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 Toyota GT86, also internationally recognized by names such as Subaru BRZ and Scion FR-S, occupies a unique and esteemed place within the landscape of modern sports vehicles. Developed jointly by Toyota and Subaru, this model is well-regarded for its meticulous emphasis on the core driving experience—defined by precise handling characteristics, balanced chassis dynamics, classic rear-wheel-drive configuration, and a lightweight build philosophy. To fully appreciate the GT86 in its 2012-2016 iteration, it is valuable to trace the roots that inform its engaging driving personality and unique design heritage.
Historical Context of the Toyota 86:
Toyota's sporting history sets the stage, particularly the iconic AE86 Corolla Levin/Sprinter Trueno that debuted in 1983. Delightfully agile and affordable, the earlier AE86 variants quickly garnered immense popularity, thanks largely to their sporty silhouette, responsive handling, and a lively twin-cam, naturally aspirated engine. Beyond its technical appeal, the AE86 achieved remarkable fame through motorsport, Japanese street car culture, and notably through media such as the "Initial D" manga—a cultural resonance that cemented its legacy as a beloved enthusiast's vehicle year after year.
It is from this celebrated lineage that the Toyota GT86 derives its inspiration. Launched internationally in 2012 after prolonged anticipation from global automotive communities, the GT86 (also exported to North America as the Scion FR-S until 2016 and co-engineered as the Subaru BRZ with minor technical distinctions) emerged as Toyota’s heartfelt tribute to pure driver engagement—a deliberate departure from complex performance-enhancing technology, and instead highlighting simplicity and driver-involvement fundamentals.
Toyota GT86 2012-2016: A Deeper Look:
Built to rekindle the joys of traditional sports-car motoring, the GT86 boasts a compact and stylish profile marked by sharp lines and aerodynamic detailing. Understated yet clearly athletic, its sculpted body emphasizes both form and functionality, featuring a long, low bonnet, sleek roofline, and compact dimensions for optimal balance and agile handling capability. Engineered using a lightweight and rigid chassis, this vehicle's low center of gravity—partially achieved through the horizontally-opposed boxer engine provided by Subaru—augments outstanding road-holding attributes, composure in challenging bends, and intuitive responsiveness to driver inputs.
Powered by a naturally aspirated 2.0-liter boxer-4 engine (FA20), the GT86 produces approximately 200 horsepower delivered exclusively to the rear wheels through either a sleek six-speed manual or crisp automatic transmission. This configuration provides harmonious balance, linear acceleration, rewarding gear changes, and exceptional feedback, reinforcing drivers' personal connection with the road. With its sports-tuned suspension and precisely weighted steering, the GT86 distinguishes itself through cornering agility and pure driving charisma unmatched in its category at launch.
Bringing Modern Connectivity to the GT86—Product Integration:
A distinctly driver-oriented interior further enhances the GT86 experience, although drivers and passengers have recognized an increasingly evident limitation: standard infotainment systems often fail to reflect modern connectivity expectations. Addressing this, Brummstadt offers dedicated premium head unit upgrades, carefully selected to elegantly integrate within the GT86 dashboard space while preserving original design aesthetics.
These head units considerably expand multimedia functionality and improve driving satisfaction. Crucially, full compatibility with both wired and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto simplifies everyday interactions. For instance, imagine an evening dinner finished happily with friends—upon leaving the restaurant, the destination to a gathering at another friend’s home has already been preset on the driver's smartphone. Upon ignition, maps transfer seamlessly via wireless CarPlay or Android Auto onto the Brummstadt head unit’s clear and intuitive touchscreen, enabling stress-free and safe route guidance even across unfamiliar roads or through night-time visibility constraints.
Practical expansions are also available through enhanced camera capability, such as optional front and rear-facing camera systems capturing high-definition 1080p recordings. This visual clarity benefits driver awareness significantly, assisting maneuvering in crowded city spaces or documenting unforeseen incidents for practical safety reassurance.
Moreover, the head unit integrates appealing entertainment experiences that transform journeys into enjoyable events. By directly connecting compatible gaming controllers via USB ports, passengers can partake interactively in multiplayer gaming sessions displayed on the infotainment's large touchscreen, effectively converting extended drives or rest stops into engaging family-friendly bonding opportunities.
Modern infotainment systems prioritize intuitive interaction, exemplified with smart voice-control features. By leveraging assistants such as Siri or Google Assistant through Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, vocal commands enable drivers to safely manage not only navigation and media but also extend control into smart-home environments. Picture pulling into your driveway and instructing: "Hey Siri, turn on living-room lights." Such connecting technology underscores efficiencies that simplify daily routines and enrich overall driving satisfaction and convenience.
Advantages & Enhanced Driving Enjoyment of the Toyota GT86:
The 2012-2016 Toyota GT86 authentically embodies genuine sports-car purity—balanced handling quality, communicative driver engagement, and the understatedly purposeful design that thrills analog motoring aficionados. Modern infotainment replacements—such as Brummstadt’s adaptable & connectivity-rich infotainment units—address known technological shortcomings, elevating enjoyment markedly during daily commutes and rejuvenating weekend drives. Premium-quality integration facilitates practical functions like seamless navigation aids, sophisticated hands-free connectivity, high-definition visual safety enhancements, passenger entertainment variety, and intelligent voice-control convenience—a comprehensive multimedia enrichment extensively complementing the GT86's precisely engineered driving excellence.
Ultimately, the Toyota GT86 faithfully represents principles long appreciated by its enthusiasts. Its deployment of rear-driven agility, intuitive handling characteristics, lightweight construction, and appealingly minimalistic interior charm make it an enduring pleasure behind the wheel. Meanwhile, thoughtfully administered infotainment and connectivity upgrades effectively deliver a refreshed, comfortable, and modernized user experience, increasing pride of ownership and enriching everyday driving relevance.
