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.

Historical Evolution of Renault Koleos:
Concept Origins (2000-2007):
Before the Koleos first edition came to fruition, Renault presented the Koleos Concept in 2006 at the Geneva Motor Show. This prototype demonstrated the brand's intention to blend passenger-car refinement with SUV characteristics, a pioneering move for Renault. Collaborating closely with Nissan—a strategic partner within the Renault-Nissan Alliance—the production Koleos borrowed many mechanical components from Nissan’s proven SUV platforms, particularly from the acclaimed Nissan X-Trail, ensuring reliability and off-road competence right from the onset.
Renault Koleos First Generation (2008-2015):
Debuting at the 2008 Geneva Motor Show as Renault's global compact SUV contender, the Koleos immediately gained attention for its contemporary styling, spacious cabin, and commendable off-road credentials. Offering both front-wheel and intelligent four-wheel-drive variants, it convincingly bridged the gap between urban comfort and adventure readiness.
Characterized by a streamlined exterior designed in collaboration with Renault’s South Korean subsidiary, Renault Samsung Motors (in some regions known specially as the Renault Samsung QM5), the Koleos featured a distinctive yet approachable silhouette. Equally appealing was its elevated, comfortable, and carefully considered interior cabin—spacious enough for family journeys and practically tailored with flexible seating arrangements.
Mechanically, early models featured Renault’s capable 2.0-litre diesel or petrol engines renowned for efficiency and sufficient power for city commutes or catching the open highway—all while retaining commendable fuel economy. Renault’s alliance with Nissan meant the first-generation Koleos drew on Nissan's robust engineering, benefitting directly in reliability terms. Off-road driving systems such as the All-Mode 4x4-i system provided impressive adaptability to various driving conditions—valued especially among drivers who balanced daily routines with occasional off-road outings.
Throughout its production cycle, the Koleos underwent incremental updates to maintain competitiveness. Mid-cycle refreshes in 2011 and 2013 contributed subtle but noteworthy styling enhancements, improved cabin materials, and notable advancement in technology—including upgraded infotainment, parking assistance systems, and enhanced overall ride comfort, keeping pace with changing consumer expectations.
Integrating Enhanced Infotainment Solutions:
By modern standards, early-generation Koleos infotainment systems were limited. As mobile technology rapidly progressed, many Koleos owners sought contemporary solutions enabling advanced connectivity, improved navigation, and broader entertainment options.
Brummstadt (brummstadt.com.au) offers a compatible premium head unit carefully tailored specifically for the Renault Koleos 2008-2015 models. The specially designed unit aligns naturally within the vehicle’s dashboard contours, preserving the factory style while significantly modernizing functionality.
This advanced infotainment system introduces both wired and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, granting seamless integration between smartphones and the in-car display. Owners benefit considerably from intuitive accessibility to frequently used navigation apps such as Google Maps, Apple Maps, or WAZE. Imagine a scenario: After a quiet evening dining with family, a spontaneous decision emerges to visit friends. Directions previously prepared on the mobile phone automatically appear on the head unit’s large screen—minimizing stress, promoting relaxation, and supporting easy route-following even in unfamiliar locales or traffic-heavy situations.
Incorporating an optional high-definition 1080p camera setup, this comprehensive upgrade adds front and rear recording capability to the Koleos, substantially improving the vehicle’s visibility, assistance, and safety parameters. Moreover, entertainment experiences inside the Koleos become significantly diversified through additional novel features—passengers, especially younger occupants, can utilize gaming controllers connected through USB ports directly on the head unit, transforming journeys into entertaining and engaging experiences.
Additionally, modern voice control features—leveraging smart assistants like Siri or Google Assistant—enable effective and simplified management of infotainment features, communication, and even home automation functionalities. Envision returning home at night, instructing “Hey Siri, switch on the porch lights!” directly from within the vehicle, securely illuminating home entry upon arrival, an example of how thoughtful design can seamlessly interconnect automotive technology with domestic conveniences.
Distinctive Advantages of the Renault Koleos 2008-2015:
Across its lifespan, the first-generation Renault Koleos retained clear advantages that attracted owners globally. Its careful balance of refined driving dynamics, adaptable cabin comfort, and practical functionality established it as a trusted and enjoyable companion for thousands of families worldwide. Advanced Nissan-derived drivetrain technology underpinned its reliability and all-terrain flexibility. Thoughtful ergonomic considerations within the cabin—like flexible seat configurations, generous storage compartments, and refined interior materials—created a pleasant atmosphere for daily commuting or long-haul adventures alike.
Notably, the subtle and purposeful aesthetic refinements across its updates offered discerning owners continuous, refreshed visual appeal, without unnecessary compromise of its original visual integrity and charm.
Considering the possibilities of personalized integration such as the advanced Brummstadt head unit only further elevates the inherent qualities of the original Koleos. These modern features unlock additional convenience, safety, entertainment, and user satisfaction—transforming ordinary drives into satisfying opportunities for joy, comfort, and meaningful human connection.
Overall, the Renault Koleos first-generation model, spanning the years 2008 to 2015, demonstrated Renault’s competence in merging urban refinement with robust reliability—qualities greatly strengthened today by thoughtful, purposeful aftermarket technology integrations available to discerning drivers.
