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 Navara, known in several global markets as the Nissan Frontier, exemplifies a commendable balance of rugged practicality, reliable performance, and comfortable usability. Recognized across Australia, Asia, Europe, and Latin America as both a capable commercial workhorse and sophisticated city-friendly pickup, the Navara exhibits intelligent adaptability through each generation it has evolved from. To appreciate the craftsmanship and innovation of the Nissan Navara NP300 (DX/RX/ST/STX) launched in 2015, a glimpse into its long lineage offers invaluable insights into the cultural phenomenon of a pickup truck that remains globally acclaimed.
Historical Timeline and Evolution of the Nissan Navara:
1. First Generation Nissan D21 (1985–1997):
Debuting as the Nissan D21 globally—offered in select markets under the name Nissan Hardbody—this compact pickup appealed with a straightforward design and durable reliability. Within Australia and several parts of Asia, it was originally recognized as a vehicle robust enough for commercial tasks yet practical for personal use. This initial iteration quickly cultivated a devoted following due to its simplicity, fuel-efficient engines, and commendable sturdiness, allowing Nissan a solid foothold in the ultra-competitive utility vehicle segment.
2. Second Generation Nissan D22 (1997–2015):
The D22 series cemented itself as a favorite, particularly in Australia and Asia. Known simply as Navara in Australia and Europe and as Frontier in North American markets, this generation featured upgraded ergonomics, broadened engine selections (including efficient and powerful diesel engines), increased towing and payload capabilities, and a considerably improved riding experience. The lasting desirability stemmed from balancing rugged dependability with amenities that brought comfort to daily commutes, driving through city streets or distant rural areas alike.
3. Third Generation Nissan D40 (2005–2015):
With the introduction of the D40 series, Nissan pushed the Navara further upmarket, expanding its appeal into refined passenger comfort to complement its robust utility nature. The D40 brought a noticeably larger, more stylish form and a well-constructed interior closer to passenger car standards. Engines varied significantly across markets, with Australia and European versions highly commended for their turbo diesel engines with substantial torque output and towing ability. Increasingly advanced technology began featuring prominently in dashboard designs, positioning the Navara as a practical yet sophisticated daily-driving pickup truck choice.
4. Fourth Generation Nissan NP300 Navara (2015–Current):
Stepping forward in 2015, the NP300 Navara refined Nissan's pickup line considerably. Distinctively rebranded solely as Navara in Australia, and continuing the Frontier nameplate in certain Asian and Latin American markets, the NP300 emphasized refinement without sacrificing its field-tested utility strengths. Offering vehicle grades spanning DX (base), RX, the mid-level ST, and luxurious ST-X specification, Nissan provided versatility for various usage scenarios and customer expectations.
Design and Characteristic Highlights of the NP300 Navara (DX/RX/ST/ST-X):
- Design innovation exhibited in the NP300 Navara series provided sleeker body lines, contemporary muscular aesthetics, and refined aerodynamic efficiency. Upgraded exterior lighting, distinctive grille treatments, and robust panel sculpting created visual impact, appealing to a diverse buyer demographic.
- A critical breakthrough was adopting an innovative multi-link independent rear suspension—primarily reserved for higher-spec dual-cab versions such as the ST and ST-X—improving ride comfort significantly without sacrificing payload or towing capabilities.
- Inside, the NP300 offered passenger-focused ergonomics and premium-like cabin upgrades, with upper variants including advanced driver-assistance systems, leather upholstery, climate control, and infotainment advancements.
- Its range of fuel-efficient, torque-rich diesel and petrol engines provided confident operation in various terrains, balancing commendable towing capacities and remarkable fuel economy to satisfy both utility-based operators and private leisure drivers.
