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 Volvo C70 represents an iconic milestone for the Swedish marque, elegantly blending convertible style and coupe sophistication into a seamless form. Renowned for excelling in comfort, build quality, and understated attractiveness, the Volvo C70 (2004–2013) marks the evolution of a series thoughtfully designed with harmony between performance and refinement.
Volvo C70 Historical Overview:
First Generation (1997–2005):
In 1997, Volvo introduced the first-generation C70, crafted in partnership with Italian design firm Pininfarina. Initially available both as a coupe (introduced in 1997) and convertible (unveiled in 1998), this generation aimed to capture a more refined yet sporty image compared to Volvo’s traditional family-oriented models. With sleek aesthetics, luxurious interiors, and potent turbocharged engines under the hood, the original C70 established a reputation for refined comfort combined with driving enthusiasm. Notably popular, the first-generation C70 drew praise for robust build quality, supple ride comfort, reliability, and safety—hallmarks Volvo steadfastly maintained.
Second Generation (2006–2013):
In late 2005, Volvo revealed the second-generation C70 at the Paris Motor Show. Produced at the esteemed Uddevalla plant in Sweden alongside renowned coachbuilding experts Pininfarina, the new model introduced an innovative hardtop convertible design—effectively combining coupe refinement with open-air pleasure. Its three-piece retractable metal roof folded at the touch of a button, gracefully transforming the eye-catching coupe silhouette into a stylish convertible in less than 30 seconds.
The second-generation C70 consistently emphasized attributes synonymous with Volvo: safety, structural integrity, and exceptional occupant comfort. Volvo equipped the vehicle with an exhaustive range of advanced safety technologies, including a roll-over protection system, Side Impact Protection System (SIPS), rigid body architecture, reinforced A-pillars, stability control, and various airbags positioned precisely to safeguard occupants, notably acclaimed as one of the safest convertibles of its era.
Mechanically, the Volvo C70 showcased robust turbocharged five-cylinder powertrains, delivering harmonious power delivery balanced between potent acceleration and leisurely cruising serenity. Paired to a smooth automatic transmission (with a manual option in select regions), it ensured driving was sophisticated yet responsive—suitable both for enthusiastic highway driving and leisurely weekend getaways alike.
Interior appointments reaffirmed this model’s upscale positioning, offering elegant Scandinavian styling crafted meticulously with high-quality leather, intuitive ergonomics, premium materials, and audio excellence through sophisticated sound systems. Owners could select exceptional options like exclusive Scandinavian wood inserts or robust Dynaudio premium audio components, further distinguishing the C70 experience from typical convertibles or coupes.
Regional Variations and Names:
Globally consistent branding was typically maintained under the name C70 in markets such as North America, Europe, Australia, and Asia. Trim levels and engine options differed regionally, reflecting local tastes and varying regulatory requirements; however, the fundamental elegance and characteristics of the C70 remained consistently appreciated internationally.
Integrating Contemporary Technology—Brummstadt Head Units:
Time, however, inevitably highlights shifts in modern vehicle infotainment expectations, particularly considering the rapid progression of smartphone connectivity. Modern, easily integrated alternatives—such as those offered by Brummstadt—address precisely this need. Dedicated specifically for the Volvo C70 (2004–2013), these carefully designed head units gracefully fit the original dashboard layout, preserving the car’s refined and minimalist Scandinavian feel while introducing forward-looking functionality and connectivity.
Owners considering the Brummstadt upgrade benefit immediately from integrated wired and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, enabling the seamless use of popular smartphone-based applications, such as Google Maps, Apple Maps, Spotify, WAZE, and messaging apps. Imagine meeting family at a serene dinner, then seamlessly initiating navigation via smartphone to a friend's home afterward. Upon entering the C70, the pre-routed directions instantly appear on the high-resolution display screen through wireless CarPlay or Android Auto, allowing relaxed yet confident journeys, avoiding cumbersome manual entry while maintaining distraction-free driving.
Safety-conscious drivers will appreciate an available 1080p high-definition camera upgrade option—incorporating both front and rear camera setups, simultaneously providing clear parking assistance and valuable recorded evidence. Moreover, this modern head unit introduces family-friendly entertainment possibilities; passengers can utilize joysticks connected through integrated USB ports for multiplayer gaming during extended journeys, redefining travels into memorable social occasions.
Convenience amplifies further through integrated smart voice controls, granting access to voice assistant features, allowing effortless control over navigation destinations, music playback, phone calls, or even connected smart-home devices. Imagine comfortably driving toward home, safely using voice commands: "Hey Siri, turn on the porch lights," making arrival comfortable, welcoming, and seamless.
Performance and Lifestyle Advantage of Volvo C70 (2004-2013):
The Volvo C70 has consistently delivered sophisticated performance evoking timeless elegance, premium comfort, and thorough attention to occupant security. Its turbocharged engines balance capable acceleration, refinement, and reliability while the carefully engineered steering responsiveness and supple suspension translate the relaxed dynamics balanced with enjoyable road manners. Whether cruising city streets or embarking on cross-country drives, the C70’s versatile personality caters equally to leisure travel and everyday practicality.
Complementing thoughtful additions like the Brummstadt supportive infotainment and technology introduces newfound convenience, safety, entertainment, and functionality. Drivers navigating modern roads can confidently capitalize on contemporary navigation, media features, responsive voice commands, and connectivity solutions matched seamlessly into the C70 experience. This thoughtful integration safeguards the timeless elegance and character of the classic Volvo C70, meeting the evolving expectations of contemporary driving environments.
In essence, the Volvo C70 from 2004–2013 represents an enduring automotive choice, embodying Scandinavian design ethos, precision performance, meticulous craftsmanship, and resilient passenger safety—all augmented cohesively through tailored technological refinement, decisively contributing to owner satisfaction, driving pride, and lasting appreciation.
