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)
Dead easy setup (honestly, 2 minutes):
- 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
- 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
- Clip it on: The rotatable clip grips tight - sun visor, A-pillar trim, wherever works for you. About 30cm from your mouth is perfect
- 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!
Rear View Camera Installation
For Brummstadt Cameras (Plug & Play):
- Mount camera above license plate using provided bracket
- Run the camera cable through rubber boot between car body and trunk/door
- Route cable under trim panels to head unit location
- Connect yellow RCA plug to CAM-IN on head unit
- 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)
- Connect black wire to chassis ground
- 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:
- 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)
- Mount antenna:
- Clean windscreen area (top corner recommended)
- Stick the film antenna to the glass
- Route cable along windscreen edge under trim
- Connect antenna to module: SMB connector clicks into place
- Activate in head unit: Open DAB+ app and scan for stations
- 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
- Position for best reception: Antenna works best with clear sky view
- Download app: Download a DAB+ app from the Google Play Store to start streaming digital radio
TPMS (Tyre Pressure Monitoring System)
External TPMS Installation (Valve Cap Type):
- 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!
- Connect USB receiver: Plug into available USB port on head unit
- 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
- Map sensors: Assign each sensor ID to correct wheel position (FL, FR, RL, RR)
- Set alerts: Configure pressure (typically 32-35 PSI) and temperature warnings
Internal TPMS Installation (Professional):
- 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)
- Connect USB receiver: Same as external - plug into USB port
- App configuration: Same apps work for both internal and external sensors
- 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)
Dual Camera Installation:
- Front Camera:
- Mount behind rearview mirror area
- Connect to dedicated front camera input on head unit
- Route cable along windscreen edge and A-pillar
- Rear Camera:
- Mount above license plate

Historical Context of the Ford Focus:
First Generation Ford Focus: 1998–2004 (Europe), 2000–2007 (North America and Australia)
The first-generation Focus marked a paradigm shift from the reliable but aging Ford Escort. Distinctive "New Edge" styling, precise handling, and engaging driving dynamics brought immediate acclaim in Europe, where the model gained widespread popularity among private customers and enthusiasts alike. In Australia and North America, the Focus offered a youthful presence, excellent practicality, and responsive road manners, rapidly solidifying itself as a staple car for consumers seeking efficiency, affordability, and driving enjoyment.
Second Generation (LS/LT; Australia), European Mk2 Series: 2004–2008
The second-generation Focus introduced enhanced comfort, refinement, and sophistication globally. Europe's Mk2 (LS/LT in Australian markets) provided significantly more spacious interiors, higher-quality materials, and a refined suspension that struck an optimal balance between spirited handling and superior comfort. Coupled with improved engine efficiency, this iteration found widespread favor among families, young professionals, and drivers prioritizing versatility without sacrificing driving pleasure.
LV Series Ford Focus (2008–2009, Australia):
Further refinement defined Australia's LV iteration. Featuring subtle exterior styling revisions—updated bumpers, grille, and headlights—it injected new freshness into a proven formula. Interior upgrades, improved build quality, and refined engines secured its reputation for comfortable day-to-day commuting and sophisticated highway cruising. Safety was prioritized, with higher-spec LV models equipped standard with stability control, more airbags, and improved braking systems.
LVII Series Ford Focus (2009–2011, Australia):
Built upon the LV foundations, the LVII offered strategic improvements aimed at further elevating the driving experience and cabin comfort. Exterior tweaks were subtle yet effectively modernized the car’s appearance without losing its essential identity. Enhanced standard equipment across trim levels—such as Bluetooth connectivity and upgraded audio systems—added genuine consumer-friendly appeal, solidifying the LVII’s compelling value proposition.
Global Variations:
Interestingly, the Ford Focus saw differing identities regionally. North America received distinct styling and trim levels, while Europe's Mk2 facelift closely mirrored Australia's LV/LVII series. This global diversification highlights Ford’s sensitivity toward meeting market-specific tastes, demands, and expectations for this global model, reinforcing its versatile character worldwide.
Integrating Modern Technology:
While carefully designed for the automotive realities of a decade ago, today the LV/LVII series benefits greatly from thoughtful technology upgrades. Brummstadt, recognized for crafting compatible infotainment units tailored for specific vehicle models, offers a premium head unit exceptionally suited to the Ford Focus LV and LVII (2008–2011). These units thoughtfully complement the vehicle’s interior aesthetic while integrating contemporary connectivity and convenience features for maximum utility and enjoyment.
Featuring wired and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, the upgrade closely aligns with user-friendly expectations. Popular navigation apps such as Google Maps and WAZE automatically stream seamlessly from mobile devices, facilitating a smooth driving transition. Imagine a scenario: after enjoying an evening meal accompanied by family or close friends, the host spontaneously suggests moving the gathering to their residence. With destination details already loaded via smartphone maps, navigation conveniently transitions directly onto the comprehensive head unit display upon entering the vehicle, minimizing confusion or unnecessary distraction.
Safety-conscious drivers appreciate the optional full HD 1080p front and rear camera system, reliably documenting travel and providing invaluable recording integrity in unpredictable circumstances. Beyond mere navigation and safety, entertainment potential broadens—connecting gaming controls via USB turns casual journeys into memorable interactions for all passengers. Furthermore, integrated smart voice control enhances convenience; interaction with popular virtual assistants (such as Siri or Google Assistant) enables in-vehicle voice commands for managing music, messages, calls, or even tasks within connected homes—activating porch lighting remotely during night-time arrivals being just one practical example.
Advantages of the Ford Focus LV and LVII Series:
Both LV and LVII Focus models offered distinct advantages highly appreciated by their owners:
Dynamic Performance:
Engaging steering, responsive handling, and spirited performance—particularly the popular petrol engine variants—earned praise from automotive journalists and everyday drivers alike. Efficient diesel options appealed to those valuing fuel economy and robust torque, further broadening the vehicle’s appeal.
Driver Comfort & Practicality:
Ergonomic seating arrangements, spacious cabin accommodations, ample boot capacity, and user-oriented interior design enhanced daily usability for families, commuters, and travelers. Refinement in ride quality, thoughtful cabin storage arrangements, and ease-of-use positioned the LV and LVII distinctly among compact-car competitors.
Safety & Reliability:
Standard safety features such as Stability Control (ESC), Anti-lock Braking (ABS), and multiple airbags emphasized Ford’s prioritization of driver and passenger safety. Recognized reliability further bolstered confidence—encouraging loyal relationships across long-term ownership experiences.
Advanced Infotainment Integration:
Updated infotainment options elevate inherent advantages provided by the LV/LVII series. Selecting modern head units that feature straightforward and intuitive operations adds additional useful functionalities aligned closely with expectations arising from contemporary driving experiences. Premium upgrades offer interfaces optimized specifically for compatibility, connectivity, and flexibility within today’s mobile-centric lifestyles—directly reflecting evolving consumer priorities.
In reflecting on the ongoing appreciation and legacy established through successive Ford Focus models, the LV and LVII series genuinely represent a refined chapter in compact automotive excellence. Each generation carefully honed practicality with dynamic enjoyment, subtly elevating the compact vehicle category overall. When thoughtfully augmented by modern infotainment technologies—such as those provided by Brummstadt—these cherished Focus models markedly contribute to enduring pride, practicality, safety, and daily enjoyment, solidifying their continued appeal in the automotive landscape.

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.
