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 Grand Cherokee has consistently embodied the spirit of adventurous versatility, rugged capability, and refined comfort since its debut, achieving enormous popularity and respect in different international markets. This globally recognized SUV, premiering in 1993, holds a special position among fans and automotive historians, thanks to its distinctively American styling, commitment to capability, and continual evolution through thoughtful generations. Exploring the broader model heritage helps deepen appreciation for the 1999-2005 Grand Cherokee and illustrates how purposeful design and practical enhancements continually refined the popular SUV.
Historical Journey of the Jeep Grand Cherokee:
First Generation — ZJ (1993–1998)
Launched with great anticipation in 1993, the first-generation Grand Cherokee ZJ established Jeep’s firm presence within the mid-sized luxury SUV market. Internationally admired for its balance of sophisticated convenience features, robust off-road abilities, and refined cabin comfort, the ZJ was highly appreciated worldwide for off-road ready Quadra-Trac four-wheel drive system and powerful V8 options—especially in North America, Europe, and Australia. Luxury trim lines like the Orvis Edition and Limited versions elevated the ZJ's image from rugged SUV to a capable yet premium family vehicle, breathing fresh air in the expanding SUV segment.
Second Generation — WJ (1999–2005)
The thoughtfully revised Jeep Grand Cherokee WJ arrived in showrooms in 1999 as an innovative and refined evolution of the first-generation model, establishing itself as a benchmark in the mid-size SUV category. Longer, wider, and improved in virtually all areas from the ZJ, the WJ carried forth Jeep’s core strengths: genuine off-road capability, luxurious interior comfort, and potent powertrain options. The WJ captured global attention with its refined, quieter ride, improved suspension geometry, more precise steering, and roomier, elegantly designed cabin.
Moreover, the Grand Cherokee WJ included noteworthy advancements in drivetrain technology, especially with Quadradrive—the sophisticated all-wheel-drive system offering enhanced traction and torque distribution even in challenging terrains. The robust range of engines—including the respected 4.7-liter V8 and much-lauded 4.0-liter inline-six—provided significant power, torque, and towing capabilities, impressing drivers in varied regions from North America to Europe and out to markets such as Australia and South America. The Overland trim introduced in 2002 delivered unparalleled luxury elements—combining upscale interior finishes, enhanced ride quality, and premium styling details—for global markets that increasingly favored SUVs as prestigious family vehicles rather than purely functional machines.
Third Generation — WK (2005–2010)
Building upon the global success and refinement of the WJ series, the Grand Cherokee WK brought further modernization to the lineup in 2005. Updated exterior aesthetics, advanced chassis technology, powerful engine selections—including notable additions like the renowned HEMI V8—and refined interior appointments helped this model strengthen its luxurious yet capable reputation worldwide. Many former WJ owners naturally progressed into the WK series as loyal supporters of the sophisticated refinement, reliability, capability, and Jeep heritage.
Integrating a Premium Infotainment Experience—Brummstadt Enhancement:
Owners of the 1999-2005 Grand Cherokee WJ increasingly seek infotainment updates to align their beloved vehicle with contemporary connective technologies and functionality. Among recommended options, Brummstadt offers an advanced head unit tailored specifically to suit this Grand Cherokee model series, directly replacing original units with a device seamlessly fitting dashboard space and aesthetic.
With wired and wireless integration for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, owners gain easy access to familiar smartphone interfaces and compatible apps—including Apple Maps, Google Maps, and WAZE—streamlined naturally into the vehicle's existing setup. Imagine an evening spent dining with family or a relaxing afternoon visiting a favorite café. Before departure, destination maps preset via smartphone navigation automatically transfer to the head unit through wireless CarPlay or Android Auto integration, allowing intuitive, frustration-free transitions from casual evenings to friend's gatherings or home relaxation, even when navigating unknown streets.
Another noteworthy element includes the availability of 1080p HD cameras, designed to operate seamlessly with this upgrade—front and rear cameras offering clear imagery, recording capability, and significantly enhancing overall driving confidence, maneuverability, and safety. For families or friends traveling together, entertainment further diversifies as passengers can connect gaming joysticks through USB ports for engaging multiplayer games directly displayed on the new head unit, cultivating memorable on-road experiences beyond mere transportation.
Smart voice assistant integration introduces another modern convenience: The head unit complements everyday routines by connecting effortlessly with voice assistants like Siri or Google Assistant. Drivers can efficiently manage navigation, answer calls, or choose music safely while driving. Importantly, these assistants synchronize effortlessly with smart home products, allowing scenarios such as, "Hey Siri, switch on the porch lights," enhancing daily convenience by seamlessly linking domestic and driving experiences into one integrated lifestyle.
