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 Rio has secured a prominent position in global automotive markets, being widely recognized for practicality, reliable engineering, and affordability. Popular for city driving and economical commuting, this compact car has a vast international history and a loyal following across different continents. In understanding the model range—specifically focusing on the Kia Rio JB produced from 2005 to 2011—exploring the previous generations is essential for appreciating its progression, capabilities, and the qualities that established its reputation.
Historical Overview and Evolution of the Kia Rio:
First Generation (DC; 1999–2005):
The Kia Rio debuted in 1999, marking Kia's determined push into global markets with an affordable yet well-equipped subcompact car. Initially branded as the DC model, this first-generation Rio offered both sedan and hatchback forms, placing strong emphasis on fuel economy, affordability, and straightforward reliability. It quickly gained traction among budget-minded drivers across North America, Europe, Australia, and various Asian markets. Noted for its economical four-cylinder engines and straightforward engineering, the early Rio appealed especially to drivers seeking cost-effective daily transport, establishing Kia’s credentials as a serious global player.
Second Generation (JB; 2005–2011):
The JB generation introduced in 2005 represented a significant advancement compared to its predecessor, offering notable improvements in design, quality, performance, and cabin refinement. This model moved beyond merely an economical proposition, delivering enhanced driving refinement, improved ride comfort, better handling dynamics, and substantial upgrades in safety features.
In multiple regions—Australia, Europe, North America—the second-generation Rio came both as a sedan and five-door hatchback. This approachable and versatile format ensured that it appealed to a broad and diverse audience. In North America and Australia, the Rio was admired for fuel economy, affordable maintenance costs, and impressive everyday practicality. European and Asian markets additionally favored its compact dimensions and nimble performance in urban settings, suiting crowded city streets on daily commutes or errands.
Significant changes over its life cycle included further refinement in ride quality, increased safety ratings, and subtle styling updates. Special mention goes to the SX variant available in certain markets—featuring slightly sportier styling, alloy wheels, and refined interior trimmings—which allowed owners a more distinctly styled and enjoyable variant. All said, the Rio JB reinforced Kia’s growing strength in creating competitively positioned compact vehicles globally.
Third Generation and Beyond (UB; 2011 onwards):
Continuing from 2011 onward, Kia unveiled subsequent generations that built significantly on the Rio JB foundations—adding stronger fuel-efficiency enhancements, better-integrated technology, and sleeker styling harmonious with Kia’s global design evolution. These later models showcased Kia’s desire to continually upgrade features, build quality, and passenger comfort, displaying a continuous narrative of automotive advancement.
Integration of Infotainment Technology – Brummstadt Premium Head Unit:
Considering the Rio JB's solid reputation as a reliable, practical daily car, adding carefully matched aftermarket infotainment technology allows this trusted model to match contemporary driving expectations more closely. Brummstadt’s premium head unit—specifically developed to suit and complement the Kia Rio JB’s original dashboard design—offers meaningful connectivity improvements, bringing further enjoyment and convenience to daily journeys.
The Brummstadt head unit provides compatibility with both wired and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Interacting smoothly with applications like Google Maps and WAZE, it offers easily accessible, straightforward navigation options.

Entering the car, the selected route seamlessly transitions onto the large infotainment display via wireless Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, supporting smooth, stress-free transitions from casual dinners to evening visits effortlessly, helping drivers remain relaxed and confident during their journeys.
Further enhancing road confidence, the head unit offers an optional upgrade with 1080p HD front and rear cameras capable of continuous recording. These provide excellent visibility, improved vehicle spatial awareness, and crucial footage if unexpected incidents occur on the road.
Additionally, beyond standard expectations, this head unit also doubles as an interactive entertainment hub. The built-in USB connections accommodate joysticks and controllers, transforming passenger time into memorable moments—facilitating gaming versatility, enjoyable interaction for family or friends on long-distance journeys, enriching traveling experiences substantially.
Another noteworthy functionality is the intelligent voice control systems integrated within Brummstadt's premium head units. These smart enhancements manage audio playback, navigation inquiries, messaging, and facilitate safe phone usage—all accomplished via spoken commands. Moreover, compatibility extends to popular voice assistants like Siri or Google Assistant, allowing on-the-move interaction beyond driving tasks; for example, a command like "Hey Siri, activate lights at home," provides an intuitive mix between automotive and home smart devices, increasing convenience and practicality wherever the journey leads.

The Kia Rio JB generation, already respected for affordability, reliability, and excellent practicality, demonstrates remarkable capability, versatility, and everyday driving enjoyment.
