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 Wrangler represents a timeless classic in automotive culture, defined unmistakably by its robust capability, rugged simplicity, and iconic, boxy design language. Appreciated globally under its consistent "Wrangler" identity—whether traversing Australian outback trails, forging through challenging routes in the American Rockies, roaming European countryside or exploring Asia’s diverse terrain—the Wrangler name has consistently evoked adventure, resilience, and distinctive style. The vehicle's transformation from a straightforward off-road workhorse into a thoughtfully balanced adventure vehicle reflects a clear evolutionary path marked by careful refinement and thoughtful technological progress.
Historical Evolution of the Jeep Wrangler Series:
First Generation: Jeep Wrangler YJ (1987-1995)
Replacing the legendary Jeep CJ series, the Wrangler YJ emerged in 1987 as a modernized interpretation, offering enhanced ride comfort without sacrificing off-road capability. Its recognizable rectangular headlights distinguished it from successors, and though initially controversial among Jeep devotees, the YJ steadily gained respect for its balanced approachability, reliable 4WD capability, and accessible open-air freedom, cementing a path for further generations.
Second Generation: Jeep Wrangler TJ (1997-2006)
Returning to round headlights, the TJ exhibited a more comfortable ride achieved through adopting coil spring suspensions instead of leaf springs. Performance-wise, it established a benchmark in agility, maneuverability, and rugged trail mastery. This generation became celebrated among off-road circles and everyday drivers alike for its unique blend of practicality and trail-readiness, expanding its popularity significantly.
Third Generation: Jeep Wrangler JK (2007-2018)
The JK represented a breakthrough, considerably broadening the Wrangler’s appeal. Introducing for the first time a four-door Unlimited model, Jeep expanded the vehicle's versatility dramatically, serving practical family and recreational roles. Modern technologies—such as stability control, advanced safety features, improved powertrain selections (including the widely embraced Pentastar 3.6L V6 engine introduced in 2012)—further solidified the Wrangler JK’s successful tenure. This third-generation Wrangler directly encompassed the 2015-2018 period of special interest.
2015-2018 Wrangler JK:
During 2015 through 2018, the Jeep Wrangler JK maintained its respected heritage while incrementally incorporating thoughtful advancements. Exterior-wise, the Wrangler proudly retained iconic Jeep signatures: round headlights, vertical-slotted grille, rugged fender flares, and removable doors and roof for unmatched open-air freedom. Underneath, capable solid axle construction combined with robust 4WD drivetrains delivered consistent, reliable off-road ability.
Inside, comfort and convenience subtly increased throughout the JK’s production run. New interior materials, improved ergonomics, and more intuitive dashboard organization provided practical comfort, though factory infotainment options remained basic and limited by contemporary standards. Increasing customer expectation for connectivity and smartphone integration grew substantially throughout these years—necessitating thoughtful aftermarket solutions for technology integration.
Thoughtful Integration of Technological Advancements:
A careful merger of modern connectivity and entertainment within the inherently rugged attitude of Jeep Wrangler JK significantly elevates enjoyment and driving satisfaction. Recognizing the expanding digital needs of Wrangler JK owners, Brummstadt offers a specifically engineered premium head unit replacement, thoughtfully built around full wired and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility.
Focused entirely upon ease of integration, this head unit caters directly to Jeep Wrangler JK interiors, ensuring a clean, seamless dashboard installation matching existing interior themes. Its advanced system alleviates common frustrations of older factory stereo interfaces, introducing intuitive smartphone connectivity and reliable, custom-mapped navigation. Common apps including Google Maps, Apple Maps, and navigation favorites such as WAZE are readily supported, allowing more stress-free travel.
Consider a common scenario: Picture departing a family dinner on a cozy weekend evening; the destination is effortlessly entered into a smartphone mapping app prior to departure. Once in the Wrangler JK, wireless Apple CarPlay or Android Auto automatically continues navigation via the head unit's clear, vivid display, simplifying transitions and enhancing moments spent on the road. Minimal interaction ensures driver attention remains focused, improving both safety and comfort, particularly in unfamiliar settings.
To supplement convenience and added security, the head unit can integrate optional accessories like high-quality full HD 1080p front and rear cameras. Featuring detailed recordings, clear visibility, and enhanced situational awareness, these cameras provide valuable evidence in case of any unforeseen events or traffic incidents—a forward-thinking complement to Wrangler JK’s confident stance.
Beyond navigation and safety, Brummstadt's head unit facilitates engaging entertainment opportunities, encouraging enjoyable passenger interactions during longer adventures. In-car gaming becomes possible via USB joystick integration, transforming mundane moments of travel into memorable social experiences inside the Wrangler—especially beneficial for passengers during road trips.
Smart assistant compatibility further refines the Wrangler JK's cabin usability. Embedded support for Siri or Google Assistant voice commands manages calls, messages, music selections, and navigation effortlessly without driver distraction. Even more intriguingly, integration with connected smart home devices expands the Jeep’s potential: clever commands during drives—such as remotely switching on porch lights before arriving home—become practical realities rather than futuristic ideals.
Driving Experience and Key Advantages of the Wrangler JK Series (2015-2018):
Distinctively robust yet versatile, Jeep Wrangler JK models from 2015-2018 stand out as effective daily vehicles and supremely confident adventure machines. Their robust Pentastar 3.6-liter V6 engine remains celebrated for its combination of smoothness, proven durability, notable horsepower (285 hp), and efficient reliability—perfectly balanced for urban cruising or traversing challenging trails.
Structurally and agilely capable, JK Wranglers continue to be recognized and respected globally for their genuine off-road prowess. Detachable doors, folding soft-top or removable hardtop roofs, and purposeful interiors ensure customization to diverse lifestyles and endless exploration possibilities. However, the factory infotainment choices provide only limited smartphone compatibility and entertainment versatility.
Substituting the modest factory multimedia system with thoughtfully developed technology offerings—like Brummstadt’s compatible head unit—substantially modernizes the driving experience. Rather than merely occupying transit, each drive evolves into an appealing interaction, significantly improving convenience, security, and entertainment fulfillment. In this way, these Wrangler JK models grow naturally beyond traditional automotive limitations, serving as personal portals to responsible adventure, technology-infused utility, and endless driver satisfaction.
Through decades of incremental care and evolution, the Jeep Wrangler has thoroughly epitomized the aspirations, spirit, and special appeal of global explorers. This particular JK generation, thoughtfully enriched by carefully considered technology integrations, effectively embodies a heritage-driven capability seamlessly fused within modern-day usability—admirably bridging tradition, proven durability, and enjoyable driving convenience to worldwide admiration and acclaim.
