    I purchased and installed the iDatalink Maestro RR for my 2012 Nissan 370Z. I had installed a Pioneer 1330-NEX on my car and wanted to gain access to my steering wheel controls again and some of the other features that were advertised. The install was definitely a learning experience and I wouldn’t recommend it if you haven’t done any radio installs or similar work before. Thankfully the provided wiring diagram was very accurate. Before buying this I would reccomend that you check out iDatalink’s website where you can select your vehicle make, model, trim and aftermarket radio. After all that info is selected their website will tell you exactly what features you will gain access to and the specific wiring diagram/instructions for your particular vehicle. For my car I was able to use the Performance Gauges feature where I can now keep track of my Air/Fuel ratio, intake air temperature, timing, coolant temperature, etc. I am now also able to check any OBD2 codes that I might have straight off of my radio. Keep in mind this all depends on what car and radio you have. To top things off I had a small issue after my install was done and I called iDatalink where I was pleased to learn that their customer service is on point. Over the phone they were really professional and able to resolve my issue with no problem.

    I was looking for something different to help maintain my factory steering wheel controls. After some research I found this unit. This was easy to program and install after reading the book on line. I even called Maestro for a question and they was very helpful. So far I have not had any issues with my factory controls working with my new radio.

    The maestro rr steering wheel interface works great. The harnesses seamlessly connect the aftermarket stereo to the steering wheel controls. The software to install on the module makes set up a breeze. I used this on a 2016 Highlander, there were a couple of buttons that were not programmable. Would like to see this improved with an update.

    In order to retain my 360 camera view in my truck, this is a must have item. The Maestro also allows you to retain all of the steering wheel controls. I'm gals I listened to the installer and bought the Maestro!

    Radio Replacement Interface for new Kenwood unit

    The Maestro Radio Replacement and Steering Wheel Interface was needed to connect the new Kenwood Radio I purchased at best buy to my backup camera, steering wheel controls, and vehicle system diagnostics in my 2014 Camry. This part along with the Maestro harness makes the installation easy. It is a necessary part unless you know how to make all the connections work without the harness, and I don't.

    Works well with my Ram 1500 truck and new Kenwood radio unit; was installed at Best Buy. Replaced the connections to the OEM Uconnect 8.4 radio. Keeps all steering wheel controls, interfaces with AC and heating systems as well as front and rear proximity bumper sensors.

    Do your research based on your vehicle and what radios you are considering to see which functions you can retain. The web based interface for flashing the unit is great. Certain buttons on your steering wheel can be reprogrammed to work new functions on your radio. Other handy functions are the built in code reader for any check engine lights that may come on.

    Kept Steering Wheel Controls and More

    I recently upgraded my OEM radio in my 2008 Honda and installed the Maestro RR to keep the steering wheel controls. The Maestro works great. And with the Pioneer radio, I am also to get statistics on my car too, including tire pressure! As a note, if you want to customize the controls, you need to flash the unit before it is installed. The process is relatively painless but must be done before installation.

    This is a must have if the stereo you purchase is compatible with Idata Maesteo. Gives you vehicle info on the screen of your stereo. Even check engine codes. You only have to buy a wire harness that is compatible for your vehicle. You need to use a laptop to program the steering wheel controls if you have them. Don't hesitate. This is totally worth it!!! Love the vehicle info on the screen of my Pioneer!!!

    Excellent product. Definitely look at getting the head unit that requires Maestro. When ordering, the cost to add the Maestro actually reduced the overall package cost - an excellent deal - and gave us so much more functionality! Can use steering wheel controls and get car information as well.
