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 Patrol stands prominently in automotive lore, revered globally for its rugged engineering, exceptional off-road capability, and a pristine evolution from its modest beginnings to the refined Y62 series. As one of Nissan's seminal four-wheel-drive vehicles, it has been known under different names in distinct regional markets, notably as the Safari in regions such as Japan, enjoying popularity across Australia, the Middle East, Africa, and beyond, where tough terrain demands robust performance.
Tracing back its lineage unveils decades of responsive adaptation to design preferences, technological innovation, and evolving driver expectations.
Historical Overview and Legacy of the Nissan Patrol Series:
First Generation (4W60 Series – 1951-1960):
The Patrol's roots reach back to post-war Japan, debuting as the modest 4W60. Built as a hearty utilitarian vehicle for demanding duties, it captured respect quickly for solid build quality, reliability in adverse conditions, and enduring robustness. The Patrol then established itself as a trustworthy companion notably among adventurers, farmers, and exploration crews.
Second Generation (60 Series – 1960-1980):
Expanding on the foundation laid earlier, Nissan advanced the Patrol with the internationally recognized 60 Series. Its sturdy steel body, straightforward mechanics, and powerful inline-six engines established a global reputation as a rugged patrol, increasingly deployed in military, agricultural, and remote exploration purposes, translating its reliability and simplicity into iconic status.
Third Generation (160 Series – 1980-1989):
The Patrol 160 Series notably introduced growth in style, mechanical comfort and refinement, shifting from a strictly utilitarian vehicle towards a more balanced recreational character. Its powerful inline-six engines and upgraded interior comfort gained loyal followers internationally, notably in Australia, where Patrols became key off-road companions suited comfortably for long-distance touring and exploration.
Fourth Generation (Y60 – 1987-1997):
Known globally as the "GQ," this marked an important milestone bringing refinement without sacrificing off-road prowess. While it retained leaf-spring suspension in some commercial variants, recreational models shifted towards coil springs, enabling smoother ride quality and improved handling. With robust diesel and petrol engines, the Patrol GQ entrenched itself deeply into off-road communities and rapidly fortified its position, gaining admiration among Australian and Middle Eastern off-road communities in particular.
Fifth Generation (Y61 – 1997-2016):
The Y61, or "GU" as famously known in Australia, enjoyed extraordinary longevity, thanks to its proven engineering, sturdy platform, and reliable yet powerful turbo-diesel and inline-six petrol engines. This generation shifted toward greater driver comfort, refined interior layouts, and enhanced occupant safety measures, all strengthening its desirability among families, off-road travelers, and four-wheel-drive hobbyists. Even years after its debut, the Y61 maintained strong resale values and extensive access to aftermarket and genuine components, securing continued popularity.
Sixth Generation (Y62 – 2010-present):
With the Y62 Patrol, Nissan undertook a significant range transformation—prioritizing upscale refinement and luxury features without compromising the model's high capability off-road spirit. Launched internationally in 2010 and arriving in Australia in 2013, the Y62 significantly deviated from earlier models by offering exclusively powerful V8 petrol engines—representing Nissan's deliberate shift toward higher performance and premium presentation. Its elegant design integrated modern sophistication, while maintaining Patrol’s famed off-road prowess, thanks to advanced terrain-management systems and hydraulic body motion control. Drivers hailed this generation for its combination of commanding power, luxe-oriented interior comfort, and noteworthy refinement, thriving exceptionally well among enthusiasts in Australia and the Gulf region, cementing its reputation as a luxurious yet immensely capable exploration vehicle.
Enhancing Nissan Patrol Y62 through Thoughtful Infotainment Upgrades:
The essence of the Y62 Patrol not only encompasses strong mechanical abilities but also modern comfort, technology, and connectivity—especially critical to today’s discerning drivers. Recognizing a premium infotainment upgrade from Brummstadt helps unlock added utility, connectivity, and entertainment capability, employing technology that integrates elegantly into the cabin’s dashboard, seamlessly matching the interior aesthetics and functionality standards Patrol owners prize.
Specifically tailored to Nissan Patrol Y62 (2013-2022), Brummstadt's upgrade system ensures comprehensive compatibility with desirable modern connectivity solutions, featuring both wired and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto functionality. This compatibility ensures simplified access to leading navigation platforms including Google Maps, Apple Maps, and WAZE, establishing reliability during journeys whether exploring off-road adventures, navigating city commutes, or handling unexpected trips.
Imagine an evening spent at a family dinner, destination pre-set in a smartphone via Google Maps. Stepping into the vehicle later, routes automatically appear on the large infotainment display—wirelessly through Apple CarPlay or Android Auto—so the driver proceeds effortlessly towards planned locations, minimizing distraction and enabling smoother transitions.
Brummstadt’s system further accommodates optionally available advanced 1080p high-definition cameras—front and rear—offering valuable recording capabilities. This added visibility significantly contributes to safer, more confident driving, particularly appreciated when navigating challenging terrains, tight urban environments, or in situations requiring precise maneuvering.
Ensuring family journeys are memorable yet relaxing, the device supports direct gaming via its USB connections, enabling co-passengers to engage in multi-player gaming sessions directly integrated with the infotainment display. Moreover, intelligent integration of voice-assistant compatibility elevates driving convenience: commands to Siri or Google Assistant handle in-car media, call management and navigation effortlessly, and extend seamlessly to interacting with smart home systems remotely—perhaps remotely activating home porch lights while arriving on an evening return.
Recognizable Benefits and Driving Advantages of the Nissan Patrol Y62:
Maintaining its reputable off-road muscle blended with refined luxury, the Patrol Y62 stands tall among large SUVs for its impressive on-road ride comfort, spacious cabin arrangements, powerful performance via V8 engines, confident towing abilities, and thoughtfully executed interior luxuries. Modern engineering techniques like Independent Hydraulic Body Motion Control maintain exceptional ride comfort and off-road agility, setting the Patrol Y62 apart as a versatile contender that comfortably manages urban sophistication and serious terrain capability alike.
Technological upgrades such as Brummstadt premium infotainment solutions enhance Patrol ownership significantly, nurturing intimacy between driver and vehicle through heightened connectivity, amplified entertainment value, and seamlessly improved functionality—transforming each journey into pleasant memories and refined experiences. From enjoying quality gaming sessions on lengthy road trips, comfortably transitioning between plans through intuitive smartphone integration, to securing enhanced safety perspectives through comprehensive camera systems, these technological integrations amplify Nissan Patrol Y62 ownership satisfaction substantially, providing additional appeal accessible through uniquely tailored aftermarket support.
From its early days as a reliable, robust explorer vehicle to the contemporary Y62 luxurious yet immensely capable SUVs, the Nissan Patrol heritage embodies successful adaptation, purposeful evolution, and distinct identity—earning its place in global automotive admiration as a versatile, powerful, and historically respected nameplate. Equipping the Patrol Y62 with carefully considered modern technology further underscores its celebrated legacy, creating experiences identical to the masterful and purposeful narrative Nissan sought throughout this vehicle’s extensive evolutionary journey.
