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 Odyssey holds a distinct position within the automotive landscape, admired globally for its practicality, thoughtful design, and unwavering reliability. Celebrated as one of the quintessential family-oriented vehicles, throughout its lengthy tenure from its initial launch toward current versions, the Odyssey brings forward consistent innovation, convenience, and refinement. To fully understand and appreciate the prominence of the 2014-2020 Odyssey models, journeying through the vehicle’s evolution from inception to modern refinement provides essential context.
Historical Progression of the Honda Odyssey:
First Generation (1994–1998):
Introduced as Honda's initial foray into the burgeoning minivan segment, the first-generation Odyssey offered compact dimensions, efficient use of space, and sedan-like driving characteristics that stood apart from larger, truck-based competitors of the time. Featuring rear swing-out doors instead of sliding ones in North America, it was a revolutionary choice in convenience and maneuverability, powering subsequent prominence in family-centered buying decisions globally.
Second Generation (1999–2004):
Expanding significantly in size and capabilities, the second-generation Odyssey entered the North American market with sliding doors, more powerful V6 engines, and an innovative flat-folding rear seat—a concept that became immensely popular. Reaping rewards from enhanced versatility and passenger transport convenience, this model became renowned as a resilient family transporter, cementing Odyssey's name within household familiarity.
Third Generation (2005–2010):
Further advancements in ride refinement, space versatility, and interior ergonomics inspired loyalty from families appreciating comfort on long trips. Its quiet, well-appointed cabin, supple ride, and efficient handling earned it widespread acclaim, establishing benchmarks for competing minivans. Introduction of forward-thinking safety technologies made traveling more secure, greatly benefiting family-oriented drivers.
Fourth Generation (2011–2017, including the 2014-2017 model):
Significantly elevating the model's sophistication, the fourth-generation Honda Odyssey refined interior versatility further, introducing wider entertainment screens, premium audio systems, tri-zone automatic climate control, and thoughtful space planning. Its renowned 3.5-liter V6 engine offered refined power alongside improved fuel economy, well-positioned within a competitive market. Vital features like Honda's LaneWatch blind-spot system, forward collision warnings, and advanced navigation set new standards for driver confidence and comfort. During its mid-cycle refresh in 2014, the Odyssey gained subtle yet meaningful enhancements, including updated styling, improved interior materials, and additional technological upgrades, fondly increasing its appeal among large families.
Fifth Generation (2018–Present, including 2018-2020 models):
Starting from model year 2018, Honda thoroughly reimagined the Odyssey, further refining comfort, technology, safety, and dynamic performance. New exterior styling complemented advanced safety assistance packages—including adaptive cruise control, lane-keep assist, and automated emergency braking becoming standard or widely available. Enhanced digital instrumentation, improved multimedia connectivity, and smartphone integration bolstered its position among family drivers seeking convenience, connectivity, and safety assurance. Thoughtful interior touches like the Magic Slide second-row seats accentuated Odyssey’s practicality and adaptability, well suiting varied family lifestyles.
Enhancing Convenience through Intelligent Technology Integration:
A significant factor elevating enjoyment and ease-of-use within the Honda Odyssey (2014-2020) relates to upgrading the baseline infotainment setup with carefully selected compatible accessories. Driven in part by changing technology expectations among families, a premium infotainment solution offered by Brummstadt provides a timely and thoughtful option. Designed to seamlessly integrate into the 2014-2020 Odyssey dashboard, this system replaces the standard radio with a high-quality infotainment head unit featuring Wired and Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility.
Embracing smartphone connectivity positions this well-crafted head unit as a pivotal update, simplifying routine journeys and streamlining family outings. Supporting essential mobile navigation apps such as Google Maps, Apple Maps or WAZE, the Brummstadt head unit welcomes intuitive navigation with clear, user-friendly visual interfaces. For instance, picture a scenario involving a leisurely evening dinner with close friends or family: destinations are effortlessly inputted via smartphone applications in advance, automatically transferring to the head unit’s CarPlay or Android Auto-enabled interface upon the vehicle’s ignition. The transition from dinner tables to destination becomes seamless, providing calm confidence through straightforward navigation displayed on vivid, responsive screens.
An available supplementary upgrade incorporating dual (front and rear) 1080p HD cameras further enhances safety. These cameras offer greater authority over parking maneuvers or traffic incidents by providing sharp, high-definition visual coverage backed by continuous recording capabilities—adding a protective layer valuable to family drivers.
Entertainment functionality advances considerably, broadening onboard enjoyment during long journeys. Incorporation of gaming via USB-connected joystick controllers introduces an engaging family-focused environment, converting travel time into delightful, shared moments. Furthermore, intelligent voice controls embedded in the system permit hands-free management of communication, navigation, music playback, and even remote smart home interactions—allowing, for example, convenient voice-controlled commands such as "Hey Siri, turn on porch lights," welcoming families arriving home after dark.
