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 Nissan Altima has long held its position as a respected figure among mid-sized sedans, blending reliability, practicality, and evolving sophistication with each successive generation. Offering a blend of balanced comfort, thoughtfully engineered efficiency, and graceful styling, the Altima has become highly regarded across various global markets. Recognized also as the Nissan Teana within markets such as Asia and Australia, subtle global variations carry minor adjustments suited to regional tastes and expectations. Understanding the Nissan Altima (L33 series, spanning model years 2013-2018) fully requires examining how this mid-sized sedan evolved across its generations, consistently striving toward increased refinement, performance capabilities, and technological advancements.
The Nissan Altima’s Historic Path to Excellence:
First Generation – U13 (1993-1997):
Initial offerings of the Altima began as compact, efficient sedans, focusing largely on practicality and dependability. Early versions, powered by efficient 4-cylinder engines, carved their reputation based on straightforward reliability and impressive economy. These fundamental attributes earned them broad consumer respect as affordable family transportation across North America.
Second Generation – L30 (1998-2001):
Progressing naturally, the second-generation further solidified the Altima’s reputation for rugged dependability, introducing improved refinement, enhanced cabin comfort, and additional convenience features. With incremental styling enhancements and improved material quality, the Altima further appealed to drivers seeking a dependable and affordable commuting solution without sacrificing a touch of class.
Third Generation – L31 (2002–2006):
This generation represented significant upgrades in size and character, shifting the Altima into the mid-size class while introducing a potent 3.5-liter V6 engine option. Drivers praised the L31’s energetic engine options, spacious interiors, and a reputation of reliability, making considerable strides in the increasingly competitive midsize family-sedan segment.
Fourth Generation – L32 (2007–2012):
During these years, Nissan sharpened Altima’s styling, increased the level of standard luxury amenities, and introduced available advanced technologies like keyless entry, push-button start, improved navigation systems, and advanced entertainment options. A popular continuously variable transmission (CVT) option improved fuel efficiency, smoother riding characteristics, and responsive, seamless acceleration.
Fifth Generation – L33 (2013-2018):
The Altima L33 series remains notable thanks to Nissan’s deliberate advances in design, efficiency, comfort, and technology. With modernized styling, refined cabin spaces, and improved fuel economy propelled by updated powertrains and continuously variable transmissions, this iteration earned consistent praise for economic engine operation, quietness, and generous passenger room. Available advanced driver assistance technologies, such as blind-spot monitoring, lane-departure warnings, and forward collision alerts, made the 2013-2018 Altima an attractive choice in its category. Internationally, many markets promoted the Nissan Teana as the platform sibling—offering premium features similarly praised in global markets for refined comfort and quiet elegance.
The Nissan Altima L33 offered balanced driving dynamics capable of comfortably negotiating urban environments and long highway commutes. Owners frequently enjoyed the rewards of a tuned suspension that delivered confident control without sacrificing balanced comfort and composed handling. Efficient, powerful engines delivered confident passing performance without compromising market-leading fuel economy—an important strength during a period of fluctuating fuel prices and consumer priorities toward efficiency.
Thoughtful Technology Integration with Brummstadt’s Premium Infotainment Upgrade:
The Altima’s factory infotainment system in this generation, while functional, might not encompass certain advanced integrations expected by modern drivers. For drivers seeking these modern technologies, the Brummstadt Premium Head Unit serves as a technology-rich alternative. Specifically compatible with the Nissan Altima L33 (2013-2018), this aftermarket solution neatly fits within the original interior contours, preserving aesthetic harmony while providing significant technological improvement.
Crucially, the unit offers wired and wireless compatibility for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, meaning that smartphone-driven navigation is straightforward and effortless. Popular navigation tools such as Google Maps, WAZE, and Apple Maps route seamlessly through the residents’ phones into the generously sized and responsive touchscreen display—perfectly streamlining scenarios such as finishing a delightful dinner at a restaurant and effortlessly transitioning into driving directions set earlier via a phone before beginning the drive. The previously entered route simply shifts to the infotainment display within a moment, allowing drivers and passengers to calmly and smoothly navigate unfamiliar locations or unexpected road conditions.
Additional advanced options supported by this head unit include dual (front and rear) high-definition 1080p recording cameras. Installed discreetly, these cameras present instantaneous visibility improvements and provide invaluable evidence—documenting driving conditions, traffic incidents, or parking security scenarios. For family travels and evening commutes, the system even allows gaming controllers connected via USB, offering passengers enjoyable multiplayer games displayed directly on the infotainment screen, creating memorable experiences particularly appreciated on longer journeys.
Smart voice capabilities further extend everyday convenience substantially. Supporting both Apple’s Siri and Google’s Assistant ecosystems enables drivers to intuitively request routes, select media, make or respond to calls or messages, or even conveniently communicate with home-connected smart technology products. For instance, while returning home in the late evening hours, the driver can safely utilize voice commands like: “Hey Siri, turn on the porch lights,” preparing their surroundings comfortably and securely as they approach.
The advantages of this head unit naturally complement already strong practicalities showcased within the Altima, allowing owners expanded usability, contemporary connectivity, and meaningful daily convenience. Careful integration and familiarity ensure owners receive beneficial, relevant function and ease of use that reflect user needs and preferences enabled by modern, intuitive technology.
Benefits and Driving Experience:
The Nissan Altima L33 series steadfastly delivered confident power, smooth cruising, spacious accommodations, and impressive efficiency as primary strengths. Stylish lines balanced sophistication with simplicity, presenting a mid-sized sedan bearing elegance without pretension. Inside, quieter cabins, comfortable seating, and straightforward functionality provided an overall relaxed and welcoming atmosphere suitable across varying driving needs—whether routine commutes, family journeys, or leisurely road trips.
Incorporating meaningful technology upgrades such as the Brummstadt Premium Head Unit expands further on an already accomplished driving experience. Modern smartphone integrations, supportive navigation assistance, convenient entertainment options, expanded visibility solutions through cameras, and helpful voice-controlled smart home interactions thoughtfully combine to deliver relevant, valuable, daily practicality and satisfaction. These integrations ensure drivers and passengers alike recognize not only the established qualities of the Nissan Altima but also recognize the added significance modern technologies bring into routine experiences, creating continuously positive on-road moments.
