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.

Hyundai’s ix35, known in some regions as the Tucson, exemplifies the manufacturer's strategic movement towards creating a stylish, affordable, and versatile compact SUV capable of meeting diverse drivers' expectations around the globe. Launched internationally as the successor to the Hyundai Tucson nameplate, the ix35 represented a fresh chapter that emphasized modern design, fuel economy, family practicality, and technological refinement during its production run from 2009 to 2015.
Historical Background and Model Evolution:
First Generation Hyundai Tucson (JM; 2004–2009)
Before the ix35, the international market knew Hyundai's compact SUV as the Tucson. At its initial launch in 2004, the Tucson quickly gained a favorable reputation for combining practical size and reliability with affordability and versatility. Offered initially with petrol and diesel engine alternatives, this early SUV positioned itself as an approachable yet capable option suited equally to city environments and occasional adventures off-road. Its solid reputation arose from dependable mechanical performance and a thoughtfully designed interior, tailored to families, young drivers, and those seeking utility without compromising everyday comfort.
Second Generation - Hyundai ix35 (LM; 2009–2015)
In 2009, Hyundai chose a significant shift by naming the second generation "ix35" for markets outside North America, including Australia, Europe, and several Asian regions. While North America retained the Tucson name, both variants shared core engineering fundamentals, albeit with mild styling and feature differences tailored to regional tastes.
Hyundai designed the ix35 specifically to suit drivers demanding elevated comfort, technology, practicality, and design. The vehicle represented Hyundai’s then-new "Fluidic Sculpture" design language, a philosophy highlighting dynamic shapes, sweeping curves, and aerodynamic efficiency. Offering improved ride quality, reduced NVH (noise, vibration, harshness) levels, and substantial interior refinements, the ix35 secured Hyundai's place firmly amid an ever-competitive compact SUV segment.
LM1 ix35 (2009–2013)
The initial ix35 LM1 release offered well-regarded engine options, including economical petrol and diesel engines whose power and efficiency appealed broadly to buyers in Australia and Europe. Enhanced cabin ergonomics, excellent cargo versatility, comfortable driver and passenger accommodations, and practical technologies positioned the model strongly among family car buyers.
LM2 ix35 Series 2 Facelift (2013–2015)
Hyundai refreshed the ix35 with its "Series 2" (LM2) update onwards from 2013, subtly fine-tuning exterior styling details including LED-accented lighting, revised grille treatment, and improved interior materials and ergonomics. Enhanced suspension refinements produced improved vehicle dynamics, offering smoother ride quality and assured handling, better suited to both urban and highway journeys. Additional driver-assistance options, upgraded multimedia interfaces, and incremental performance refinements further lifted the model’s desirability, appealing particularly to families and buyers prioritizing comfortable, reliable daily use with contemporary technology.
Product Integration - Brummstadt Premium Head Unit Upgrade
While Hyundai's original infotainment systems were adequate for their era, advancements in smartphone integration, in-car navigation reliability, and overall multimedia connectivity quickly shifted consumer expectations. To fully realize modern infotainment potentials, many ix35 drivers today look toward carefully designed aftermarket head units. One suitable example emerges notably from Brummstadt, designed explicitly to complement Hyundai ix35 (LM1 and LM2) models with thoughtful attention to integration ease and aesthetic harmony within the original dashboard architecture.
This Brummstadt premium head unit seamlessly supports both wired and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility. Owners can effortlessly utilize navigation applications such as Google Maps, Apple Maps, and WAZE, transitioning naturally from smartphone preparation directly onto the vivid, high-resolution head unit display. Imagine a relaxed dinner scenario: family members dine out, casually deciding afterward to visit friends. Before leaving the restaurant, they quickly select their friend's location via smartphone apps. As they enter the vehicle, the navigation interface appears effortlessly and wirelessly on the large Brummstadt head unit screen, ensuring an effortless transition from dining experience to relaxed car travel without inconvenience or distraction.
Furthermore, the Brummstadt unit promotes safety and peace-of-mind options through an available 1080p high-definition recording camera capability for both front and rear—supplying clarity, evidence preservation, practical parking aids, and optimized visibility on packed urban roads or during rural travels. Entertainment beyond audio and visual media also becomes possible, as the Brummstadt platform allows USB joystick controllers to connect comfortably, enlarging family road trips into engaging multiplayer gaming experiences directly via the clear infotainment display.
Moreover, its smart voice-control function leverages familiar assistants such as Siri and Google Assistant, effectively managing media playback volume, phone contact searching, navigation direction amendments, and even interactive connectivity with home automation systems. A simple spoken command such as "Hey Siri! Turn on porch lights" prepares homes for arrivals, demonstrating practical ways intuitive in-car technology comfortably integrates into daily lifestyles.
Significant Benefits and Overall Advantages
The Hyundai ix35 LM Series represents vehicles known primarily for family-friendly adaptability, practical cabin designs, balanced road performance, fuel-efficient engine options, and visually appealing styling. For owners, everyday satisfaction centers on comfortable journeys, reliability, versatile cargo management, and thoughtful ergonomics. Hyundai's engineering provided remarkable durability and dependability in demanding everyday usage scenarios, cementing owner affection and boosting customer satisfaction and loyalty significantly.
Beyond original factory standards, aftermarket integration of modern head-unit systems especially adds considerable value. Contemporary interfaces, consistently updated navigation applications, entertainment versatility, broader smartphone connectivity possibilities, and sophisticated voice management all dramatically improve the driving and ownership experience over the standard factory setup. By introducing thoughtfully selected upgrades compatible with ix35’s unique dashboard architecture, drivers enjoy more tranquil daily commutes, enriched family interactions, reliable real-time traffic planning, and added practical driver awareness features.
Throughout its journey, from Tucson's initial reliability focus to ix35 LM Series advanced cabin refinement and technological progression, Hyundai’s compact SUV legacy demonstrates thoughtful evolution firmly responding to shifting global buyer preferences. In its modern interpretation, buyers continue finding remarkable balance—combining emotional appeal, practical utility, intelligent technology, and dependable road demeanor into a fulfilling, long-lasting ownership experience.
