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 Suzuki Celerio has crafted a distinctive presence in the global automotive landscape as a symbol of practical motoring. Compact, efficient, and accessible, the Celerio embodies the enduring spirit of thoughtful urban mobility. Produced by Japanese manufacturer Suzuki, the Celerio stands out across numerous markets due to its practicality, noteworthy fuel economy, and approachable pricing. To fully appreciate the evolution leading to the 2014–2022 LF series Celerio, it is helpful to trace how Suzuki's vision evolved, steadily transforming from its roots into the contemporary hatchback that drivers appreciate today.
Historical Context and Evolution of the Suzuki Celerio:
The Suzuki Celerio emerged onto the global stage initially as a successor to Suzuki's two notable compact models—the Alto (internationally) and the A-Star (in India). Understanding its lineage requires highlighting these earlier models that fundamentally shaped its design philosophy and character.
Suzuki Alto (1979 onward):
Suzuki introduced the Alto nameplate in 1979 as a compact kei car, initially designed specifically for the congested Japanese roadways. The Alto quickly earned a favorable reputation as a practical, simple, fuel-efficient commuter vehicle, perfect for affordable urban transportation. Its compact dimensions, affordability, and outstanding fuel economy ensured strong popularity in Japan, which later translated globally in various international markets. Over successive generations, the Alto grew progressively more refined, maintaining small dimensions but increasingly prioritizing efficiency and modern comforts.
Suzuki A-Star and Related Models (2008–2014):
In 2008, Suzuki released the A-Star, a contemporary compact hatchback intended primarily for global export, including European countries and India. The A-Star, manufactured mostly in India by Maruti Suzuki, quickly became recognized as an affordable, economical, and reliable urban hatchback. It was precisely this global appeal that underpinned its significance for Suzuki's compact segment, laying essential groundwork in terms of compact proportions, high fuel efficiency powertrains, and affordability.
Introduction to the Suzuki Celerio (LF, 2014–2022):
The Suzuki Celerio LF launched internationally in 2014 as a thoroughly modern successor to the Alto and A-Star nameplates. Built primarily in Thailand, India (as Maruti Suzuki), and later marketed globally—including Europe, Australia, Asia, and parts of Central and South America—this hatchback debuted as a truly global offering. Its carefully optimized design incorporated Suzuki’s "small but spacious" engineering principle, representing substantial forward progress in cabin ergonomics, practicality, and passenger comfort.
The Celerio gained positive recognition due to its compact yet roomy interior, noteworthy luggage and cargo flexibility, and straightforward design ethos. Under the hood, the emphasis remained strongly on fuel-wide efficiency, indicated by the impressive numbers achieved by Suzuki's economical 1.0 litre, three-cylinder petrol engine, delivering balanced performance and frugality suited ideally for urban commuters. This thoughtful blend of compact exterior dimensions, generous interior space, solid fuel economy, and approachable pricing positioned the Celerio attractively within crowded urban markets.
Across various markets like Australia and Europe, trims remained broadly consistent, focusing largely around standard comfort and convenience features—manual and automatic gearbox options (including Suzuki’s innovative automated-manual transmission, Auto Gear Shift or AGS), efficient engines, practical connectivity, and simple yet proven engineering primed for everyday usability.
Product Integration and Enhancement with a Premium Infotainment System:
While the factory infotainment options on the Suzuki Celerio were designed around simplicity and affordability, today’s drivers often seek more contemporary technology integrations. The premium head unit upgrade kit from Brummstadt emerges as a suitable choice, specifically designed for vehicles like the 2014–2022 Suzuki Celerio LF requiring an advanced, connectivity-driven infotainment solution.
This upgraded head unit seamlessly facilitates both wired and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, thoughtfully integrating smartphone-driven navigation apps such as Google Maps, Apple Maps, and WAZE directly onto its display. Consider the experience of dining out with close family, then swiftly shifting gears to head toward a friend’s nearby residence. With the smartphone navigation previously arranged via mobile device, route details smoothly and automatically transfer onto the head unit’s clear color touchscreen display the moment the vehicle starts. Familiar apps offer intuitive map navigation, indicating ideal routes—making transitions smoother, calmer, and notably stress-free.
Complementing visualization, the upgraded head unit further supports an optional addition of front and rear high-definition 1080p recording cameras, markedly improving visual awareness for parking maneuvers and offering dependable recorded footage should unforeseen circumstances arise.
Yet the utility of this advanced infotainment system extends far beyond navigation and safety enhancements. For passenger entertainment during extended journeys or traffic hold-ups, gaming controllers may be connected directly via the unit’s USB interfaces, rendering games playable on-screen, transforming even the most routine drives into engaging experiences enjoyed amongst passengers.
Further enhancing convenience, the unit supports sophisticated voice-activated control. With intuitive voice commands via Siri or Google Assistant, passengers manage music playlists, phone calls, messaging, and route navigation effortlessly and hands-free. Even interaction with connected home devices becomes achievable: imagine requesting, "Hey Siri, turn on the front porch lights," ensuring comfort and security for an effortless return home.
Benefits and Advantages of the Suzuki Celerio (LF Series):
Reflecting on the Celerio's contributions to Suzuki’s automotive philosophy, the real-world advantages of driving a Suzuki Celerio LF become readily apparent. Optimal proportions provide exceptional urban maneuverability yet allow a surprisingly accommodating passenger and cargo space within, enhanced even further by interior flexibility. Its efficient drivetrain reliably delivers low fuel consumption, keeping running costs comfortably within reach for daily drivers.
Owners also appreciate the reliability exemplified by Suzuki’s robust mechanical simplicity—less complexity translates to reduced maintenance requirements. The overall driving experience confidently rewards simplicity, practical enjoyment, and dependable longevity. This combination of economical and functional practicality, coupled with thoughtful interior accommodation, continues to resonate strongly among global urban drivers.
Equipping the Suzuki Celerio with modern infotainment, technological, and safety-focused accessories builds meaningfully upon existing vehicle qualities. By introducing helpful smartphone integration, precision navigation, voice control assistance, entertainment, and unobtrusive video safety solutions, advanced infotainment solutions like Brummstadt’s provide new vitality in daily commuting. Ultimately, this careful addition to the already commendable Celerio elevates connections, broadens usability, and significantly deepens everyday ownership satisfaction.
Such considered enhancement substantially expands upon the core views that underpin Suzuki's compact hatchback: offering clever spatial efficiency, accessible technology integration, dependable practicality, and a truthful expression of motoring simplicity in line with modern urban life.
