    • 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 Mazda 3, also recognized in the Japanese domestic market as the Mazda Axela, stands as a testament to innovative engineering and design sophistication. Initially introduced and widely celebrated for seamlessly combining an engaging driving experience with practical everyday usability, the vehicle has consistently earned widespread popularity across global markets in Asia, Australia, Europe, and North America, albeit with slight variations in trims and specifications suited to regional tastes.

    Historical Progression of the Mazda 3 Series:

    First Generation Mazda 3 BK (2003 – 2009):
    Launched into the global automotive landscape in 2003, the original Mazda 3 replaced the earlier Mazda Familia/323 line, quickly capturing attention for dynamic handling, attractive styling, and overall reliability. Its relatively agile and spirited character differentiated it significantly from many compact competitors, earning admiration from global markets, particularly in Australia, Europe, and North America. The first-generation Mazda 3 developed a solid fan base due to its responsive driving dynamics, fuel-efficient engines, and thoughtfully designed interior that provided balanced practicality and comfort.

    Second Generation Mazda 3 BL (2009 – 2013):
    Building on its predecessor’s strengths, the second generation advanced considerably regarding both road manners and refinement. Mazda adopted more aggressive and expressive styling cues, following their evolving design philosophy. While performance and handling remained a consistent hallmark, the BL series noticeably improved the cabin quality, technology, safety equipment, and ride comfort. Its popularity flourished internationally as drivers and critics appreciated the harmonious blend of sporty character, efficiency, and an enhanced overall driving experience.

    Third Generation Mazda 3 BM/BN Axela (2013 – 2018):
    Debuting in late 2013, the Mazda 3 BM series received significant acclaim for further elevating Mazda’s renowned "KODO: Soul of Motion" design theme. Striking curves, sweeping lines, and a sculpted form created a particularly elegant and contemporary exterior that stood distinctly apart from traditionally conservative compact-class rivals.

    The Mazda 3 BM era further introduced SkyActiv engineering—Mazda’s holistic approach to improving fuel efficiency, responsiveness, handling, and chassis rigidity—making the driving dynamics notably refined. While some international markets know this generation by variant name (BM early-period; BN facelift-period), the Japanese domestic market commonly retains the Axela name, continuing a heritage closely bonded with Mazda's domestic identity.

    Key highlights of the Mazda 3 BM Axela era included advanced driving dynamics, exceptional fuel economy, balanced handling attributes, and streamlined interiors featuring enhanced ergonomics and comfortable cabin designs. Its internal ambiance further benefited from noise reduction and improved materials. Moreover, advanced safety technology like blind-spot monitoring, lane departure warnings, and automatic braking systems placed the Mazda 3 BM as an appealing mixture of style, practicality, safety, comfort, and connectivity.

    Complementing the Mazda 3 with Modern Infotainment Integration:

    Although renowned for quality manufacturing and thoughtful engineering, the Mazda 3 BM generation’s original infotainment options provided basic connectivity and functionalities compared to current more digitally oriented user expectations. Now, recognizing the essential role modern technology plays in driving enjoyment and practicality, aftermarket installations, such as Brummstadt’s premium head unit upgrade kit, offer substantial improvements over original factory entertainment systems.

    Specifically designed to integrate smoothly within the vehicle dashboard and maintain familiarity with Mazda’s original interior styling, this aftermarket head unit offers sophisticated connectivity options—including reliable wired and convenient wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility.

    The unit’s seamless smartphone integration allows drivers easy access to popular navigation apps—Google Maps, Apple Maps, and WAZE—providing invaluable navigational clarity and convenience. Imagine an evening spent enjoying a quiet dinner with family or friends; afterward, effortlessly accessing route directions through the phone before leaving the table. Upon entering the car, these directions transfer automatically via CarPlay or Android Auto onto the high-quality widescreen head unit display, simplifying the transition from dinner to the drive home—even in unfamiliar locations.

    Additionally, this premium system supports optional 1080p HD front and rear cameras with recording functionalities—a valuable, safety-minded consideration that provides additional advantages for monitoring and capturing unexpected driving scenarios on camera, affording greater security, visibility, and evidence if necessary.

    Beyond navigation and media, the upgrade elevates the automotive experience through creatively designed family-friendly entertainment possibilities. Multi-player gaming becomes possible by directly connecting compatible joysticks via the integrated USB ports—making long journeys or waiting periods pleasant and enjoyable moments for passengers.

    Furthermore, intuitive intelligent voice commands provided by modern smartphone assistants extend dramatically beyond hands-free calling or music selection. For example, drivers or passengers might issue a simple voice command to Siri or Google Assistant like, "turn on the porch lights," in preparation for arriving home—a thoughtful integration of vehicle connectivity seamlessly connected to smart home practices that simplifies daily routines and enhances safety and convenience.

    Benefits of Upgrading the Mazda 3 BM/ Axela Experience:

    Appreciated globally, the Mazda 3 BM series is undeniably valued for the meticulous balance between spirited performance, elegant styling, fuel efficiency, road comfort, and advanced safety considerations. By integrating modernized aftermarket infotainment solutions, owners optimize driving satisfaction significantly. Technological compatibility with contemporary smartphones, increased entertainment options, intuitive voice control, and navigation improvements elevate the meaningful aspects of everyday driving for both drivers and passengers.

    This convergence between an already sophisticated model such as Mazda 3 BM Axela, and modern aftermarket infotainment solutions available at Brummstadt, ensures owners remain connected seamlessly to everyday digital lifestyles, while ensuring improved convenience, functional flexibility, and pleasure derived from their driving environment.

    Overall, the Mazda 3 BM Axela epitomizes automotive innovation, engineering refinement, and carefully considered craftsmanship, ensuring an inspired driving experience that continues to emotionally connect deeply with appreciative owners worldwide.
