: Antenna works best with clear sky view
    7. Download app: Download a DAB+ app from the Google Play Store to start streaming digital radio
    ⚠️ Important: DAB+ coverage varies significantly by location. Check coverage maps for your area before purchasing to ensure you can receive digital radio signals.
    TPMS (Tyre Pressure Monitoring System)
    Choice of Systems: We offer both External (valve cap) and Internal (inside tyre) TPMS sensors. External is easier to install, Internal is more accurate and secure.

    External TPMS Installation (Valve Cap Type):

    1. Install sensors:
      • Remove existing valve caps
      • Screw on TPMS sensor caps (hand-tight only)
      • Note each sensor's ID number for position mapping
      • No tyre removal required - 5 minute installation!
    2. Connect USB receiver: Plug into available USB port on head unit
    3. Configure in app: Download and open one of these recommended apps:
      • TPMS by Vietmap: Simple interface, good for basic monitoring
      • USB TPMS: Advanced features with logging
      • Tyre Pressure Monitor: Clean UI with customizable alerts
    4. Map sensors: Assign each sensor ID to correct wheel position (FL, FR, RL, RR)
    5. Set alerts: Configure pressure (typically 32-35 PSI) and temperature warnings

    Internal TPMS Installation (Professional):

    1. Tyre removal required:
      • Remove wheels from vehicle
      • Dismount tyres from rims
      • Install internal TPMS sensors on valve stems
      • Remount and balance tyres
      • Professional installation recommended ($50-100 typical cost)
    2. Connect USB receiver: Same as external - plug into USB port
    3. App configuration: Same apps work for both internal and external sensors
    4. Advantages: More accurate readings, theft-proof, no risk of damage at car wash

    After Installation: Drive for 5-10 minutes to activate sensors. You'll see real-time pressure, temperature, and leak alerts directly on your head unit screen!

    Front and Rear Camera Combo (Live View)
    ⚠️ Requires 4GB/64GB or Higher: Front camera LIVE VIEWING while driving requires 4GB RAM models. The dual camera live view system is NOT compatible with 2/32GB entry models. (Note: Dashcam recording is different and works on all models)

    Dual Camera Installation:

    1. Front Camera:
      • Mount behind rearview mirror area
      • Connect to dedicated front camera input on head unit
      • Route cable along windscreen edge and A-pillar
    2. Rear Camera:
      • Mount above license plate
      • Connect yellow RCA to rear CAM-IN
      • Connect red wire to reverse light for auto-switching
    3. Configure in Settings:
      • Set both cameras in Factory Settings
      • Enable split-screen view option
      • Configure switching behavior

    Benefits: View both cameras simultaneously, switch between them while driving, perfect for towing or tight parking.

    Dashcam (Front Recording)
    ✅ Compatible with ALL models: Dashcam recording works perfectly on all models including 2/32GB. Records to SD card for incident protection.

    Installation Process:

    1. Mount the camera: Position behind rearview mirror for best view
      • Clean windscreen thoroughly
      • Attach using provided 3M adhesive mount
      • Ensure camera has clear view of road
    2. Connect power: Plug USB cable into head unit's USB port (any available port)
    3. Route cable: Tuck cable along windscreen edge and A-pillar trim to hide it
    4. Configure recording:
      • Open dashcam app on head unit
      • Set video quality (1080p recommended)
      • Enable loop recording (overwrites old footage)
      • Set G-sensor sensitivity for incident detection
    5. Storage: Records to the unit's internal storage (choose 4GB/64GB+ for longer recordings)

    Features: Continuous recording, automatic incident saving, parking surveillance mode when hardwired to constant power.

    RAM & Storage Options - Which to Choose?

    Quick heads up: The 2/32GB, 4/64GB or 8/128GB refers to the unit's built-in storage (like your phone's memory). This is permanent internal storage that can't be upgraded later.

    Which option suits you best?

    2GB RAM / 32GB Storage (Entry Level):
    • Basic CarPlay/Android Auto use only
    • Warning: May experience app refreshes or stuttering when multitasking
    • OK if you only use one app at a time
    • No 4G/SIM support at this level
    4GB RAM / 64GB Storage (Recommended):
    • Double the power - smooth multitasking
    • Run maps and music together without stutter
    • Includes 4G LTE & SIM card support
    • Room for apps and offline content
    • This is what most customers choose
    8GB RAM / 128GB Storage (Premium):
    • Power users and businesses
    • Run many apps simultaneously
    • Best for dashcam recording
    • Massive storage for offline maps
    • Future-proof choice

    💡 Pro Tip: The 2/32GB is really just an entry option. For proper multitasking without frustration, 4/64GB is the sweet spot!

    💡 Installation Tip: Most accessories connect directly with proper plugs. The rear camera may require connecting to your reverse light for automatic switching (basic wiring knowledge helpful). We include all necessary connectors and clear instructions.

    The Hyundai i30, since its first appearance, has cemented its role as a vehicle defined by practicality, reliability, and modernity. Embracing a journey marked by continuous transformation, the i30 notably balances utility with refined design, creating a global reputation as a versatile, capable hatchback that resonates deeply across consumer markets.

