Incredible product. Truly the work of a company that put good time and money into their products. As a former installer, I cannot recommend how much better this product is over any other brands options enough. They’re easy to program, give detailed instructions on how to install, and they’re very versatile. Even on older vehicles, my S2000 for example that use a more analog style of controls, it works perfectly.
I will say a good tip for anyone not using a supported radio (like power acoustik cp-71w), set the radio to any newer Kenwood while programming. It works for most radios.

Do not install anything from charlottesville

I first installed a carplay JVC radio in lynchburg, they told me they needed a additional receiver just to keep the steering wheel controls even though it said it would come with steering wheel support I paid an extra 180 just for that they told me they could install it closer to me in Charlottesville that was the worst decision I made because the one in Charlottesville only had one guy doing the installation he broke my dashboard and if I hadn't gotten the warranty I would of had to pay even more to fix the dashboard thankful I got the warranty and it was covered but still took a week to get the part shipped and for it to be fixed. I would not recommend having anything installed at the Charlottesville location because the people in Lynchburg got my dashboard off with no problem and didn’t break it. Other then that I like the product

Worked as advertised on a 2005 G35 and upgraded AA/carplay stereo unit that had option for steering controls. Steering contols allow for some customization options but read the manual for details becuase there are limits, but the options met my needs. Volume up, next track, and voice commands worked with existing steering controls.

Didn't come with harnesses to connect to my specific vehicle. I would have to splice the wires in order to use it. The online set up is not easy to use. I prefer the vehicle specific interface with harnesses. The connections don't match up with factory connectors.

This was used to connect my 2004 F150 controls to a new stereo I installed. It works great and adds nice functionality to the steering wheel controls that wasn't available before. It comes with everything needed to connect to the stereo system and has a USB cable for programing online. The whole process is quite easy and it works reliably. Definitely worth the cost to have the OEM controls work even better than they did when new.

Highly recommend! Works flawlessly. Easy to program using a laptop and usb cable. I purchased a different brand originally trying to save a few bucks and it was an absolute nightmare. I was never able to get it to work.

I purchased a new HU for my wife’s car. Her old unit didn’t have many frills, such as Bluetooth and Backup Camera, but oddly enough it did have steering wheel Controls for the OEM Radio. I wanted to make sure that she could use the volume controls, switch stations, etc. So, I purchased the Maestro SW. The only issues that I had is the programming of the device had to be done using certain MS Windows OS such as XP, Vista or Win7. Since I’m a Mac OS person, I had to hunt down a PC that would suit my needs. Check to make sure your OS is supported before you purchase this or it could become an issue. All said and done, my wife is happy with the new HU and keeping her Steering Wheel Radio Controls.

Easy Answer to Tough Problem

This was a very slick solution to a difficult problem. Very much impressed with the simplicity and clarity of the instructions. There was a curveball with the factory harness on my 2015 Scion xB - it had an intermediate patch cable between the car harness and the radio connector so I had to translate wire colors between teh Maestro instructions and the wires that went to the radio. Once this was done, the thing works perfectly and I like the flexiblity of being able to program each switch to several different functions before you flash the firmware. Very much worth the price. Also, thanks to the Best Buy / Geek Squad guy that helped me find it at the store.

Works well, does what to make the knobs more accessible right there on the steering wheel.
