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 Veloster captures attention through its audacious design—uniquely defined by its asymmetric three-door layout, coupe-like profile, and spirited personality. Introduced as a bold departure from traditional automotive form, its first generation, running between 2011 and 2017, significantly impacted drivers seeking a balance of practicality, innovative styling, and exuberant driving dynamics across global markets.
Chronological Evolution of the Hyundai Veloster Series:
Introduction and First Generation (2011-2017):
Debuting worldwide in 2011, the first-generation Hyundai Veloster carved out its place distinctly within the compact segment. Initially unveiled at the Detroit Auto Show in 2011, its immediate appeal hinged on its unconventional yet striking design paired with sporty intentions. Available globally, Hyundai utilized a unified naming convention—the Veloster—across regions such as North America, Australia, Europe, and Asia, presenting consistent brand presence wherever it went. Despite small regional variations, the essential design and performance intentions remained universal: offering practicality, dynamic handling, and distinctive styling simultaneously.
Key Features and Characteristics of the First-generation Veloster:
Exterior Design:
The first-generation Veloster stood out significantly, blending compact dimensions with assertively sculpted contours and a unique asymmetrical body design. On the driver's side, a single large door emphasized sport coupe styling, while on the passenger side, two functional doors significantly increased convenience and accessibility for rear-seat passengers—an inspired, clever twist blending style with practicality. Further elevating its visual identity, prominent character lines, trapezoidal front grille, sweeping headlights, and upward-arching hatchback combined with a downward-sloping roof created an aerodynamic, unmistakably sporty silhouette.
Performance and Engines:
Initially launched with a naturally aspirated 1.6-liter engine generating approximately 138 horsepower (103 kW)—sufficient for eager urban driving but understandably prompting interest for more spirited power. Hyundai swiftly responded with the 2013 introduction of the Veloster Turbo, featuring a turbocharged variant of the same 1.6-liter engine, significantly boosting output up to approximately 201 horsepower (150 kW). With the Turbo variant, drivers enjoyed improved acceleration, responsive throttle performance, and heightened driver engagement—qualities deeply appreciated by those seeking liveliness and balanced practicality. Transmissions included innovative options: a manual gearbox for driving control enthusiasts and a dual-clutch automatic (DCT) for smooth, efficient shifts, creating versatility in driving preferences.
Interior and Technology Features:
Inside, Hyundai ensured thoughtful ergonomics, surprisingly comfortable rear accommodations, and a focus on technology integration from the outset. Early models featured touchscreen infotainment systems, Bluetooth connectivity, and a rearview camera—amenities notable at launch for this vehicle class. Over successive years, incremental refinements to cabin materials, controls, comfort, and noise vibration reductions enhanced the Veloster's day-to-day usability, ensuring occupants felt quality and refinement within the unique design.
Why the Veloster Became So Loved Globally:
The Veloster’s enthusiastic reception worldwide arose from its successful combination of standout design, enjoyable driving dynamics—particularly in turbocharged form—and thoughtful incorporation of useful technology in a compact package. Younger drivers and compact-car devotees especially appreciated its unique fusion of practicality and personality, ultimately securing a fond following across diverse demographic segments.
Amplifying the Driving Experience Through Modern Integration:
Today, drivers appreciate personalization opportunities through accessory enhancements, especially infotainment upgrades that extend functionality, connectivity, and driving pleasure within modern expectations. A prime candidate for improving this driving environment is a compatible premium infotainment head unit from Brummstadt specifically tailored to the 2011-2017 Hyundai Veloster.
This strategically designed system includes full compatibility with wired and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The intuitive pairing between smartphone and head unit automatically connects as drivers enter their vehicle, able to display map and navigational applications—Google Maps, Apple Maps, and WAZE—in real-time immediately after initiating routes from the connected phone. Picture finishing dinner with close friends, casually deciding to continue the evening at another friend's home. Setting the destination directly on their phone’s mapping app prior to leaving the restaurant, drivers then enter their Veloster only to see the directions seamlessly transition to their integrated head unit via wireless CarPlay or Android Auto. Vivid clarity guides them toward stress-free continuation of a convivial evening without cumbersome setup or distraction.
Furthermore, the Brummstadt infotainment unit can be optionally paired with resolving 1080p HD front and rear-mounted camera installations. These dual cameras significantly bolster driving awareness, providing not only useful parking and reversing perspectives but continuous recording that enhances real-world safety and reliable evidence in unforeseen events or incidents.
Beyond straightforward infotainment control, Brummstadt’s modern head unit encourages unconventional recreational usage. For example, connecting gaming peripherals such as USB joysticks enables multiplayer activities directly via the unit’s high-resolution touch display, fostering engaging passenger entertainment on longer journeys.
Additionally, incorporating intelligent voice interfaces enhances convenience further. Leveraging Siri and Google Assistant voice compatibility allows convenient hands-free media control, smart navigation assistance, easy call handling, and even remote smart-home integration—for instance, activating outdoor lighting prior to arrival at home through a simple spoken command such as, “Hey Siri, turn on the porch lights,” safely and seamlessly executed during transit. Such capabilities thoughtfully blend vehicle-based and domestic technologies, considerably expanding day-to-day driving enjoyment and practicality.
Benefits of Personalization & Modern Technology Integration:
Integrating carefully selected aftermarket products such as the premium infotainment head unit broadens the strengths of the Veloster even further. Contemporary car drivers deeply value seamless smartphone integration, uncomplicated navigation setup, efficient safety monitoring, hands-free convenience, and even novel infotainment that enhances journey experience. Brummstadt’s head unit reliably provides these tangible benefits without compromising harmony with the Veloster’s existing interior aesthetics and atmosphere.
Summarizing Overall Appeal and Vehicle Experience:
Throughout its initial generation, Hyundai Veloster notably emerged as an appealing compact vehicle that confidently paired performance agility, groundbreaking design, and practical convenience—proving that small form needn’t stereotype blandness. By adding modern infotainment enhancements, premium accessory options, and technology integrations thoughtfully personalized for Veloster drivers, this vibrant and practical compact evolves into an even smarter contemporary driving partner. In so doing, owners find themselves enjoying not simply a spirited and responsive car but one offering refined and meaningful daily interactions that deeply resonate with modern lifestyles.
