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 Kia Optima occupies an esteemed position among modern midsize sedans, admired for its sophisticated styling, comfortable interiors, and consistently refined road manners. Known variously as the "K5" in Korean and Chinese markets, the Optima has cultivated international appeal through attentive design, engineering progression, and a balanced combination of aesthetics and practicality.
Historical Evolution of the Kia Optima:
1. First Generation (2000–2005):
The Kia Optima debuted as the Magentis in Europe and Canada, while its domestic Korean name remained the Kia Lotze. Derived from the Hyundai Sonata platform, initial models emphasized practicality, affordability, and approachable comfort. Customers valued them for their reliability, roomy cabins, and commendable ride quality, establishing Kia as a credible choice in the competitive midsize segment.
2. Second Generation (2005–2010):
In its second iteration, the Optima advanced considerably in sophistication and refinement. Aesthetic improvements featured sleeker contours and distinctive body lines. Enhanced interior materials and improved mechanical refinement boosted the Optima’s reputation. Attention shifted toward improved road handling, courtesy of refined suspension systems, upgraded engines, and overall improved driving dynamics. This generation notably amplified Kia’s standing significantly on a global scale.
3. Third Generation (2010–2015):
A pivotal period for the Kia Optima occurred during its third generation, undergoing a remarkable transformation under Peter Schreyer's acclaimed design direction—a milestone marked by bold styling and markedly improved quality standards. Receiving acclaim internationally, the Optima won fans with its distinctively elegant yet energetic appearance, sharper handling, and upgraded interiors featuring purposeful ergonomics, exceptional comfort, and advanced convenience features. Thus, Kia cemented its presence globally, with elevated market reputation and consumer confidence.
4. Fourth Generation (2015–2020):
The fourth-generation Kia Optima brought subtle yet substantial evolutions, both externally and internally. Externally characterized by a gracefully evolved "Tiger-nose" grille, smoother contours, sophisticated headlamp designs, and stylish proportions, it maintained its previous expressive design language, further elevating aesthetic maturity. Internally, Kia notably prioritized refinement, blending luxurious materials, meticulous ergonomics, advanced technological equipment, and improved overall comfort and spaciousness.
This fourth-generation Optima featured robust engine options, including dependable 2.4-liter naturally aspirated, more powerful turbocharged variants, and even eco-oriented hybrid and plug-in hybrid models, balancing efficiency and spirited driving performance effectively.
Infotainment and technology also prominently advanced in this era. Kia’s proprietary infotainment interface, integrated user-friendly touchscreen displays and provided increased connectivity. However, early trims occasionally offered limited smartphone integration capabilities or lacked wireless functionality, signifying room for after-market solutions to optimize and update in-cabin connectivity.
Enhanced In-Car Connectivity and Practical Innovation:
Drivers seeking expanded usability frequently opt for tailored infotainment upgrades. Brummstadt provides a fitting example with their advanced infotainment head unit explicitly compatible with the 2015–2020 Kia Optima models. Purposefully designed to integrate harmoniously within the Optima’s dashboard aesthetics and electronic environment, this premium system notably modernizes the cabin, fostering deeper interactions between driver and vehicle.
This enhanced head unit introduces wireless and wired compatibility with both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, bridging smartphone and vehicle effortlessly. Picture a relaxed evening dining out—after a satisfying meal shared comfortably with family, destination coordinates for the remainder of the evening effortlessly synchronize wirelessly from the smartphone directly onto the head unit’s screen through Apple CarPlay or Android Auto connectivity. This scenario smoothly transitions from family dining to arriving at friends’ homes, facilitated efficiently by familiar navigation apps such as Google Maps, Apple Maps, or WAZE, adding noticeable value through genuine convenience and peace-of-mind navigation.
Additional functionalities include optional 1080p premium HD cameras installed front and rear, providing camera recording capabilities beneficial for lasting video evidence and improved situational awareness, especially important for busy urban environments or tight parking scenarios.
The Brummstadt unit also extends the Optima’s entertainment potential significantly. Connecting gaming controllers conveniently via USB allows passengers to enjoy interactive multiplayer experiences on long drives, transforming mundane transit into joyful shared moments.
Moreover, integration of reliable smart voice controls through Apple Siri or Google Assistant manages communication, media selection, and navigation effortlessly. Beyond conventional in-car operations, these controls effortlessly interact with compatible home-smart devices—such as remotely activating porch lights before arriving home—integrating vehicle-bound technology meaningfully into everyday home life, safely and intuitively.
Advantageous Qualities of the Kia Optima Driving Experience:
The 2015–2020 Kia Optima models distinguish themselves through commendable ride comfort, balanced driving dynamics, carefully refined interiors, and appreciable build quality. Kia meticulously addresses occupant comfort, making journeys relaxing and notably quiet. Excellent road isolation, supportive seats, thoughtfully arranged cabin controls, and technological evolution elevates daily driving into a pleasant and genuinely enjoyable event.
Providing an infotainment system more sophisticated than Kia’s original factory provisioning not only advances technology in parallel with current driver expectations but also contributes substantive convenience and engagement. Choosing a reputable solution such as the Brummstadt head unit embraces these advances, thoughtfully raising practical usability, passenger entertainment, safety consciousness, connected convenience, and general satisfaction within every drive.
In recognizing the comprehensive strengths of Kia Optima fourth-generation models and appropriately refining connectivity and entertainment capabilities, owners meaningfully deepen their relationship with their vehicles. The resultant emotional connection transcends routine transport—it cultivates personal enjoyment, genuine pride, and confident, thoroughly rewarding driving satisfaction.
