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 HiAce is one of Toyota's most recognized and celebrated models worldwide, gaining deep admiration across many regions for its dependability, versatility, and lasting practicality. A prominent fixture in commercial and passenger transportation since its debut, this iconic van has evolved thoughtfully through multiple generations, continually meeting changing global needs and consumer preferences.
Historical Context and Evolution of Toyota HiAce:
First Generation (H10; 1967–1977):
Debuting in 1967, the original HiAce quickly established a solid foundation as a dependable, affordable, and versatile cargo transport and passenger vehicle across Japan and gradually into other global markets. Its straightforward practicality—spacious interior, efficient engines, and simple maintenance—made it instantly popular, creating a strong following for commercial operators and independent family buyers alike.
Second Generation (H20, H30, H40; 1977-1982):
Expanding its impact in the late '70s, the second generation arrived with larger body sizes, improved engines, and improved comfort. This added flexibility enabled new uses—from delivery vans to private family transport—cementing the HiAce's adaptable, multi-purpose image globally.
Third Generation (H50, H60, H70; 1982-1989):
During the 1980s, Toyota refined the HiAce further, launching the third generation with broader options such as additional seating variations and a refined driving experience. Greater cabin comfort, increased engine performance, and upgraded safety features significantly expanded its appeal. This model became a trusted work companion across Asia, as well as Australia and parts of Europe, underscoring Toyota’s commitment to consistency and reliability.
Fourth Generation (H100; 1989-2004):
By the 1990s, the HiAce H100 model became globally synonymous with dependability and durability. It quickly dominated various regional markets, popular within urban transportation sectors, tourism industries, and commercial trades due to its robust build and generous cargo capacity. Highly regarded for ease of service and longevity, the model remains particularly beloved among enthusiasts and commercial operators even decades after its release.
Fifth Generation (H200; 2004–2019):
Launched in 2004, the fifth generation—known widely as the H200 series—brought substantial innovations to the HiAce lineup. Characterized by its distinctive aerodynamic shape and larger dimensions compared to previous generations, this iteration catered specifically to increased global demand for spaciousness, advanced safety, and improved ergonomic comfort. With various configurations available—such as standard vans, high-roof set-ups, commuter buses, and even luxury tour arrangements (particularly prevalent in Asian markets)—this generation offered tailored versatility, striking an optimal balance between practicality and refinement.
Affordable, reliable diesel and petrol engine options further contributed to its prominence in countries like Australia, New Zealand, Southeast Asia (particularly the Philippines and Thailand), and emerging markets across the African continent. The H200 series notably gained popularity in Australia’s urban centers and suburban areas, serving as dependable transport vehicles for business operators, families, tradespeople, and community group outings. Its reputation for generous internal space, reliable drivetrain, and proven mechanical durability remained consistent throughout its lengthy production run, affirming the HiAce’s continued position as an essential part of urban and rural infrastructure in many regions worldwide.
Integrating Premium Infotainment: Brummstadt's Head Unit Enhancement:
Recognizing modern drivers’ preferences toward technology-infused convenience and safer communications, comprehensive infotainment solutions—such as those offered by specialists Brummstadt—provide a sophisticated addition for select Toyota HiAce models, particularly those spanning 2004–2019. An exceptionally suitable head unit replacement seamlessly introduces advanced connectivity, supporting both wired and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility effortlessly within the HiAce cabin.
The convenience of seamless smartphone connectivity substantially simplifies everyday tasks. Imagine, for instance, finishing an evening out at a local café or restaurant; before departure, the next destination is conveniently pre-set using smartphone navigation apps such as Google Maps or WAZE. Moments later, after entering the vehicle, the chosen route instantly appears clearly displayed on the built-in head unit’s sizable touchscreen, facilitating smooth and intuitive driving directions even during busy times or in unfamiliar areas.
Furthermore, Brummstadt’s compatible unit brings optional enhancements focused squarely on driver safety and practicality—such as integrating a 1080p HD camera system with front and rear recording capabilities, providing improved visibility and vehicle monitoring for greater peace of mind. Additional engaging entertainment functionality also benefits passengers. With built-in USB ports allowing controllers' connection, passengers can enjoy multiplayer gaming experiences on long journeys, transforming extended travel into more enjoyable and interactive experiences.
Moreover, voice-activated smart assistant integration further broadens safety and convenience. Compatible voice commands not only manage calls, music, and routes effortlessly, but also interface thoughtfully with household IoT devices—such as turning household exterior lighting on remotely before arrival home with a simple spoken request, illustrating how intelligent automotive technology increasingly complements modern living.
Overall Benefits and Driving Experience Advantages:
The Toyota HiAce H200 naturally balances commendable performance, highly practical cabin layout, reliable mechanicals, and thoughtfully executed design. Its widely acknowledged dependability, strong cargo-carrying capacities, and robust engine options remain highly valued assets among drivers. Specifically for urban delivery professionals, tourism guides, tradespeople, and medium-to-large families desiring space, convenience, and reliability, the HiAce H200 model series reliably meets expectations consistently throughout its lifespan.
Yet beyond its functional design attributes and enduring quality, vehicle ownership satisfaction is considerably bolstered by thoughtfully executed upgrades such as premium infotainment systems. The addition of technologies from specialists like Brummstadt incorporate carefully designed functionality to facilitate seamless transition between office, leisure, and home. Comfort increases through easy navigation app integration, high-definition camera safety expansions, engaging multimedia entertainment choices, and versatile voice assistant control capacities.
From humble origins of utilitarian simplicity to contemporary benchmarks of automotive reliability and intelligent technology adaptability, the Toyota HiAce—and particularly its H200 series production from 2004–2019—reflects Toyota’s dedication to practical excellence, flexibility, and purposeful evolution. As drivers seek further integration of modern technological conveniences, thoughtfully selected accessory and infotainment choices become natural progressions in nurturing driver satisfaction, passenger comfort, and overall pride in sustained vehicle ownership.
