Was highly recommend by everyone but.....

It's nice when it works however at least once a month it needs reflashed/reset because it quits turning on. I'm about to run my own wires and get rid of it sure it's nice to have steering wheel controls but not worth the hassle of taking the dash apart once a month to reflash it although I made it easy by mounting mine on top of the deck with double sided tape but at the rate it needs reset I should just install a usb plug into the dash for it. Mine normally just quits between starts no signs of shorted wires are anything could be working when I shut my truck off and not work at all when I start it again. One time I didn't do anything to it for about a week as far as reset/flashing it and one day it randomly started working again for a few days. Save your money run your own wires or maybe Try a PAC it doesn't retain fade/balance or steering wheel controls without a 2nd adapter but might be better than this JUNK.Read full review...

Required to keep your factory features!

This is the perfect device to integrate into your car. For my 2015 Silverado 1500, this allows me to keep OnStar in perfect working order, just like the OEM radio on my Pioneer DMH-1500NEX. I added the SiriuxXM SXV300V1 to the setup and I have all of the factory radio options and MORE!

The Maestro RR allows me to program buttons on the steering wheel to what I want and setup gauges on the stereo display that are read through the vehicle OBD-II port.

While I'm not a fan that it cannot integrate with the factory sound output, it does some with a speaker that you can conceal under the dashboard for the turn signals and the vehicle chime. On the plus side of this, it also allows you to control the chime and turn signal volumes a greater range than the vehicle originally would. Even on the quietest setting, the factory chime was terribly loud. I can turn it even lower with the Maestro RR.Read full review...

Easy to install

Easy to install with the correct harness, also you keep all your factory settings. Ex my toyota camry in oem radio I could turn on and off day time running lights. I can do the same with my aftermarket radio. Installed pioneer 6200NEX on 13'Camry. Very happy with this product.Read full review...

iDatalink Maestro RR

This is one of the best products I ever bought. it does everything you need in the car without the worries of connecting wirings to the factory harness. I would recommend buying the necessary aftermarket harness for an easy installation on your car. Programing the module thru the internet was easy and once programmed, just bring it to the car and all set. Read full review...

Steering wheel control adapter with some extra features

I upgraded my 2014 Mazda 6 Touring with bluetooth head unit to a nice Pioneer NEX unit that is specifically compatible with the Maestro RR. The Maestro offers some additional functionality over other, less expensive SWC adapters such as dual function programmability for your buttons as well access to your vehicle's OBD2 information.

The "gauges" screens are what you're paying extra for. The Maestro RR is a universal unit and each car offers different information, so iDatalink won't tell you exactly what you can access. Regardless, if you are a bit of a gearhead and have slight engineering-nerd tendencies, then you will certainly appreciate the multitude of readouts available.

Do you "need" these gauges? Probably not, and if all you want is to retain your SWC, then there other, more affordable adapters. However, for a small premium, it is really cool being able to access in detail what your car is doing and that which your vehicle manufacturer thought wasn't worth being displayed.Read full review...

Perfect!

I installed an aftermarket radio in my truck and this item worked perfectly.
I was able to tie into the can bus system and have engine gauges displayed on my stereo screen and also able to control radio through steering wheel controls.
It came with the harness to tie into existing vehicle wiring harness.Read full review...

Modern day technology @ it’s finest here!

Definitely does what it’s supposed to do. Do your homework on we’re you want your buttons to go. I put the volume down button and if held down it was the MUTE button, so I ended up having to take back out and re-program. Just be very cautious on what buttons do what. All in all this Idatalink Maestro RR is top notch and very well built.Read full review...
