Customer Ratings & Reviews

Sometimes my radio cuts out randomly. It's very account. Not sure if it's the parts fault or three best buy installation. When I brought it back to be fixed they said it would be $200/hr to figure out what's wrong.

It's been a struggle. Over a month to get installed

I bought this at the suggestion of the installer and once I got it home and started reading it was not the right product for my Evo X or my Pioneer Nex that was purchased with this unit. It's a great concept but do your homework and check for radio and car compatibility before purchasing.

After going thru 4 different types and having them installed 4 different times. I gave up. Not happy

Tried installing this in a Jeep Cherokee, was not compatible with my steering wheel controls

Easy installing was a lie! No instruction manual, had to find one online. Then the product did not work on my jeep although it's said to work on my make and year

I went to a store and was told last minute that this was needed for my truck

It never was delivered to my house and was unable to put in stereo because it didn’t come to my home.

Bought this because the auto install guy said I had to have it in order for my new aftermarket radio to work had nothing but problems every since

Waiting for Best Buy to start installs again, and have been waiting for two months

Not as easy as the sales person made it sound to hook up

Junk, was not installed correctly and messed up my car.

Not really know much about needed it for Bluetooth

I installed this in my 05 magnum with a kenwood dnx-751hd Anything that the car know, you know. Intake air temperature, exhaust gas temperature, tire pressure, anything! you can also read and clear check engine lights with the new radio. This kit also lets you program what your steering wheel control buttons do. You can make each button have two functions depending on if you press or hold it. I would recommend that you have this installed at best buy because is pretty complicated and it must be updated through a computer through a secure website.

I had Best Buy install this unit, verses the PAC unit, that was initially installed. My personal opinion, was that the sounds and the chimes, as well as the controls on my Silverado 1500 worked and sounded MUCH BETTER with Maestro, verses the PAC system. All controls, gauges, and EVERYTHING THATS SUPPOSE TO WORK, simply does, after it was installed by Geek Squad, in Chrystal Lakes store! "EXCELENT" job, goes to Neal! You can tell the man takes "PRIDE" in all his installs, and knows "EXACTLY" what needs to be done, to make the install look great! Thanks again Neal!

Couldn't be happier! Installed in a 2008 F350 with a Kenwood DNX-571HD. I was able to monitor my exhaust temp so I knew when the regeneration was taking place to clean the exhaust. The Maestro pulled info like intake, transmission, coolant, engine temps. Boost for the turbo, door status and check engine info are all available too. When your check engine light comes on it will tell you the code and you can clear it from your radio. If my truck had tire pressure sensors it would also show me the pressure in each tire. My truck had SiriusXM factory, the Maestro integrated the oem tuner into the Kenwood flawlessly. Highly recommend this product with a Kenwood.

I am posting this review in case someone with Factory XM is installing this product with the Maestro GM5+ and an Alpine ILX-207 radio. After flashing the RR to my specific truck and radio serial number, the install went well but not 100% success. I had a flashing red light on the RR and spoke to technical support and confirmed that my flash was good, and the issue was a poorly seated data cable. After re-seating the data cable, everything was working but my factory XM. To enable my factory XM I had to change the alpine setting from aftermarket to factory. I then requested Sirius XM to send a refresh signal to my factory tuner (https://care.siriusxm.com/retailrefresh_view.action#/refreshradio). After the refresh was sent, Factory XM appeared on the main menu and XM is working. (Note: XM is not included in the band choices, only FM1, FM2 and AM.)

Its a great product and does the job with an easy to set up process

This did what it was supposed to do. Make sure you check and see what features will work with your radio and your vehicle. So far the Pioneer NEX series will not show the gauges. Supposedly the new NEX 8200 series will support the gauge feature but they said that with the 8000 and 8100 series so we'll see I guess. I bought this along with the Alpine INE-W957HD and works just fine. Just double check your vehicle and if your radio will support it. If you have questions call the install bay and speak with an installer. I would stay away from the sales floor because they're just there to sling TVs and credit card financing offers.

The radio/steering wheel interface works well but it took quite a while to get used to it becasue it's NOT like the original one.