    Historical Journey: Tracing the Hyundai i30

    First Generation Hyundai i30 FD (2007 - 2012):

    The initial introduction of the Hyundai i30 (codename FD) in 2007 represented a meaningful step forward for Hyundai, particularly in the highly competitive European hatchback segment. The car brought with it a contemporary, clean design language known for graceful subtleties, departing from Hyundai's previously conservative styling conventions. Its friendly silhouette, solid build quality, sensible proportions, and practical cabin layout promptly received positive recognition.

    Engineered predominantly at Hyundai’s European design centre in Germany, the FD i30 targeted discerning European tastes, though its commendable attributes translated well into wider global appeal. It came under different variants and names across various markets—known as the Hyundai Elantra Touring in North America, and domestically in South Korea marketed as the Hyundai i30, emphasizing unification of brand identity across divergent market preferences.

    Drivers greatly valued the first-generation i30 for several key aspects. Fuel-efficient petrol and diesel engine line-ups, excellent handling thanks to responsive suspension tuning, commendable interior build quality, and comprehensive safety features contributed significantly toward its reputation. Available transmissions included both manual and automatic variants, with many users particularly fond of the engaging and reliably responsive manual shift. Meanwhile, the practical five-door hatchback format and subsequent arrival of the wagon variant reinforced Hyundai’s reputation as a producer of versatile vehicles capable of meeting varying lifestyle requirements.

    Second Generation Hyundai i30 GD (2012 - 2017):

    Building upon its predecessor’s success, Hyundai unveiled the second generation i30—known internally as GD. More dramatic exterior styling harmonized fluidic design elements, emphasizing dynamic curves and sculpted details. The interior also evolved distinctly, featuring improved materials quality, upgraded convenience options, and enhanced cabin ergonomics. In addition, significant advances came in powertrain refinement, ride comfort, and safety equipment availability—increasing consumer confidence and enhancing overall driving enjoyment.

    Third Generation Hyundai i30 PD (2017 - Present):

    Now on its third generation, the Hyundai i30 (PD) manifests continued evolution, highlighting sharper and more athletic aesthetics, advanced technology integrations, efficient turbocharged engines, and substantial expansion of safety and convenience features. Sub-models such as the high-performance "i30 N" have further elevated the model line’s status, demonstrating Hyundai's forward-looking ambition and ongoing commitment to product excellence.

    Enhancing Connectivity with A Compatible Infotainment System from Brummstadt:

    The original first-generation Hyundai i30 FD, while praised for its practicality and versatility, offers substantial possibilities for modernization to suit contemporary driving expectations, particularly concerning infotainment and connectivity functions. Brummstadt’s custom-designed premium head unit provides an ideal addition, enriching the driving and ownership experience significantly.

    Infotainment Features and Practical Advantages:

    This premium head unit integrates cutting-edge technology that significantly upgrades existing factory audio and connectivity systems. It accommodates both wired and wireless operations for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, allowing drivers instant access to their preferred apps, contacts, and navigational aids. This instant connection—compatible with popular navigation apps such as Apple Maps, Google Maps or WAZE—assures convenience, practical usefulness, and peace of mind whether during everyday commuting or longer journeys.

    For example, envision an evening gathering at a restaurant. Afterwards, connecting a smartphone routes directions automatically via wireless Apple CarPlay or Android Auto directly onto the head unit. Navigation prompts route clearly onto the dashboard screen for a smooth, stress-free journey to a subsequent destination—a convenient benefit frequently appreciated by busy families, individuals, or professionals.

    Furthermore, optional 1080p HD front and rear camera installations facilitate improved visibility and enable secure video recordkeeping—valuable in protecting drivers in case of unforeseen road incidents. Beyond practicality and safety arrays, entertainment dimensions are thoughtfully expanded; for example, USB joystick compatibility enables intuitive multiplayer gaming directly through the head unit itself—especially beneficial for family or extended road trips, transforming routine traveling experiences into memorable shared interludes.

    Modern-day smart voice integration also provides appreciable convenience. Users leverage simple voice commands to manage navigation, music, incoming communications, or even remotely control home integration setups. Commands like "Hey Siri! Turn on the porch lights" reveal how the infusion of intelligent connectivity can simplify journeys and integrate seamlessly into daily lifestyles, reducing stress while adding substantial functionality and comfort.

    Core Benefits & Driving Experience:

    Throughout its production span, the Hyundai i30 FD series consistently showcased commendable practicality, efficiency, driving engagement, and interior refinement—all central reasons for its enduring appeal. Precise steering feedback, balanced chassis tuning, composed ride comfort, high-quality engines, affordable servicing costs, and excellent reliability records assured driver satisfaction across years of everyday ownership.

    The addition of thoughtfully chosen infotainment solutions greatly elevates satisfying modern expectations for connectivity, convenience, navigation, safety, and entertainment. Combined, these attributes enhance this accomplished hatchback platform's enduring appeal, substantially increasing its daily usability and enjoyment. Brummstadt head units specifically accomplish these goals, thoughtfully integrating contemporary convenience features without sacrificing the inherent qualities that made the original Hyundai i30 beloved among drivers worldwide.

    Through informed evolution, practical design refinements, and strategic enhancements, the first-generation Hyundai i30 FD remains a vehicle celebrated as much for its historical significance within Hyundai’s timeline as for offering enduring relevance in today’s consumer expectations.

    “A car is not just a tool — it’s an experience waiting to happen.”
    – Ken Block, World-renowned rally driver and viral motorsport icon


    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.
