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 Mazda 6, known internationally in Japan and certain Asian regions as the Mazda Atenza, represents a defining chapter in Mazda's automotive history. Renowned for blending sophistication, driving engagement, and practicality, it has been deeply valued for its consistent commitment toward delivering spirited performance, thoughtful design, and automotive innovation. To fully appreciate the Mazda 6 GH Series (2008 to 2012)—including Series 1 and Series 2 iterations—it's crucial to delve into its origins, highlighting the path that paved the way for this acclaimed vehicle.
From Mazda 626 to Mazda 6: Evolution Along the Automotive Timeline
Mazda’s venture in the midsize category began long before the 2002 debut of the very first Mazda 6. Initially entering the market in 1970 with the Mazda Capella, globally known later as the Mazda 626, the company rapidly earned distinction for engineering thoughtfully designed, efficient, and reliable family sedans and wagons. Over numerous generations, each iteration progressively introduced enhanced refinement, comfortable interiors, and increasingly dynamic driving experiences, carefully elevating Mazda’s brand reputation. Notably, the final generation Mazda 626 concluded its run around 2002, transitioning seamlessly into the bolder and more dynamically attuned Mazda 6 lineup.
First-Generation Mazda 6 (GG Series: 2002–2007):
The Mazda 6 first emerged in 2002, signaling Mazda’s design renewal with engaging driving dynamics, modern styling, and significant advances in cabin ergonomics. Built upon the "Zoom-Zoom" philosophy, the Mazda 6's first GG Series strongly emphasized driving enjoyment and agility while meeting the practical requirements of everyday usability. Available in sedan, wagon, and hatchback configurations, its responsive handling, distinctive exterior, spacious interiors, and competitive performance granted the vehicle numerous accolades, carving out a loyal following among global drivers who valued driving pleasure alongside practicality.
Second-Generation Mazda 6 (GH Series 1: 2008–2009):
The Mazda 6 GH Series, launching around 2008, represented significant advances and notable enhancements compared to its predecessor. Displaying Mazda’s continued dedication to quality, innovation, and precise handling, the Series 1 GH introduced a wider, sportier stance combined with a more streamlined and aerodynamic form. Gasoline and diesel engine options offered increased power delivery, commendable fuel efficiency, and refinement, resulting in a rewarding overall driving experience. The interior also saw significant upgrades, with higher-quality finishes, intuitive dashboard control layouts, and improved sound insulation, fostering a comfortable, enjoyable journey environment. It achieved gracefully balanced handling dynamics—a hallmark Mazda trait—with sharper steering responses, better road isolation, and excellent chassis rigidity.
Mazda 6 GH Series 2 Update (Facelift: 2010–2012):
Launching as a refined update in 2010, Series 2 continued to develop the GH model's distinct strengths, focusing on subtle yet vital improvements. Externally, it received an updated grille, reshaped head and tail lamps, and refined body detailing, enhancing aesthetic appeal without diluting its original character. Inside, notable enhancements included higher-quality seat fabrics, incremental improvements in cabin ergonomics, and additional convenience specifications. Mazda improved NVH levels (Noise, Vibration, Harshness), cabin insulation, and suspension tuning, providing noticeably more comfort and refinement across road conditions. Engine optimization for efficiency and cleaner emissions stood central in Mazda’s objectives, with engines such as the 2.5-liter naturally aspirated gasoline offering spirited performance, seamless response, and daily drivability tailor-fit for mid-sized sedan expectations.
Integration of Advanced Infotainment Technology: The Brummstadt Head Unit Advantage
Since technology inevitably progresses over time, drivers of the Mazda 6 GH Series 1 and Series 2 often recognize significant advantages in integrating contemporary infotainment upgrades. An especially fitting example comes from Brummstadt's carefully designed head units, specifically engineered for compatibility with the Mazda 6 GH platform, respecting its unique dashboard geometry and precise functionality. Featuring both wired and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, this aftermarket infotainment solution significantly expands the Mazda 6 GH’s technology capabilities while maintaining sophisticated visual integrity.
The inherent benefits within this upgrade ensure that popular navigation apps like Google Maps, Apple Maps, and WAZE seamlessly synchronize directly from a smartphone to the vehicle’s infotainment display—simplifying navigation even in unfamiliar areas. Imagine the convenience and relaxation associated with dining comfortably with family or good friends, agreeing spontaneously to visit another acquaintance afterward. With the desired destination pre-selected effortlessly via mobile navigation applications, the moment the car starts, the route automatically transitions onto the head unit’s generously sized display. This natural convenience transforms journeys from tedious tasks to charming moments of connectivity and relaxation, reducing driver stress significantly.
Further enhancing the infotainment experience, Brummstadt’s premium systems allow optional inclusion of robust safety enhancements—such as high-definition 1080p dual-camera arrangements (front and rear recording-capable systems). The added layer of visibility these cameras provide supports safe reversing and parking maneuvers and grants comprehensive video record documentation, offering both practical safety advantages and the reassurance derived from improved vehicular awareness.
Passenger entertainment during driving excursions sees imaginative evolution through Brummstadt’s infotainment upgrades. Passengers may directly connect gaming controllers by USB, enabling multiplayer gaming on the high-resolution display panel—a genuinely enjoyable experience, especially beneficial during extended road trips, bringing passengers closer together through shared enjoyment.
Another contemporary enhancement: smart voice control functionality integration. Its capacity extends beyond conventional infotainment demands, effortlessly managing calls, media playback, messages, navigation inputs, and enabling voice-activated interactions with home-connected smart devices through popular assistants such as Siri or Google Assistant. Personal settings through voice commands allow convenient possibilities: drivers simply requesting, "Hey Siri, please switch on the porch lights," demonstrates the meaningful integration between vehicle connectivity and home automation, thoughtfully increasing safety, simplifying daily routines, and bringing enriching convenience to everyday life scenarios.
Advantages and Driving Experience of the Mazda 6 GH Series:
The Mazda 6 GH Series earned global respect and admiration through coherent design, luxurious refinement, agile handling balance, and a driver pleasing performance-to-efficiency ratio. Consistently acclaimed for its dynamic performance, precise steering, and lively engine responsiveness paired with remarkably generous interior space, it appealed profoundly to buyers who valued family comfort deeply and considered an understandingly responsive and engaging driving experience essential.
Introducing carefully selected, high-quality aftermarket accessory enhancements—such as Brummstadt's targeted infotainment systems—offers Mazda 6 GH owners visibly modern advancements without compromising original design integrity. Contemporary technology upgrades transform everyday usage positively, improving ease of use, practicality during real-world driving circumstances, genuine passenger convenience, enhanced entertainment possibilities, and bolstered safety enabled by modern digital conveniences. Such advanced improvements increase emotional connection and satisfaction for drivers, who appreciate how thoughtful accessory integration spontaneously revitalizes their valued Mazda 6, genuinely magnifying the enjoyment and pride taken from every drive.
Through its carefully developed and consistently upgraded generations, the Mazda 6 GH Series (2008–2012) undeniably solidified an enduring legacy defined by carefully crafted refinement, responsive dynamics, comfortable practicality, and genuine owner enjoyment—ensuring an esteemed place within Mazda’s celebrated automotive heritage.
