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 Hyundai i30, since its first appearance, has cemented its role as a vehicle defined by practicality, reliability, and modernity. Embracing a journey marked by continuous transformation, the i30 notably balances utility with refined design, creating a global reputation as a versatile, capable hatchback that resonates deeply across consumer markets.
Historical Journey: Tracing the Hyundai i30
First Generation Hyundai i30 FD (2007 - 2012):
The initial introduction of the Hyundai i30 (codename FD) in 2007 represented a meaningful step forward for Hyundai, particularly in the highly competitive European hatchback segment. The car brought with it a contemporary, clean design language known for graceful subtleties, departing from Hyundai's previously conservative styling conventions. Its friendly silhouette, solid build quality, sensible proportions, and practical cabin layout promptly received positive recognition.
Engineered predominantly at Hyundai’s European design centre in Germany, the FD i30 targeted discerning European tastes, though its commendable attributes translated well into wider global appeal. It came under different variants and names across various markets—known as the Hyundai Elantra Touring in North America, and domestically in South Korea marketed as the Hyundai i30, emphasizing unification of brand identity across divergent market preferences.
Drivers greatly valued the first-generation i30 for several key aspects. Fuel-efficient petrol and diesel engine line-ups, excellent handling thanks to responsive suspension tuning, commendable interior build quality, and comprehensive safety features contributed significantly toward its reputation. Available transmissions included both manual and automatic variants, with many users particularly fond of the engaging and reliably responsive manual shift. Meanwhile, the practical five-door hatchback format and subsequent arrival of the wagon variant reinforced Hyundai’s reputation as a producer of versatile vehicles capable of meeting varying lifestyle requirements.
Second Generation Hyundai i30 GD (2012 - 2017):
Building upon its predecessor’s success, Hyundai unveiled the second generation i30—known internally as GD. More dramatic exterior styling harmonized fluidic design elements, emphasizing dynamic curves and sculpted details. The interior also evolved distinctly, featuring improved materials quality, upgraded convenience options, and enhanced cabin ergonomics. In addition, significant advances came in powertrain refinement, ride comfort, and safety equipment availability—increasing consumer confidence and enhancing overall driving enjoyment.
Third Generation Hyundai i30 PD (2017 - Present):
Now on its third generation, the Hyundai i30 (PD) manifests continued evolution, highlighting sharper and more athletic aesthetics, advanced technology integrations, efficient turbocharged engines, and substantial expansion of safety and convenience features. Sub-models such as the high-performance "i30 N" have further elevated the model line’s status, demonstrating Hyundai's forward-looking ambition and ongoing commitment to product excellence.
Enhancing Connectivity with A Compatible Infotainment System from Brummstadt:
The original first-generation Hyundai i30 FD, while praised for its practicality and versatility, offers substantial possibilities for modernization to suit contemporary driving expectations, particularly concerning infotainment and connectivity functions. Brummstadt’s custom-designed premium head unit provides an ideal addition, enriching the driving and ownership experience significantly.
Infotainment Features and Practical Advantages:
This premium head unit integrates cutting-edge technology that significantly upgrades existing factory audio and connectivity systems. It accommodates both wired and wireless operations for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, allowing drivers instant access to their preferred apps, contacts, and navigational aids. This instant connection—compatible with popular navigation apps such as Apple Maps, Google Maps or WAZE—assures convenience, practical usefulness, and peace of mind whether during everyday commuting or longer journeys.
For example, envision an evening gathering at a restaurant. Afterwards, connecting a smartphone routes directions automatically via wireless Apple CarPlay or Android Auto directly onto the head unit. Navigation prompts route clearly onto the dashboard screen for a smooth, stress-free journey to a subsequent destination—a convenient benefit frequently appreciated by busy families, individuals, or professionals.
Furthermore, optional 1080p HD front and rear camera installations facilitate improved visibility and enable secure video recordkeeping—valuable in protecting drivers in case of unforeseen road incidents. Beyond practicality and safety arrays, entertainment dimensions are thoughtfully expanded; for example, USB joystick compatibility enables intuitive multiplayer gaming directly through the head unit itself—especially beneficial for family or extended road trips, transforming routine traveling experiences into memorable shared interludes.
Modern-day smart voice integration also provides appreciable convenience. Users leverage simple voice commands to manage navigation, music, incoming communications, or even remotely control home integration setups. Commands like "Hey Siri! Turn on the porch lights" reveal how the infusion of intelligent connectivity can simplify journeys and integrate seamlessly into daily lifestyles, reducing stress while adding substantial functionality and comfort.
Core Benefits & Driving Experience:
Throughout its production span, the Hyundai i30 FD series consistently showcased commendable practicality, efficiency, driving engagement, and interior refinement—all central reasons for its enduring appeal. Precise steering feedback, balanced chassis tuning, composed ride comfort, high-quality engines, affordable servicing costs, and excellent reliability records assured driver satisfaction across years of everyday ownership.
The addition of thoughtfully chosen infotainment solutions greatly elevates satisfying modern expectations for connectivity, convenience, navigation, safety, and entertainment. Combined, these attributes enhance this accomplished hatchback platform's enduring appeal, substantially increasing its daily usability and enjoyment. Brummstadt head units specifically accomplish these goals, thoughtfully integrating contemporary convenience features without sacrificing the inherent qualities that made the original Hyundai i30 beloved among drivers worldwide.
Through informed evolution, practical design refinements, and strategic enhancements, the first-generation Hyundai i30 FD remains a vehicle celebrated as much for its historical significance within Hyundai’s timeline as for offering enduring relevance in today’s consumer expectations.
