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.

Since its debut, the Mitsubishi Express has consistently proven itself a reliable companion within the commercial vehicle market, earning trust for its resilient, versatile, and practical nature. Known for blending straightforward design with utility and durability, this model has served as a dependable solution for daily business requirements and personal transport alike. To fully appreciate the attributes of the Mitsubishi Express specifically from 2020 to 2022, it is important to trace its history and consider the aspects that have made it a respected contender in its segment.
Historical Background and Model Evolution:
First Generation (1980–1986):
The Mitsubishi Express began its journey in 1980, debuting as the "L300" in markets such as Australia, Europe, New Zealand, and parts of Asia. In North America, it was introduced as the "Mitsubishi Van" and also appeared briefly under Chrysler’s brand as the "Dodge Ram 50" and "Plymouth Voyager." Characterized by robust build quality, affordability, efficient cargo handling capacities, and economical engines, the initial generation rapidly gained traction within the commercial van market. Its versatility and straightforward mechanics won popularity among businesses needing practical, cost-effective cargo solutions.
Second Generation (1986–1994):
The second iteration brought substantial refinement in terms of comfort, ergonomics, and engine efficiency. While maintaining core characteristics such as reliability and ease of maintenance, Mitsubishi’s enhancements included an upgraded cabin interior, improved suspension for smoother handling, and increased cargo space. Renamed the "Express" in Australia during this period, it cemented its market position as a practical, dependable work vehicle suitable for diverse commercial applications.
Third Generation (1994–2006):
Throughout these years, the Express emerged with further improvements, evolving to accommodate changing market expectations. Featuring refined styling and cabin ergonomics, broader engine choices—including more fuel-efficient diesel engines—and notable safety advancements, this version comfortably maintained its place as a popular fleet vehicle. Businesses favored the third generation for its dependability, practicality, and functional versatility in challenging daily operations.
Fourth Generation (2007–2014, Market-Specific):
The Express continued selectively in certain markets, including Australia and New Zealand. Though based predominantly on well-established earlier platforms, Mitsubishi kept refining and updating the features such as occupant comfort, safety, and efficiency. Renowned for its straightforward mechanical operations, the Express served primarily as a commercial workhorse, preferred for durability, ease of upkeep, and utilitarian focus.
Fifth Generation - Renault-Based Model (2020–2022):
After a production pause, Mitsubishi Express returned to Australia and New Zealand in 2020 based on the already-established Renault Trafic platform through a strategic vehicle-sharing arrangement. This generation represented a dramatic leap forward in technology, refinement, styling, and drivability compared to its predecessors, integrating European commercial van sensibilities—an advantage reflected in significantly improved ride comfort, contemporary cabin layout, increased cargo efficiency, and functional interior space. Incorporating established Renault engineering expertise, this iteration highlighted Mitsubishi’s commitment to providing modernised, pragmatic commercial vehicles.
Advances and Characteristics of the 2020-2022 Mitsubishi Express:
The latest Express models distinctly cater to driver comfort and operational versatility. Benefiting from Renault’s established platform, the van incorporates a practical, well-organised interior that prioritises ergonomics, convenience, and effective storage space. Efficient turbo-diesel engines, available with manual or automatic transmissions, assure commendable fuel economy, ample torque for smooth driving, and robust loads capacity, making the van suitable for diverse professional applications ranging from tradespeople to delivery services.
Infotainment and Connectivity Upgrade Potential:
Although the Express from this period delivers commendable reliability and practicality, taking advantage of modern technology opportunities can further heighten its usability and enjoyment. Notable among suitable upgrades are aftermarket infotainment and connectivity systems providing contemporary features—such as the premium head unit upgrade kit available through Brummstadt, tailored specifically to fit the 2020-2022 Mitsubishi Express seamlessly.
Integrated Modern Features of Brummstadt’s Head Unit:
The Brummstadt head unit installation offers immediate benefits in daily driving functionality. With wired and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, drivers gain convenient access to smartphone integration, streamlining both navigation and communication. Popular mapping apps—Google Maps, Waze, and Apple Maps—integrate effortlessly, providing real-time guidance without added distraction. Imagine a scenario of relaxing over dinner with friends or family members; the next stop pre-programmed into the smartphone swiftly transitions onto the vehicle’s infotainment screen through wireless Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, transforming the journey into a relaxed, intuitive experience even amidst unfamiliar routes or city traffic conditions.
Safety-Focused Enhancement:
Owners can also benefit from upgrading with optional 1080p HD front and rear cameras. Clearly capturing the vehicle's surroundings, these additions markedly strengthen on-road safety and offer recorded evidence in the event of road incidents. Thus equipped, Express drivers find greater peace of mind navigating busy urban streets or tight parking locations.
Entertaining and Innovative Capabilities:
In further extending pleasure and entertainment beyond standard use scenarios, passengers or off-duty crews can connect USB-enabled gaming controllers for multiplayer gameplay directly on the Brummstadt unit's high-resolution screen—efficiently transforming breaks between jobs or lengthy waits into engaging, enjoyable downtime. This unit elevates ordinary travel into a more satisfying social experience.
Smart Integration and Convenience:
The era of connected driving also extends into daily life. Integration with virtual assistants such as Siri or Google Assistant enables user-set commands to control media playback, manage navigation, or even communicate with smart home devices seamlessly. A command like "Hey Siri, please switch on the porch lights," issued en route home, demonstrates practical convenience, enhancing both safety and comfort upon arrival.
Overall Driving and Ownership Advantages:
With its sensible design, proven efficiency, capable load-bearing construction, and reliability, the Mitsubishi Express from 2020-2022 inherently meets the practical demands of its segment. Its European platform smoothly balances cargo-oriented toughness with cabin refinement. The addition of upgraded infotainment and connectivity options provided by advanced solutions such as the Brummstadt premium head unit essentially transforms driver–vehicle interaction towards greater convenience, practicality, comfort, and enjoyment. By integrating sharper technology, occupants appreciate valuable improvements in navigation, entertainment flexibility, active safety, productivity, and general convenience throughout their daily routines.
In this light, the Mitsubishi Express models between 2020-2022 form a compelling narrative of practical evolution combined seamlessly with modern requirements. Leveraging intelligent aftermarket integration allows users to experience the full scope of contemporary practicality, technological excellence, driver safety, and enjoyable commuting that characterizes today’s automotive era.
