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.

Mercedes-Benz introduced the M-Class, later known as the ML-Class, as a visionary exploration into luxury SUVs—delivering qualities of elegance, versatility, and prestigious automotive engineering into a market steadily embracing both comfort and capability in one sophisticated package. Particularly noteworthy among this lineage stands the ML300, spanning production years from approximately 2005 through 2013, revered as a remarkable marriage of robust design, refined luxury, and versatile driving capabilities.
Historical Context: The Emergence and Evolution of the Mercedes-Benz ML-Class:
First Generation W163 (1997-2005):
The journey toward luxury SUVs began with the Mercedes-Benz ML320, first unveiled in 1997. Representing the brand's ambitious endeavor in the then-burgeoning segment, the ML320 earned distinction due to its unmistakable elegance, rugged off-road capabilities, and family-oriented design. Produced primarily at Mercedes' factory in Tuscaloosa, Alabama—a pioneering move marking the first Mercedes models developed and assembled in the United States—the MB ML-Class quickly commanded worldwide attention. Owners cherished its balanced handling, safety innovations such as electronic stability control (ESP), and a thoughtfully designed interior that upheld Mercedes’ heritage of automotive refinement.
Second Generation W164 (2005-2011):
The second-generation ML-Class W164 personally resonates as a pivotal evolution with advanced innovations in engineering, style, and comfort. Arriving in global markets in 2005, this iteration showcased a streamlined, contemporary design, emphasizing more refined aerodynamics and a lower center of gravity for improved handling. Technological advances included the 7G-Tronic seven-speed automatic transmission, remarkable air suspension technology (optional AIRMATIC), and enhanced safety features, significantly strengthening its allure and reputation. Within this second-generation era, specifically from late 2009 onwards, the ML300 CDI (diesel variant) found particular popularity across global markets—including Europe, Asia, and Australia—valued for its impressive balance between fuel economy, torque-rich performance, and comfortable daily usability. The ML300 CDI attracted significant acclaim for its smooth 3.0-liter turbodiesel V6 engine, delivering satisfying power without compromising efficiency, and a versatile, luxurious cabin space ideally suited to long family trips or comfortable city commuting.
Third Generation W166 (2011-2019):
Advancing the line further, Mercedes introduced the ML-Class W166 in 2011, signaling an even more sophisticated evolution across comfort, luxury, and technological advancements. This generation’s design transformation embraced cleaner lines, elegant LED-styled illumination, and mature styling approaches that delighted global luxury SUV markets. Although the ML300 naming ceased after W164 in various markets, successors such as ML250 BlueTEC or ML350 subsequently carried the functionally similar spirit forward. Drivers appreciated refinements in driver assistance technology, fuel-efficient engines, superior cabin isolation from noise and vibration, and advanced comfort-oriented amenities—collectively solidifying continued relevance among luxury SUV buyers.
Integration of Premium Infotainment Options from Brummstadt:
Though factory-installed infotainment units within the Mercedes-Benz ML-Class offered respectable technological integration for their time, contemporary connectivity standards significantly evolved afterward—thus prompting selective and thoughtful upgrades. One suitable solution available through Brummstadt specifically addresses this preference, incorporating compatibility with ML-Class models from the second-generation W164 lineup (2005-2011) such as the globally popular ML300, along with other closely related models bridging similar production intervals.
The upgraded Brummstadt head unit arrives cohesively designed for natural dashboard integration. Offering dependable wired and wireless connections for Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, it notably elevates interaction possibilities with modern smartphone ecosystems. Owners employing favored applications such as Google Maps, Apple Maps, or WAZE discover newfound navigational assistance directly visible on the upgraded screen the moment they initiate departure. Picture ending a pleasant evening dining with loved ones: while conversation winds down, the following destination sits pre-selected on a smartphone’s navigation app. Upon stepping into the ML-Class cabin, the infotainment unit gracefully mirrors these directions onto its clear display via wireless connectivity—transforming the transition from relaxed dining table conversations directly into effortless route-guided journeys toward family or friends' homes, uncomplicated and comforting even during unfamiliar drives.
Additional available add-ons amplify utility and enjoyment parameters further. A premium optional 1080p HD front and rear camera upgrade delivers robust recording capability, ensuring increased visibility, safer maneuvering, and meaningful documentation of events encountered on-road. The Brummstadt head unit superbly supports interactive scenarios throughout drives, such as multiplayer gaming sessions enabled through direct joystick connection via integrated USB ports, turning extended travels into immersive shared experiences for passengers. Moreover, intelligent integration also unlocks potential connectivity with smart devices, leveraging voice command through built-in support for digital assistants such as Siri and Google Assistant. Consider arriving home late; a straightforward voice prompt—spoken casually within the cabin—securely powers porch lights, welcoming occupants warmly, seamlessly blending automotive journeys with interconnected everyday life.
Driving Advantages and Long-term Satisfaction:
The Mercedes-Benz ML300 CDI models provided tangible satisfaction through powerful yet economical diesel performance, practical versatility, mature styling cues complemented by indulgent comfort, and reassuring safety standards emerging from Mercedes’ long engineering heritage. When coupled with intelligently selected infotainment and entertainment-oriented upgrades, its inherent qualities distinctly translate toward comprehensive automotive satisfaction. The combined infusion of contemporary smartphone-integrated connectivity, superior navigational assistant features, sophisticated camera-enhanced security, and novel interactive multimedia opportunities significantly enriches day-to-day travels and exceptional journeys alike, ultimately amplifying feelings of satisfaction and pride for vehicle owners who have thoughtfully selected technological refinements precisely aligned with their automotive and lifestyle expectations.
With these thoughtful improvements seamlessly accompanying the Mercedes-Benz ML-Class’ extensive automotive heritage, this already admired SUV gains refreshed perspectives, ensuring enduring meaningful connections between valued vehicles, those driving them, and experiences that genuinely matter.
