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 embodies a distinct lineage of automotive craftsmanship, deftly converging practicality, refinement, and performance. Tracing its story from inception to the admired 2013 GJ Series 1 showcases a thoughtful legacy, marrying style with function, comfort with dynamic handling, and consistently responding to evolving driver expectations.
Historical Journey of the Mazda 6:
Mazda 6 First Generation (GG; 2002-2008):
The journey started at the turn of the millennium with the introduction of the Mazda 6, or Atenza as it became known in the Japanese domestic market. Conceived as a replacement for the less dynamic Mazda 626/Capella, it distinctly positioned Mazda as a purveyor of vehicles that emphasized spirited driving attributes. The GG Mazda 6 was offered as a versatile sedan, wagon, and energy-infused liftback. Renowned worldwide for agile handling, harmonious styling, and impressive practicality, it quickly resonated with drivers seeking a comfortable yet athletic family vehicle. Its vigorous lines, engaging driving feel, and competitive feature set propelled it into global acclaim, setting the foundation for later generations.
Second Generation Mazda 6 (GH; 2008-2012):
Mazda continued embracing dynamic styling cues and driver-centric themes with the second generation—aesthetically revitalized, optimally proportioned, and further refined. Known as the GH series, notable improvements included enhanced interior comfort, increased interior space, more sophisticated safety systems, and an upgraded suspension that balanced comfort with responsive handling. Its sleek, aerodynamic silhouette not only caught attention visually but complemented its fuel economy and stability at higher speeds. This iteration marked Mazda's growing proficiency in delivering balanced vehicles appreciated by drivers worldwide for uniquely enjoyable road manners paired with excellent practicality.
Third Generation Mazda 6 (GJ Series; 2012-Present):
Debuting in late 2012 as a 2013 model, the third-generation Mazda 6 GJ series exhibited a clear evolution toward sophisticated design, thoughtfully executed ergonomics, refined performance, and advanced technology. Adopting Mazda's "KODO—Soul of Motion" design philosophy alongside groundbreaking SkyActiv technology—encompassing lightweight chassis and efficient powertrain enhancements—the 2013 Mazda 6 achieved acclaim for balancing driving performance and exemplary fuel efficiency. Carefully sculpted exterior proportions, emphasizing flowing contours and a graceful, athletic stance, helped position GJ Mazda 6 as a widely recognized benchmark in midsize sedans. Inside, an upscale presentation, featuring well-integrated ergonomics, premium materials, and thoughtfully arranged controls, resonated strongly with both critics and drivers.
In regions such as Asia, Europe, and Australia, the GJ series expanded the Mazda 6’s reputation significantly, maintaining the Atenza nameplate exclusively in Japan. Noteworthy for improved engine designs promoting lower emissions, superior fuel efficiency, harmonious driving qualities, and a premium aesthetic, the Mazda 6 GJ Series demonstrated adeptness in satisfying varied motoring appetites globally.
Exploring Integration of Advanced Infotainment Technology:
Owners of the Mazda 6 GJ Series 1 keen on integrating modern connectivity and entertainment solutions can leverage thoughtfully engineered aftermarket head units, such as those provided by Brummstadt. Seamlessly fitting within the original cabin layout, these specifically designed aftermarket head units allow the preservation of interior aesthetics and ergonomics while significantly revitalizing multimedia interface sophistication.
Brummstadt infotainment solutions notably encompass comprehensive compatibility across modern smartphone platforms, ensuring users enjoy wired and wireless access to Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Phone-integrated navigation applications like Google Maps, Apple Maps, and WAZE automatically synchronize into the infotainment display, fostering intuitive and effortless navigation.
Picture an evening dining outing with loved ones, comfortably concluding the meal while seamlessly preparing navigation routes directly on mobile devices. As the journey to visit friends begins, this pre-set guidance transitions effortlessly from phone to head unit through wireless CarPlay or Android Auto capabilities. Navigating city streets or rural backroads is stress-free, intuitive, and enjoyable with clearly displayed map visuals, enhancing both comfort and confidence along the journey.
In addition, the Brummstadt head unit further accommodates advanced safety and entertainment enhancements. Optional upgraded 1080p high-definition cameras—featuring front and rear recording capabilities—share clear, comprehensive perspectives around the vehicle, enhancing situational awareness and providing valuable documented records during any eventful unforeseen incidents.
Further elevating passenger enjoyment, the head unit uniquely supports console gaming directly via connected joysticks through integrated USB ports. On extended family trips, passengers can engage in interactive gaming sessions, converting travel times into enjoyable bonding opportunities rather than merely utilitarian transit.
Smart voice control integrations significantly broaden usability features—hands-free management of calls, messages, audio streaming, and seamlessly controlled navigation commands. Interaction goes further through voice assistant compatibility (such as Siri and Google Assistant), meaning users arriving home could conveniently issue voice commands directly from the vehicle, enabling tasks like turning on porch lights remotely through smart-home integrated technology prior to arrival.
Benefits and Distinctive Mazda 6 Ownership Experience:
The Mazda 6 GJ Series 1 naturally integrates core strengths in its balanced chassis, responsive handling attributes, refined drivetrain characteristics, sophisticated design details, driver-centric ergonomics, and overall practical appeal.

In its complete historical context—from initial GG series pioneering sporty practicality, GH series enhancing refinement and comfort, through to GJ Series bringing technical innovation, superior aesthetics, and harmonious driving qualities—the Mazda 6 unequivocally demonstrates Mazda’s conscientious evolution across generations. Advanced infotainment solutions align organically to provide cohesive and satisfying integration, reinforcing owners' connections with their vehicles on pragmatic and emotional levels, enhancing driving satisfaction, sophistication, and continued pleasure in daily journeys and extraordinary adventures alike.
