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 Kia Carnival, globally recognized for its role as a versatile and dependable minivan, has consistently appealed to families and businesses prioritizing cabin space, practicality, and reliability. Known as the Kia Sedona in markets like North America, while referenced as the Carnival in countries such as Australia, Europe, and Asia, it has evolved carefully over subsequent generations. With the aim to better understand the distinct appeal and characteristics of the 2006-2014 Kia Grand Carnival model generation, it's important to examine its historical context and evolutionary milestones.
Historical Overview & Evolution of Kia Carnival:
First Generation (1998–2005): Foundation of Versatile Family Travel
Introduced globally as a budget-conscious family van, the Kia Carnival quickly found widespread acceptance due to its spaciousness, dependable build quality, and attractive affordability. It catered comfortably to growing families and businesses alike, thanks to its generous cabin design and practical functionality. Offered primarily with reliable V6 petrol and diesel engines, it garnered respect for smoothly balancing passenger comfort, cargo versatility, and overall driving practicality. Its practicality positioned Kia's growing reputation for delivering value-focused alternatives in the global automotive market.
Second Generation (2006–2014): Refinement & Comfort with the Grand Carnival
Upon the series' refresh in 2006, the Kia Carnival entered its second generation with significant updates. Known as the Kia Sedona in the United States and Canada, the model became officially marketed as the "Kia Grand Carnival" in places like Australia, embracing more sophisticated styling, substantial improvements in passenger comfort, refinement, and mechanical advancement. This generation prominently featured larger body dimensions, enhanced interior quality, smoother handling characteristics, improved ride comfort, and quieter cabin ambiance—making it a favored choice in markets targeting growing families seeking reliable passenger transport.
Engine selection for this era notably included reputable and durable engines such as the 2.9L CRDi Turbo Diesel (widely appreciated in Australian and European markets for its balanced power and fuel efficiency) and petrol-powered alternatives such as the reliable 3.8L V6. The highly recommended diesel powertrain earned particular acclaim due to its smooth torque delivery, towing capability, economical fuel consumption, and dependable reliability—essential advantages for drivers requiring consistent practicality.
Interior ergonomics also advanced notably with increased cabin space, flexible seating configurations, practical convenience features, climate-controlled zones, and accessibility enhancements. Safety attributes likewise evolved positively, offering improved passive and active safety measures—earning recognition and consumer trust consistently across global markets.
Third Generation (2015 onwards): Contemporary Family Travel Reimagined
The Grand Carnival's successor, starting from 2015, further elevated sophistication, style, and technology. Incorporating considerable design refinements, improved build quality, advanced safety features, and more intuitive infotainment, Kia's minivan firmly staked its claim as a modern vehicle appealing strongly to wider audiences demanding both style and function. Yet, despite later-generation improvements in technology, the durable popularity and reliability legacy of the second-generation Kia Carnival (2006–2014) remain iconic and well-regarded.
Modern Infotainment Integration via Brummstadt Head Unit:
In recognition of the increasing role technology plays in daily automotive experience—particularly within a healthcare, business, or family-centric scenario—the Kia Carnival (2006–2014) significantly benefits from updated infotainment accessibility. Brummstadt addresses precisely such technological aspirations, offering a premium head unit specifically designed for seamless installation into this generation Carnival, replacing the vehicle’s original infotainment and audio unit to deliver contemporary capabilities demanded by modern drivers.
This upgraded infotainment system fully integrates Apple CarPlay and Android Auto functionality, whether wired or wirelessly. The convenience of smartphone compatibility significantly transforms everyday commuting, allowing drivers and passengers seamless access to smartphone apps through a generous touchscreen interface. Popular navigation applications like Google Maps, Apple Maps, and WAZE display clearly and responsively, proving essential in varied driving situations—be it commuting through unfamiliar city streets or traveling leisurely along country roads.
An illustrative scenario emphasizes this convenience: after an enjoyable dinner gathering with family, the next plan involves driving promptly to a close friend's home. Conveniently, smartphone-based navigation routes set ahead of time via a user's personal phone instantly transition onto the unit’s touchscreen through wireless CarPlay or Android Auto integration upon entering the car. Thus, journeys become stress-free, intuitive, and safe, enriching the overall travel experience.
Brummstadt's head unit further expands practicality by providing an available 1080p HD front-and-rear camera upgrade with continuous recording capabilities. This available camera system distinctly aids maneuverability, enhancing situational awareness and providing documented security, particularly beneficial for large family vehicles commonly used in busy urban traffic situations.
The system also thoughtfully acknowledges the value of onboard entertainment during extended family travel. Supporting multiplayer games connected directly through USB cables with joysticks and controllers, travel transforms into worthwhile shared experiences. Additionally, intelligent voice command integration—compatible with smart assistants such as Siri and Google Assistant—not only enables safe and intuitive control of music playback, navigation prompts, or answering calls, but even remotely engages smart home devices (such as activating exterior home lighting en route).
Driving Experience and Advantages of the Kia Carnival (2006–2014):
Known for comfortably balancing passenger space, versatility, and robust reliability, the Kia Grand Carnival second generation remains notably appreciated in the used-car market. Renowned for the refinement and smoothness of its diesel drivetrains, generous seating capacities (up to eight passengers comfortably), attractive passenger-oriented interior design, and proven long-term reliability, it remains a trusted choice among large families and fleet operators alike.
With gradual appreciation of technology’s importance integrated into everyday driving routines, careful selection of suitably matched infotainment technology upgrades—such as the beautifully integrated CarPlay and Android Auto-compatible Brummstadt head unit—adds value and usability distinctly tangible within modern living scenarios. These user-designed enhancements naturally elevate travel experiences, delivering elevated practicality, convenience, enhanced navigational support, engaging onboard entertainment, and overall refined daily travel satisfaction for Kia Carnival owners.
