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 Sportage has long served as a prominent fixture in Kia's global lineup, admired for its versatile combination of practicality, contemporary styling, and functional design. To fully appreciate the generation spanning from 2015 to 2018 (designated the QL model), it is helpful to explore the history and progression of the entire Sportage nameplate, acknowledging the milestones and refinements that have led to the popularity of the QL series.
Historical Progression of the Kia Sportage:
First Generation (NB-7, 1993–2002):
The Kia Sportage debuted as a rugged, functional small SUV tailored for drivers seeking a capable, compact vehicle. This initial generation prioritized simplicity and durability. Available worldwide—including North America, Europe, and Australia—the Sportage quickly gained recognition as a robust value-for-money offering. Despite early simplicity in features and efficiency, it attracted audiences who valued sturdy build quality, easy maneuverability, and affordability.
Second Generation (JE/KM, 2004–2010):
After briefly pausing production, Kia reintroduced the Sportage significantly revamped and catering to an evolving global market. Embracing a more refined, urban-oriented design approach, this iteration matured notably, receiving acclaim for enhanced comfort, improved interior materials, better ride quality, and increased fuel-efficiency options. This generation found success particularly in urban contexts worldwide, appreciating the balance of practicality, affordability, and modern styling.
Third Generation (SL, 2010–2015):
The SL series represented an even greater leap forward, especially concerning design sophistication. Kia brought in renowned automotive designer Peter Schreyer, who oversaw an extensive aesthetic overhaul introducing a sleek, stylish exterior. The SL Sportage had sharper, more modern lines and forward-thinking technological appointments. Notably popular in Europe and Australia, it embraced a youthful yet family-friendly image accompanied by upgraded features—such as panoramic sunroof options, keyless entry systems, improved infotainment, and advanced safety systems—which presented a compelling alternative to traditionally dominant Japanese and European competitors.
Fourth Generation (QL, 2015–2021):
The 2015–2018 Kia Sportage QL introduced further enhancements, slowly shifting into an upscale positioning. Maintaining proportions and sophistication, yet with more assertive front-end styling featuring Kia’s recognizable "Tiger-Nose" grille prominently, the QL series quickly garnered widespread acclaim. Its interior refinement, usability enhancements, and increased comfort levels attracted families and urban drivers seeking practicality without sacrificing aesthetic appeal. Improved insulation reduced cabin noise, and bolstered safety features—including autonomous emergency braking, lane departure warnings, and blind-spot assistance—further solidified its standing against competing compact SUVs from both mainstream and premium segments.
QL Sportage: Highlights and Advantages (2015–2018):
Worldwide, the Kia Sportage QL earned praise for addressing practical everyday family demands in a thoughtfully designed package. It seamlessly balanced comfort, elegance, and performance, satisfying diverse user needs. Comfortable interiors, ergonomic seat designs, spacious cabin areas, strong build quality, and advanced safety features helped the QL expand Kia’s brand image as progressive yet affordable. The dynamic characteristics—in handling and responsive drivability—impressed drivers who valued confidence across varying road conditions, from dense city traffic scenarios to leisurely weekend explorations.
Complementing Modern Technology: Tailored Infotainment Integration from Brummstadt
Though Kia’s factory infotainment system for the QL generation was functional and adequate, owners seeking advanced integration and a feature-rich experience naturally explore premium alternatives available through specialist vendors like Brummstadt. The specifically developed premium head unit is carefully designed to align effectively with Kia Sportage dashboard aesthetics and infrastructure.
Offering precisely engineered support for both wired and wireless Apple Carplay and Android Auto, this head unit ensures effortless smartphone connectivity, clear navigational support, and intuitive operation. Drivers can conveniently set destinations using popular navigation apps such as Google Maps and WAZE directly from their phones. Imagine, for instance, a relaxing family dinner scenario where plans are spontaneously formulated to visit friends afterward; entering the destination is straightforward via the phone, which instantly and wirelessly synchronizes the route onto the upgraded unit’s screen for smooth travel.
Additionally, practical safety can be substantially improved by integrating optional 1080p HD front and rear cameras which record driving conditions and assist parking, enhancing driver confidence and safeguard against accidents or parking lot incidents.
Beyond essential navigation and safety upgrades, passengers benefit from expanded entertainment capabilities. USB connectivity included in this premium head unit accommodates multiple joysticks, enabling in-car gaming. Passengers can take delight in friendly gaming competitions on the integrated vibrant screen, transforming longer journeys into fun, interactive events.
Advanced voice control integration grants users the power to manage multimedia playback and communicate with devices and applications without distraction. Compatible voice assistants like Apple's Siri and Android's Google Assistant allow drivers a safe, efficient way to access navigation, media, and handle communications hands-free. Smartly supported voice assistant integration also facilitates connections with home-based IoT (Internet of Things) systems—for example, remotely instructing home automation to switch on porch lighting before arriving—adding security and comfort within seamless vehicle-to-home integration.
Advantages Delivering Overall Driving Satisfaction:
The Sportage QL generation demonstrates a profoundly appealing mix of style, performance, and practicality. Drivers who select informative and intuitive technological advancements further capitalize on the model’s inherent strengths, raising long-term driving happiness, convenience, and practicality. Integrating compatible systems such as Brummstadt’s premium head unit directly translates to improved journeys—sharp navigation, enjoyable communication, seamless connectivity—and heightened safety and entertainment options, enhancing the driver’s daily life through thoughtful technological integration.
Ultimately, the 2015-2018 Kia Sportage QL represents a well-rounded, compelling compact SUV that blends thoughtful aesthetics and pragmatic strengths. Cocooned within its occupant-oriented interior space and now complemented by tailored technologies, it confidently meets varied real-world family or personal transportation needs—delivering tangible, satisfying driving experiences reflecting individual tastes, practicality, identity, and pride in automotive craftsmanship.
