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 Honda Civic occupies a distinguished place among automotive circles worldwide—a legacy shaped by reliability, innovation, and thoughtful refinement. To deeply appreciate the ninth-generation Honda Civic range released between 2012 and 2015, one must understand how preceding generations paved its path, steadily sculpting it into the respected sedan and hatchback it has become.
Historical Evolution of the Honda Civic:
First Generation Civic (1972-1979):
The Honda Civic debuted in the early 1970s—a small, innovative vehicle inline with shifting demands for fuel efficiency and reliability during the energy crisis. Immediately popular for its practicality, smooth engines, and comfortable ride despite compact dimensions, the initial Civic quickly made a lasting global impression.
Second Generation Civic (1980-1983):
Honda built upon early achievements, presenting refinements in performance, cabin comfort, and enhanced styling. The second iteration added greater space, improved handling, and better overall practicality, winning over countless drivers by providing quality engineering at accessible pricing. In markets worldwide, particularly North America and Asia-Pacific, its dependability underpinned Civic's continued growth in popularity.
Third Generation Civic (1984-1987):
The mid-1980s showcased considerable advancements. Features like groundbreaking fuel-injection technology enhanced fuel economy and engine performance significantly. With sleeker aerodynamic styling and refined chassis design, Civic attained a more profound driving sophistication, earning loyal followings for practicality and enjoyable driving.
Fourth Generation Civic (1988-1991):
Known widely by enthusiasts globally due to impressive handling capabilities and lively engine options, including the admired VTEC technology, this generation Civic particularly appealed to those seeking small car agility alongside compelling performance.
Fifth & Sixth Generations civic (1992-2000):
Throughout the 1990s, Civic's broadening appeal gave rise to models ranging from conservative to sporty hatchbacks, coupes, and sedans. Introduced during these phases, innovative safety enhancements, modern design cues, and performance options maintained Civic as consistently relevant across multiple consumer segments, solidifying its legacy globally.
Seventh & Eighth Generation Civic (2001-2011):
In early 2000s, the Civic increasingly embraced diversity, offering enhanced safety features, efficient new engines, improved chassis dynamics, and extensive interior refinement. Particularly noteworthy was the eighth generation (2006-2011), famous internationally for its bold futuristic design in North America, simultaneously marketed alongside an aesthetic European hatchback variant ensuring global popularity. Durability, practicality, and tech-centric interiors solidified Civic’s standing into the modern era.
The Ninth Generation Honda Civic (2012-2015):
Launching as the ninth iteration, the Honda Civic for 2012-2015 carefully combined proven strengths with fresh enhancements. Available in multiple body styles including sedan and coupe variants noted in Australia and North America, as well as the prominent hatchback mostly celebrated throughout Europe, Civic’s ninth generation held distinctive identity regionally. Featuring aerodynamic efficiency, refined interior spaces, notably improved NVH (noise, vibration, harshness) refinement, and upgraded fuel-efficient engines, this Civic generation reliably served global commuters and urban drivers that sought comfort without sacrificing economy or practicality.
Notable technology also saw substantial progress, introduced through HondaLink infotainment and navigation systems, providing increased connectivity attracting tech-forward drivers. Honda’s intuitive cabin ergonomics, supportive seating, impressive cabin quality, responsive chassis handling, and commendable fuel economy ensured broad appeal. Owners enjoyed a blend of economically minded transport paired with driving satisfaction.
Enhancing Civic Driving Experience through Product Integration — Brummstadt premium head unit:

Brummstadt provides a dedicated premium head unit meticulously tailored for seamless dashboard fitment in ninth-generation Honda Civics, featuring extensive compatibility with wired and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto technology.
Enjoyment of smartphone-native navigational convenience through widely trusted maps such as Google Maps, WAZE, or Apple Maps represent considerable advantages supplied through this upgrade.

Upon setting out to visit close friends later, those navigational preferences preset using a smartphone immediately appear vividly and intuitively via wireless connectivity on the head unit’s clear display. This integration significantly streamlines transitions from leisurely events to evening commutes in both familiar and unfamiliar terrain, bringing pleasurable convenience into complimenting daily moments.
Additionally, integrating Brummstadt’s optional high-resolution 1080p front and rear camera modules significantly enhances driving safety and operational awareness. Beyond mere reversing aids, integrated dash-camera recording functions safeguard owners, allowing trusted evidence in precarious driving situations.
Leisureful road trips become engaging experiences beyond passive media consumption; Brummstadt’s unit supports joystick connectivity via USB, bringing multiplayer gaming directly into journeys—transforming the Civic cabin into a hub of enjoyable passenger interaction. Intelligent smart voice integration also spells further convenience; modern voice assistants seamlessly accessible through this upgraded infotainment handle needed travel adjustments or media playback remotely. Furthermore, compatible smart home integration allows pre-arrival adjustments at one’s residence, such as activating lighting or home climate controls, all without diverting driver attention from safe forward focus.
Advantages & Benefits of the Ninth-Generation Honda Civic (2012-2015):
The ninth-generation Civic embodies maturity in Honda’s pursuit of global compact-car excellence. Its broadly proven appeal—fuel economy, trusted Honda durability, agile and responsive handling manners, user-friendly instrumentation, practical interior configurations, and commendable safety scores—rightly earned a respected place across international markets.
Augmented by strategic aftermarket installation, modern infotainment units further rejuvenate these models beyond original showroom offerings. Owners embracing comprehensive media connectivity unlock contemporary digital amenities otherwise absent from standard equipped units existing originally. Such personalized enhancement delivers compelling rewards—improved navigation experiences, digital entertainment options on long journeys and day-to-day commutes, superior safety visibility, interactive entertainment capabilities for passengers, and comfort-inducing intelligent integration into daily schedules.
Ultimately, investing thoughtfully in specialized infotainment replacements naturalizes aging ninth-generation Civic models within modern driver preferences. Beyond already-proven qualities present in reliable engineering and performance efficiency, owners equipping Civic’s cabin with integrated apple CarPlay, android compatibility, and innovative tech-oriented conveniences discover meaningful enrichment within everyday automotive encounters.
