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 Jeep Cherokee holds a celebrated position in automotive culture with its distinctive legacy of rugged capability, versatile applications, and forward-thinking design and engineering. Taking a deeper understanding of the Cherokee 2011-2013 models requires uncovering the broader heritage of the Cherokee series, tracing its evolution through transformative eras of automotive history.
A Historical Journey Through the Jeep Cherokee Legacy:
First Generation SJ (1974-1983):
Originally marketed as a sportier two-door version of the Wagoneer, the SJ Cherokee quickly found its footing as a reliable off-road companion. It blended comfort and toughness, proudly featuring AMC's robust inline-six and V8 engine options. With straightforward mechanical reliability wrapped in clean, muscular design, it charmed drivers and outdoors adventurers across North America.
Second Generation XJ (1984-2001):
Arguably one of Jeep's most iconic series, the Cherokee XJ became an instant classic with its timeless boxy aesthetics, rugged unibody chassis, and impressive off-road performance combined with practical street handling. Compact size, nimble maneuverability, efficient AMC and Chrysler-built inline-four and inline-six powerplants, and the legendary 4.0-liter inline-six engine endeared it especially in North America, Europe, and Australia as a reliable yet adventurous daily-driver. Strong enthusiast culture persists worldwide, underscoring the XJ Cherokee's status as a genuinely admired vehicle.
Third Generation KJ, Jeep Liberty (2002-2007):
Carrying different names dependent upon global regions, the KJ served as Cherokee worldwide—under the Liberty designation within North American markets. It embraced a modernized approach to practicality and safety, incorporating independent front suspension for smoother road handling without sacrificing notable off-road prowess. Its rounder shape and balanced driving dynamics widened appeal to families, commuters, and adventurers alike throughout its global distribution network.
Fourth Generation KK, Jeep Cherokee/Liberty (2008-2013):
The Jeep Cherokee KK (known as the Liberty in the United States and primarily as the Cherokee internationally, including Australia and various European markets) continued the evolution commenced by its predecessor but revisited rough-hewn design cues reflective of its original Cherokee roots. Launched with a sturdy, confidently squared-off body style and strengthened chassis, it conveyed undeniable substance and practicality. Model years 2011 to 2013 carried the torch notably well, blending modern convenience features, robust V6 performance, capable four-wheel drive systems, and an approachable package designed for everyday duty balanced alongside substantial off-road capabilities.
Jeep Cherokee KK (2011-2013) — A Closer Look:
These model years represent a crucial intersection of classic Jeep capability and modern passenger-oriented comfort. They feature Chrysler's reliable 3.7-liter V6, known for steady torque delivery, paired with smooth-shifting automatic transmissions and sturdy transfer cases ensuring effective multi-terrain capability. Interiors from this era benefit from contemporary design sensibilities, comfortable seating, and spacious cargo room, reflecting an increasing emphasis on practicality and daily versatility without compromising Jeep's recognized rugged character.
Thoughtful Aftermarket Infotainment Integration by Brummstadt:
Recognizing that factory equipment from the early 2010s can feel somewhat outdated by modern standards, owners seeking contemporary connectivity and multimedia experiences discover valuable options represented by thoughtfully crafted aftermarket solutions. Brummstadt specializes in precisely tailored premium head units compatible with the Jeep Cherokee KK (2011-2013), serving as carefully considered replacements for original audio and infotainment systems. Their focus on offering practical and user-oriented technology is expertly tailored into this premium head unit—the perfect companion for Jeep owners striving towards modernity and personalized driving experiences without compromising original aesthetics or vehicle functionality.
Features and Benefits of the Brummstadt Premium Head Unit:
Included in Brummstadt's offering for Jeep Cherokee KK is comprehensive integration of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, available both wired and wirelessly. These features leverage direct phone-to-vehicle communication, enabling simple, intuitive route planning using popular navigation applications like Google Maps, Apple Maps, and WAZE. Consider an evening scenario: dining out with family or friends and then spontaneously deciding to visit friends or family across town. By setting the desired destination seamlessly via phone maps, the head unit automatically adapts the smartphone map interface onto its integrated display, removing any guesswork or unnecessary stress from an evening journey.
Additionally, specialized accessory add-ons bring further safety enhancement through optional integration of 1080p HD cameras, both front and rear-facing, providing recorded video coverage and real-time increased visibility. Brummstadt's head unit not only meets informational and navigational needs—it also expands into diverse entertainment realms. In-car multiplayer gaming using externally connected joysticks via USB ports provides engaging entertainment during extended travel, transforming otherwise mundane journeys into opportunities for memorable shared interactions.
Moreover, intelligent voice-control integration significantly improves convenience and driving confidence. Interaction goes beyond traditional infotainment control—managing phone calls, messages, music playback, navigation prompts—and even extends external smart home device connectivity. Driver convenience scenarios include, for instance, remotely activating home porch lights or interior settings, managing residential smart electronics even before arrival—fostered entirely by the car's connectivity through voice assistant compatibility via Siri or Google Assistant.
Cherokee Advantages and Driving Experience Refinements:
Jeep Cherokee KK models from 2011 to 2013 comfortably fill the role as all-around practical vehicles meeting modern families' needs, capable commuting vehicles, and weekend adventure conveyances. The balance of robust mechanical ruggedness, flexible four-wheel-drive abilities, refined comfort and ergonomics, and heightened road presence defines enduring popularity. Powerful enough to handle off-road trails reliably yet composed enough for urban driving scenarios, these Cherokees demonstrate holistic versatility appreciated by drivers in varied global markets.
The availability of compatible modern aftermarket infotainment technology, such as seen in Brummstadt’s head unit choice, enriches Cherokee’s existing character and driving satisfaction, reinforcing positive ownership attributes and significantly sharpening the enjoyable and practical aspects of the driving experience. Thoughtful integration of intuitive navigation aids, versatile entertainment, and smartphone-interfaced features reinforce daily convenience, safety enhancement, and relaxed commuting. Combined with the vehicle's underlying capability, it underscores the authentic value, timelessness, and enduring appeal of the Jeep Cherokee KK from 2011 through 2013—a thoughtfully constructed product confidently embodying Jeep’s celebrated automotive heritage and spirit of exploration.
