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 Toyota Estima, known internationally as the Toyota Tarago in Australia and Toyota Previa in various other global markets, represents a renowned lineage of multi-purpose vehicles (MPVs), known for innovation, reliability, and comfort. Its hybrid variant, spanning model years 2010 through 2019, epitomizes Toyota's forward-thinking approach to on-road efficiency, practicality, and passenger-centric design. Exploring the Estima's long, distinguished evolution provides clarity on the enduring qualities that have maintained its popularity and esteem worldwide.
Evolving Excellence: A Historical Overview of the Toyota Estima
1. First Generation (XR10/XR20; 1990-1999):
Initially debuting in 1990, the first-gen Estima/Previa/Tarago was revolutionary in concept—offering futuristic aerodynamic styling, spacious cabin room, and mid-mounted engines equipped uniquely beneath vehicle floors, maximizing passenger comfort and interior space. Its robust, reliable engineering and groundbreaking design garnered acclaim globally, notably in the Japanese, North American, Australian, and European markets. Innovative features like full-time four-wheel-drive options solidified the Estima as an adaptable family transporter, popularizing the MPV segment worldwide.
2. Second Generation (XR30/XR40; 2000-2005):
With this iteration, Toyota responded to contemporary demands for increased versatility, economy, and refinement. Transitioning from mid-engine arrangements to more conventional front-engine configurations, the second generation provided easier maintenance, enhanced driving dynamics, improved fuel efficiency, and greater overall practicality. Advanced safety systems, upgraded suspension design, luxurious interiors, and user-friendly layouts greatly expanded its appeal, further strengthening its position among global MPVs.
3. Third Generation (XR50/XR55; 2006-2019) – Including the Estima Hybrid (AHR20W) models:
The third-generation Estima particularly highlighted Toyota’s commitment to ecological responsibility, practicality, and user-focused technological advancement. The Estima Hybrid, specifically produced from 2006 onwards and predominantly available to the Japanese domestic market (with selective import presence internationally), featured Toyota’s sophisticated Hybrid Synergy Drive system, known for reliability, exceptional fuel economy, low emissions, quiet driving experience, and substantial torque delivery. It merged environmental awareness, functionality, and comfort effectively—becoming a favored choice among families seeking extensive usability and eco-friendly transport solutions.
Distinguishing Qualities and Merits of the 2010-2019 Toyota Estima Hybrid:
The 2010-2019 Estima Hybrid enhanced Toyota's family MPV proposition with multiple technological and mechanical refinements. The exterior exhibited modern, aerodynamic curves characterized by elegant lines and stylish detailing—elements that not only contributed visual finesse but improved aerodynamic efficiencies, optimizing fuel economy and quietness. Inside, plush seating, intelligent storage solutions, high-quality cabin materials, refined sound insulation, and spacious designs demonstrated Toyota’s meticulous focus on driver and passenger comfort.
Performance-wise, the Estima Hybrid utilized Toyota’s proven hybrid drivetrain configurations combining dependable gasoline engines with electric motors, resulting in significant fuel savings without compromising power or responsiveness. Particularly noted was its ability to effortlessly transition between petrol and electric propulsion, significantly reducing emissions and fuel costs, thus satisfying a variety of drivers—from environmentally conscious urban families to long-distance travelers seeking efficient running costs.
Advanced safety technologies such as Vehicle Stability Control (VSC), multiple airbags systems, advanced collision-avoidance capabilities, and structural integrity contributed to superior occupant protection—further establishing Toyota Estima Hybrid’s reputation for reliability and safety.
Thoughtful Technology Integration: Brummstadt Premium Head Unit Collaboration
Integrating forward-looking connectivity and entertainment solutions considerably improves user satisfaction for Estima Hybrid owners. Reflecting modern consumer expectations, Brummstadt offers a tailored premium head unit that seamlessly matches the vehicle's dashboard design and integrates effectively within the Estima’s instrumentation aesthetics. Compatible with Estima’s original wiring, it introduces current technology paradigms, notably Apple CarPlay and Android Auto in both wired and wireless formats.
On typical family outings—such as enjoying dinner out together and spontaneously visiting friends—a driver can utilize their smartphone mapping apps like Google Maps, Apple Maps, or WAZE, presetting destinations conveniently on their personal devices. Once inside, the pre-selected journey smoothly transfers via Apple CarPlay or Android Auto wirelessly, appearing clearly on the upgraded head unit screen, allowing stress-free and confident navigation across unfamiliar routes.
Moreover, Brummstadt provides accessory options for enhancing vehicle safety with high-quality front and rear HD cameras capable of 1080p recording, significantly increasing driver awareness. This addition benefits urban maneuvering, parking confidence, and safety assessments, while also providing vital evidence recording for unforeseen scenarios. Entertainment-wise, the head unit smartly extends its functionality, enabling passengers’ gaming controllers directly via USB connections. This practical function assists in making drives engaging, relaxing, and socially interactive, particularly during recreational journeys or extended travel.
An additional convenience is intelligent voice control through established virtual assistants such as Siri or Google Assistant. This integration effortlessly manages navigation requests, make calls hands-free, select entertainment preferences, and uniquely offers home-bound smart appliance connections. Drivers returning home might comfortably request household tasks—such as activating porch lights ahead of arrival—a gesture that alleviates small stresses and exemplifies thoughtful user–vehicle synergy.
Elevating Driving Experiences and Owner Satisfaction:
The Toyota Estima Hybrid 2010-2019 clearly illustrates how automotive excellence arises from harmonizing practicality, efficiency, occupant comfort, environmental consciousness, and user-centric technological sophistication.
