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 CX-9 is celebrated internationally as an innovative family SUV, combining stylish design, spacious practicality, and rewarding driving dynamics. Its reputation for versatility, comfort, and performance is firmly established through thoughtful design evolution seen from its inception onwards.
Historical Evolution of the Mazda CX-9 Series:
First Generation CX-9 (2007–2015 — TB series):
Mazda introduced the CX-9 in 2007 as a sleek, three-row crossover SUV positioned strategically to cater to families seeking a larger, yet dynamic alternative to traditional boxy SUVs. This debut model, internally designated as the TB series, quickly gathered considerable acclaim by offering exceptional road manners paired harmoniously with generous interior dimensions and practicality. Initially designed with inspiration from Mazda's "Zoom-Zoom" driving ethos, it quickly distinguished itself from more utilitarian competitors with precise handling, engaging driving characteristics, and sophisticated refinement.
Styling and design cues drew attention for their modern aesthetics, reflecting a sportier interpretation compared to segment rivals at the time, while the premium quality cabin provided thoughtful ergonomics, upscale materials, and comprehensive features for everyday comfort and convenience. Seating versatility, cargo-carrying ability, and effective sound insulation in early CX-9 models enhanced recognition among both professionals and families alike, providing reassurance and enjoyment on daily drives or long journeys.
At launch, powering the first-generation CX-9 was a robust 3.5-liter V6 engine delivering smooth performance, upgraded shortly thereafter to a refined 3.7-liter V6 from 2008 onwards. Renowned for quiet, smooth power delivery balanced by reasonable efficiency, the larger V6 engine enhanced the initial model's appeal further, providing owners with ample power whether merging onto highways or tackling loaded weekend adventures.
In addition to dynamic capability and comfort, early CX-9 models gained popularity internationally across major markets, including Australia and North America. Noteworthy practical features such as available all-wheel drive, impressive standard safety configurations, and user-friendly amenities established the vehicle solidly as a capable and responsible choice for discerning family buyers.
A notable mid-refresh in 2010 brought the model forward aesthetically, introducing subtle but meaningful enhancements to the exterior such as front grille refinement, headlights adjustments, and interior technology updates to better align with owner expectations evolving toward greater connectivity and convenience. Enthusiasm grew steadily among a broadening buyer demographic appreciative of Mazda's efforts in blending practicality and premium feel within an approachable family vehicle.
Throughout its lifecycle, the first-generation CX-9 remained consistently popular due to its successful combination of stylish road presence, roomy interior accommodations, dynamic driving appeal, and day-to-day user friendliness. Its reputation evolved from simply practical family transport to something more substantial—a thoughtfully designed, genuinely enjoyable vehicle providing reward not only for passengers but particularly for those appreciating engaging driving alongside versatile family usability.
Integrating Upgraded Infotainment Technology into the Mazda CX-9 TB:
Though recognized for notable comfort, space, and drivability, technology evolved significantly in the years following initial model introductions. OEM infotainment systems available during this era offered slightly limited capability and connectivity by contemporary standards. Consequently, well-designed aftermarket solutions, such as those by Brummstadt, serve as welcomed enhancements addressing precisely these owner considerations.
Brummstadt’s dedicated premium head unit upgrade offers Mazda CX-9 TB owners significant contemporary convenience and enhanced connectivity capabilities. This specific integration preserves the visual aesthetics of the original cabin layout while introducing modern technological functionality owners will find intuitive and reliable. Supporting both wired and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility directly addresses current expectations for comprehensive in-car connectivity. At the heart of superior integration capabilities lie apps such as Google Maps, Apple Maps, and Waze—critically important resources ensuring smooth and predictable travels.
Imagine a comfortable evening dinner with friends or family, enjoyable conversations unfolding naturally. After dessert is savored, the next destination—a friend’s nearby home—has already been conveniently pre-set on a smartphone navigation app. Upon activating wireless connection to the Mazda, these navigation instructions seamlessly appear on the Brummstadt head unit display, providing an effortless transition filled with confidence and relaxation when navigating city streets or busy traffic pathways.
Further distinguishing this head unit is the optional inclusion of a high-definition 1080p camera system positioned strategically in front and rear, offering recording capabilities. Beyond clear visual aids when maneuvering within tight spots, this system contributes significantly toward overall peace of mind through recording essential video evidence during unexpected driving events, helping ensure responsibility and confident travel.
Adding to interior comfort and entertainment, supportive compatibility with USB-connected game controllers permits engaging multiplayer gaming opportunities for passengers during longer journeys. Landscape views transform into friendly competitions, creating lasting memories beyond standard transit expectations and ensuring every drive invites shared experiences and enjoyable moments.
Moreover, Smart Voice Control integrates naturally with the system, intelligently managing not only navigation, calls, and media playback, but even remotely interacting with smart home technology. A driver simply uttering "Hey Siri! Turn on the porch lights," as they approach their residence at night underlines practical convenience blended subtly with modern convenience expectations, marking another tangible technological benefit for owners living active, connected lives.
Benefits and Driving Experience Advantages:
The first-generation Mazda CX-9 consistently distinguished itself among family vehicles through thoughtful blending of performance dynamics, practicality, and understated refinement. Intelligent interior space utilization permitted versatility without compromising driving pleasure, while its striking yet purposeful exterior made favorable impressions across various global markets.
These first iteration models delivered rewarding driving characteristics and practicality that continue to resonate deeply among longstanding owners: responsive handling, balanced power delivery, perceptible comfort, and genuine practicality day-to-day. Vehicle enthusiasts recognized quickly that Mazda's clear attention extended beyond simple transport practicality towards meaningful driver engagement and occupant-focused convenience.
Complementing these attributes through contemporary infotainment enhancements amplify satisfaction enormously, introducing updated technological relevance thoughtfully into the original design context. Valuable modern features dramatically improve owner experience without compromising original visual elegance or ergonomics, empowering enjoyable driving moments further through seamless connectivity, refined entertainment opportunities, accessible navigation accuracy, and reassuring vehicle security systems.
Modernizing and personalizing the Mazda CX-9 TB places fresh vigor within familiar and much-appreciated surroundings, inviting feelings of renewed pride, benefit, and lasting emotional resonance among those enjoying the genuine character of Mazda’s dynamic, comfort-oriented vision of travel.
