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.

Brummstadt RAM and SSD Storage Guide
Think of RAM as the workbench and SSD storage as the cupboard. RAM is the short term space where your Brummstadt Android head unit keeps apps open and responsive. SSD storage is the long term place for apps, offline maps, music, podcasts, dashcam clips, and system files. Android keeps a slice of RAM and SSD for the system so the usable amount is a bit less than the number on the box. That is normal and it keeps Bluetooth, GPS, voice control, and the launcher running smoothly.
CarPlay and Android Auto change the equation. With projection your phone does most of the heavy lifting while the head unit focuses on the screen, touch, sound, and microphone. If you mostly use Apple Maps, Google Maps, or Waze through CarPlay or Android Auto you do not need as much RAM or SSD because the apps run on the phone. If you prefer to run native Android apps on the head unit itself extra RAM and SSD give you more headroom and fewer reloads.
Real world stories
Sarah in Sydney is a projection first driver. She plugs in, opens CarPlay, and lives in Apple Maps and Apple Music. She takes calls, uses Siri for messages, and rarely opens anything on the head unit. For Sarah a modest 2 GB RAM and 32 GB SSD feels fine because her phone does the heavy work.
Dave the tradie is a maps first commuter. He uses Google Maps or Waze every day, streams Spotify, and jumps between calls and navigation. He wants quick app switching and a stable split between nav and music. Dave is better served by 4 GB RAM and 64 GB SSD. The extra RAM lets maps and music sit open together without stutter and the larger SSD leaves space for a few offline areas for longer drives between jobs.
Mia and Lucas are weekend tourers who like to get off the grid. Before a trip they download map regions for the state, save podcasts and playlists, and sometimes copy a few videos to watch at the campsite. Their unit feels happiest with 6 GB RAM and 128 GB SSD so navigation, music, and messages can run together with room to grow. If their model supports an SD card they move some media there so the internal SSD stays clear for apps.
Raj in Brisbane drives rideshare. He runs Google Maps, takes hands free calls, uses voice to reply to messages, watches the queue app, and likes split screen between maps and the job app. Raj benefits from 4 GB RAM and 64 GB SSD for dependable multitasking. If he adds an always on dashcam recorder or an OBD2 dashboard, stepping up to 6 GB and 128 GB keeps everything snappy.
Zoe the power user prefers native Android apps on the head unit. She runs maps in split screen with an OBD2 dashboard, keeps a dashcam recording to internal storage, and switches to a file manager or a browser while parked. This kind of multitasking thrives on 6 GB RAM so apps do not restart when she swaps between them. A 128 GB SSD gives room for recordings, large caches, and offline maps without constant clean ups.
The Nguyen family uses the unit for school runs and road trips. They want reliable calls, instant maps, and voice control. On holidays they add offline maps for multiple states and download kid friendly playlists. For daily life 4 GB RAM and 64 GB SSD is a sweet spot. For big trips they appreciate the extra margin of 6 GB and 128 GB.
Ethan is a casual gamer who only plays when parked. Games can store large assets and switching between a game, music, and a messaging app feels smoother with more RAM. Ethan chooses 6 GB and 128 GB so loading screens are shorter and the unit does not complain about space. Gaming should only happen when parked.
Simple selection guide
| Size | Best for | Why it fits | Storage pointers |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 GB RAM, 32 GB SSD | Projection first drivers who live in CarPlay or Android Auto | Phone runs the apps so the head unit shows the interface and routes audio | Keep few native apps, minimal downloads, add SD card for extra media if supported |
| 4 GB RAM, 64 GB SSD | Balanced daily use with maps, music, calls, and a handful of native apps | Extra RAM keeps maps and music active together with smooth switching | Room for several offline areas and playlists, tidy caches now and then |
| 6 GB RAM, 128 GB SSD | Heavy multitasking, offline tourers, power users, dashcam saving, split screen | Apps stay in memory while you swap tasks, guidance and prompts stay instant | Space for large offline maps, music libraries, and recordings without clean ups |
Notes: Android reserves part of RAM and storage for the system. CarPlay and Android Auto reduce demand on the head unit since apps run on the phone. If your model supports an SD card you can place offline maps and media there to free internal space for apps.

Historical Context of Toyota Aurion:
1. Toyota Aurion First Generation (XV40, 2006-2011):
Introduced primarily in Australia and parts of the Middle East and Asia, the Aurion was built on Toyota's reputable Camry platform with substantial engineering enhancements tailored to appeal specifically to Australian tastes—particularly higher power, handling refinements, and preeminent passenger comfort. Crafted to fill a niche between traditional midsize sedans and premium executive vehicles, the Aurion showcased a muscular yet sleek appearance, distinguished by strong lines, contemporary proportions, and gentle elegance.
