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 Yaris has always represented a perfect harmony of practicality, intelligent engineering and compact versatility. Through each generation, the compact Yaris—also known in some markets as the Toyota Vitz (Japan, earlier years globally) and Toyota Echo (North America and Australia, early 2000s)—has steadily incorporated advancements in performance, comfort and technology, becoming a recognized standard for affordable reliability and modern urban transport solutions across international markets.
Historical Evolution of the Toyota Yaris Model:
First Generation (XP10; 1999–2005):
Initially introduced in Japan as the Toyota Vitz and shortly thereafter in Europe as the Yaris, this small vehicle swiftly gained attention for thoughtfully balancing compact dimensions with surprising interior spaciousness. Designed for efficiency and maneuverability, the first-generation's accessible handling, fuel-efficient petrol engines, and practical interior design earned it widespread appreciation. In Australia and North America, the sedan variant carried the "Echo" badge, establishing a popular following among budget-conscious drivers who valued economical running costs without compromising quality.
Second Generation (XP90; 2005–2011):
Continuing the legacy, the second-generation Yaris (and Vitz) featured notable enhancements in space utilization, interior craftsmanship, and overall refinement. With options extended to offer both hatchback and sedan body styles, this generation introduced advanced safety enhancements, an updated platform for improved ride quality, and new powertrain selections, reinforcing the Yaris' market reputation as a compact yet highly versatile choice.
Third Generation (XP130; 2011–2019):
Debuting internationally around 2011, this era marked significant maturity for the Yaris series. Embracing more dynamic styling cues and noticeably improved cabin materials, this iteration placed a greater emphasis on driver comfort, safety, and convenience technologies. Notably, the 2016–2020 facelifted model stands out, recognized for modernized external aesthetics, heightened acoustic insulation, increased structural rigidity, advanced safety packages—including Pre-Collision Braking and Lane Departure Alerts—and a full multimedia system upgrade designed to meet emerging connectivity demands.
Fourth Generation (XP210; from late 2019 onward in select regions):
The latest generation represented a substantial leap in the Yaris’s evolution. Built atop Toyota's modular TNGA platform, it became lighter, more rigid, and dynamically engaging. Not only boosting its efficiency, safety benchmarks, and sporty behavior, but it also achieved notable acclaim, winning international awards for its innovative hybrid powertrains and quality interior refinement.
Enhancing Connectivity and Comfort with Toyota Yaris (2016–2020):
Despite the overall competence of the facelifted XP130 series, advancing technology paved the way for significant improvements in multimedia capability to satisfy modern preferences comfortably. Brummstadt, known for tailored, thoughtful automotive infotainment solutions, provides a premium head unit as a thoughtfully selected integration into the 2016–2020 Toyota Yaris interior, complementing the factory dashboard and central console. Featuring robust compatibility with modern mobile device technologies and applications, this system introduces Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, available via both wired and wireless connectivity methods, directly onto a vivid, responsive capacitive touchscreen designed to naturally align with existing interior aesthetics.
Seamlessly connecting the mobile phone interface, drivers benefit from familiar and trusted navigation apps such as Google Maps, Apple Maps, and WAZE automatically mirrored within the barrier-free user interface. Consider an evening scenario: family and friends are enjoying dinner out and decide spontaneously to visit another friend's residence afterward. The destination is effortlessly set within the smartphone navigation app, automatically transitioning seamlessly to the head unit's wider interface upon ignition. The stress and inconvenience—frequently encountered when manually typing addresses or attempting phone screen navigation—are replaced by a smooth transition supporting ease, safety, and confidence even in new or busy traffic conditions.
Additionally, this head unit offers optional additions that amplify safety and usability features further, with a provision for front and rear 1080p HD cameras integrated discretely into the Yaris's aesthetic. Recording capability ensures peace of mind, evidential clarity if required, and improved visibility dramatically in maneuvering or confined urban parking situations.
Brummstadt’s cleverly designed infotainment packages extend well beyond simple navigation assistance and multimedia improvement. Rear-seat passengers, especially children or younger occupants, find passenger entertainment during journeys greatly expanded. The system supports direct joystick or controller integration through available USB interfaces, transforming the central infotainment screen into an accessible gaming center ideal for long-distance exploration or occasional traffic delays.
Smart voice control opens significant convenience benefits through integration with voice assistants including Siri and Google Assistant. Handling calls, managing music selections, or navigation directions is exceedingly natural and distraction minimizing. Moreover, thoughtful integration even extends beyond driving scenarios—voice assistance allows management of networked home smart devices. An owner driving home at night can comfortably command home-connected accessories, such as lighting systems or garage doors, remotely with a simple voice prompt, ensuring arrival occurs into a safely prepared and hospitable environment without unnecessary distraction or inconvenience.
Distinct Advantages in Design, Performance, and Practicality:
Built upon reliability and intelligent design, Toyota Yaris models spanning 2016–2020 continue as an unquestionable representation of pragmatic, compact urban motoring. Its superior convenience merged with practicality has consistently delivered efficient performance, comfortable cabin ergonomics, and thoughtful safety innovation. The understated yet stylish exterior, responsive driving temperament, agile handling characteristics, and substantially robust build quality have strongly reinforced its broad following.
Upgrading existing infotainment systems with tailored accessories significantly augments overall driving satisfaction and ease of use. Feature-rich modern multimedia integration eliminates connectivity frustrations through smartphone compatibility and enhances not only communication convenience but also active safety and passenger interaction. The addition of entertainment versatility, safety camera visibility improvement, and seamlessly integrated smart voice control transforms daily commutes and extensive driving adventures, creating a vastly more engaging, safe, and enjoyable experience for both drivers and passengers.
In essence, the journey of the Toyota Yaris from practical practicality to a truly sophisticated lifestyle choice reflects a diligent evolutionary process. The 2016–2020 series — further enriched through considered infotainment integration — distinctly creates an experience reflecting a sound balance between modern technological conveniences, proven practicality, and assured emotional satisfaction, embodying the very essence of contemporary compact automotive aspirations.
