Pro Tip: Which Model Should You Choose?
90% of customers choose the 4GB/64GB model - it's the perfect balance of performance and value. The entry 2GB/32GB is really just for basic use and may frustrate you with app refreshes. If you're a power user, consider the 8GB/128GB model for maximum performance.
📖 Installation Guide
This guide is specifically for Ford Ranger PX1 (2012-2015 models only).
BEFORE removing your factory radio, you MUST: Turn ignition ON, manually turn OFF the factory radio using the power button, wait 5 seconds, THEN remove the factory unit. If you don't follow this sequence, your top information display will continuously flash and search for radio stations.
What's Included in Your Brummstadt Kit
- Premium Android Head Unit (9" or 13.3" as ordered)
- Ford Ranger PX1-specific fascia kit & trim panels
- Color-matched trim piece for top display opening
- Plug-and-play wiring harness with CANBUS interface
- GPS antenna
- 4G antenna & SIM card holder (Premium models)
- USB extension cables
- FM/GPS antenna adapters
Tools You'll Need
Installation Steps
Turn ignition ON, manually turn OFF the factory radio using the power button, wait 5 seconds. This prevents the top display from endlessly searching for stations.
The PX1 has ONE large fascia panel covering the entire radio and climate control area. Carefully pop out the entire panel using trim tools.
Insert removal tools into the 4 holes (2 per side), push firmly until clips release, then pull radio straight out.
Connect the main harness to your factory connector. Connect the CANBUS cable from the top display location. All connections are keyed - they only fit one way.
Mount GPS antenna on dashboard, connect FM antenna adapter, place 4G antenna behind trim (Premium models).
Install the provided fascia kit, slide the head unit into position, secure with brackets and screws.
Navigate to CarSettings → Factory Settings (password: 1617). Select Ford → Ranger → PX (2012-2015). The CANBUS will automatically sync steering wheel controls.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about this head unit
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