Renowned particularly for its 3.5-litre V6 engine, the Aurion delivered convincing performance levels rarely matched within its category at that time. With an output of around 200 kW (268 hp) and torque figures exceeding 330 Nm, drivers appreciated its responsive acceleration, smoothness, and flexibility both on urban streets and highways. Coupled with a refined six-speed automatic transmission and tuned suspension tailored specifically for Australian road conditions, the Aurion possessed a balanced demeanor bridging comfort and spirited driving.
Notable trims and special editions—including the Sportivo, Presara, Prodigy, and AT-X models—appealed to different segments, from those who favored sporty dynamics and trims (Sportivo) to drivers inclined toward elegance, technology, and luxury comfort (Presara). The Aurion Presara, for example, stood out for its comprehensive safety equipment, comfort-driven features, premium upholstery, and subtle sophistication—earning admiration from drivers who found its completeness as an executive sedan thoroughly appealing.
2. Second-Generation Aurion (XV50, 2012-2017):
Following the success of the first series, the second generation Aurion further refined this formula. Retaining and updating the robust V6 powertrain and emphasizing quieter interiors, more advanced infotainment, and additional safety options, the Aurion evolved into a mature, luxurious sedan comfortably on par with pricier European brands. However, it is important to highlight the lasting appeal of the first generation as particularly appreciated by drivers due to its approachable robustness, proven durability, and attractive overall ownership experience.
Brummstadt Infotainment Upgrade:
Understanding owners' continued appreciation of the first-generation Aurion, Brummstadt provides an intelligently integrated premium head unit specifically suited for models from 2006 to 2011. Without redefining or radically altering the vehicle's elegance, the upgrade naturally complements the intrinsic sophistication and practicality of the Aurion.
The Brummstadt infotainment head unit seamlessly integrates advanced navigation and smartphone connectivity capabilities, allowing direct access to familiar smartphone-driven navigation platforms—including Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, both wired and wireless. Through intuitive connections to popular navigation apps such as Apple Maps, Google Maps, and WAZE, drivers substantially improve overall journey convenience. Imagine completing dinner with family or friends and deciding spontaneously to visit acquaintances: using the smartphone to rapidly set your destination, the directions automatically populate visually onto the head unit’s screen connected wirelessly through CarPlay or Android Auto. Drivers thus transition smoothly from the dining table directly into journeys without delay, complication, or distraction.
Available optionally with a 1080p high-definition camera upgrade for both front and rear, the Brummstadt infotainment system also introduces reassuring visibility and vehicle safety. Providing essential considerations such as parking assistance and comprehensive road incident documentation, Aurion owners effortlessly improve practical utility and increased peace of mind.
More uniquely engaging experiences are provided through versatile integration features. Passengers, for instance, can connect gaming controllers directly to the infotainment system through the conveniently placed USB ports, transforming lengthy drives into enjoyable multiplayer entertainment sessions. Beyond entertainment, the integration of smart voice assistants such as Siri or Google Assistant permits intuitive, secure control of calls, messaging, navigation, media selections, and even home automation. Envision returning home in the evenings and conveniently commanding via voice, "Hey Siri, switch on the outside lights," enhancing convenience and safety seamlessly and routinely.
Benefits, Advantages, and Overall Driving Experience:
The Toyota Aurion (2006-2011) represents an enviable blend of potent performance, discreet luxury, commendable reliability, and high build quality—characteristics appraised highly by owners across its life cycle. Reflecting Toyota’s commitment to reliability coupled with capable engineering, the Aurion confidently navigates both urban and highway journeys, comfortably carrying occupants in spacious interiors marked by sophisticated materials, convenient ergonomics, and generous appointments.
Selecting Brummstadt's head unit showcases a thoughtful, modern technological addition meticulously tailored to complement Aurion's inherent attributes, multiplying driving satisfaction, convenience, and connectivity. It propels the Aurion’s core experience with relevant innovation and functionality—respectfully continuing Toyota’s legacy of dependability and thoughtfulness while acknowledging owners’ evolving demands and needs.
Thus, with a well-considered addition from Brummstadt, the Toyota Aurion stands primed to remain deeply pleasing and exceptionally rewarding, confidently meeting the modern demands of connectivity while residing thoroughly rooted in Toyota’s cherished ideals of comfort, drivability, reliability, and accessible luxury.
