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, since its early inception in the early 1990s, has become synonymous globally with versatile luxury, robust performance, and unmistakable off-road prowess. Celebrated as a staple sport utility vehicle (SUV), the Grand Cherokee has etched its legacy into automotive history by progressively blending refined comfort and powerful capability. To fully appreciate the fourth generation Jeep Grand Cherokee spanning from 2014 to 2020, it's crucial to explore the lineage and evolution of this acclaimed model series.
Historical Journey of the Jeep Grand Cherokee:
First Generation—ZJ (1993-1998):
The initial Grand Cherokee entered production with a fresh approach, combining rugged, capable engineering and plush comfort rarely witnessed in SUVs of that era. Immediately gaining prominence through features such as superior four-wheel-drive systems, exceptional ride quality, and the well-regarded 5.2-litre V8 powertrain, the ZJ established itself as an alluring choice both for families and off-road adventurers.
Second Generation—WJ (1999-2004):
Building upon ZJ foundations, the WJ advanced significantly in comfort, technology, and road dynamics. Its refined Quadra-Drive four-wheel-drive system was notably praised, effortlessly navigating rough terrain and difficult driving conditions. Enhanced cabin amenities, better interior ergonomics, and stronger engines, including a newly offered capable 4.7-litre V8, supported the Grand Cherokee's growing reputation as a luxurious yet highly practical SUV.
Third Generation—WK (2005-2010):
The WK generation marked another significant leap forward, prominently featuring upgraded cabin materials, technological expansion, and improved driving refinement. Noteworthy attributes included increased passenger space, optional Hemi V8 engines delivering impressive torque and towing capacity, and electronic advancements such as an integrated rear-view camera, parking assistance, and improved navigation systems. These elements bridged the combined expectations of off-road enthusiasts and everyday driving needs.
Fourth Generation—WK2 (2011-2020):
Signifying the modern vision of Jeep SUV luxury, the WK2 quickly elevated itself above competitors with advancements in construction, material refinement, suspension tuning, and comprehensive connectivity. Featuring sleek exterior lines combined with high-quality interiors presented in premium materials, the WK2 promptly earned praise from reviewers worldwide for its balance of rugged structure and refined travel comfort.
Between the years 2014 and 2020, the Jeep Grand Cherokee WK2 underwent noteworthy updates. These years introduced refreshed styling cues, such as restyled headlamps and grille compositions, improved powertrain calibration for precision, and suspension enhancements emphasizing driver control, smooth road manners, and handling agility. Notably successful variants like the Overland and Summit editions offered leather-upholstered premium interiors, upgraded infotainment interfaces, and sophisticated driver-assist features catering to increased consumer tastes for comfort, prestige, and technology.
The WK2 series particularly stood out internationally by catering to diverse global demands. Known for similar naming conventions throughout most markets, including Australia, North America, Europe, and Asia, the Grand Cherokee gained popularity for its universal appeal: spaciousness for family use, competent off-road capabilities for adventurous drivers seeking reliable exploration companions, and refinement to satisfy and exceed luxury expectations.
Integrative Technology Enhancements:
While factory-installed multimedia systems continued to improve throughout the fourth-generation period, user preference evolved towards heightened smartphone integration technology beyond many original equipment expectations. Addressing these user demands, aftermarket solutions, such as the sophisticated head units offered by Brummstadt, have emerged as prudent complements for Jeep Grand Cherokee WK2 owners seeking contemporary multimedia systems.
The Brummstadt premium infotainment head unit naturally accommodates the Grand Cherokee WK2's dashboard architecture, ensuring visual cohesion with the vehicle’s existing design philosophy. Providing support for both wired and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto interfaces, the head unit presents a digital avenue through which modern navigation tools—such as Google Maps, WAZE, and Apple Maps—function efficiently, facilitating fluid transition from personal devices to well-integrated in-car navigation. Consider a comfortable dinner gathering with family or friends; upon deciding spontaneously to visit another location afterward, the phones used at dinner quickly and wirelessly load previously planned routes onto the car’s displayed CarPlay or Android Auto maps. This harmonious play of smartphone-to-head-unit connection minimizes complexity, allowing uninterrupted relational moments to meld gracefully into straightforward travel arrangements.
For added levels of safety and reassurance, an optional 1080p HD camera upgrade, featuring front and rear perspectives alongside recording capabilities, expands driver confidence through enhanced visibility and valuable event documentation—particularly useful during unpredictable driving situations and providing added assurance through recorded evidence.
Family-friendly entertaining enhancements further underscore the Brummstadt system’s versatility. Integrated USB ports enable multiplayer gaming scenarios, offering passengers interactive enjoyment during extended drives. This elevates driving time beyond the traditional travel concept, facilitating memorable, enjoyable interactions among passengers.
The head unit’s exceptional voice-activated functionalities enrich usability even further. Integration with intelligent voice assistants such as Siri or Google Assistant transcends mere media control or hands-free phone operations; it empowers situational interactions with smart home devices depending on the owner's preference. Practical applications transform the daily drive, allowing conveniences such as activating exterior home lighting remotely by merely speaking voice commands mid-journey—efficiently uniting vehicle technology directly with household routines and real-world activities to simplify daily living.
Jeep Grand Cherokee WK2 Advantages and Driving Experience:
From its inception, the Grand Cherokee WK2 series attracted loyal admiration with industry-leading off-road capability, expressive V6 and V8 engine varieties, sophisticated suspension systems, quiet interiors, and luxury-level finishes unrivaled in its class. Drivers commended the vehicle’s unwavering confidence, whether navigating rugged terrains and unpredictable weather or smoothly traversing urban streets and highways.
Its compelling combination of robust capability and luxurious refinement is amplified significantly by integrating leading-edge infotainment and technological solutions. The choices made by discerning drivers to introduce modern multimedia capabilities and driving assistance accessories into the vehicle underscore an increasingly mobile, technologically aware culture. Equipping the Jeep Grand Cherokee WK2 with thoughtfully selected aftermarket enhancements reinforces appreciation for thoughtful design blending seamlessly into personalization, fostering profound pride, ownership satisfaction, and deeper connections with the vehicle itself.
In essence, fashioned through decades-long progression and adapting directly to refined customer expectation, the Jeep Grand Cherokee WK2 from 2014 through 2020 powerfully exemplifies automotive excellence—merging trail-proven adaptability, luxury-focused aesthetics, purposeful enhancements, sophisticated technology solutions, and unmatched lifetime versatility.
