just a simple 128 steps

[@macbook802]

Yes I'm about to go through all of this for the first time and I have never used my steering wheel controls. I'll see you all on the other side

[@Xposthmous]

Thank you for the video! I have a 2015 F150 4.3 inch screen. Do I need the Metra 40 EU10? What exactly is to gain by using it? Thank you again!

[@crutchfield]

We do show the 12040EU10 is compatible with your truck. You'll use this antenna adapter to integrate an aftermarket radio with your factory radio antenna.

[@sissonville9]

Unrelated question but most aftermarket radios only have 6 rca ports i was wondering if i could use rca splitters to combine speakers into one rca jack in order to be able to plug up my speakers in the proper labeled rca locations on the back of a new radio

[@crutchfield]

RCA Y adapters can be used, but they also split the strength of the preamp outputs which can reduce their quality level as compared to the other ports. You should also use a line driver with the Y adapter: www.crutchfield.com/I-rYALc227/g_331950/Line-Drivers.html

I just picked up the Kenwood DMX809S and have the RR, HRFO1, and antenna adapter on its way. What would I have to splice, and how do I find it on my 2016 F250 XL. Also, I have a rear-view camera on my 38-foot toy hauler I use a rear-view camera, constant as in a rear-view mirror. How would I go about connecting it up so it's always viewable while towing?

[@crutchfield]

Hi Lee, great radio choice! We will be emailing you installation instructions and you can call our Tech Support for any vehicle specific wiring assistance you may need as well. Their direct number is on your invoice. Video from the rear-view camera can be set to display when manually switched to the rear-view camera input, or to display the rear-view camera video automatically when the vehicle is shifted into Reverse gear using the DMX809S. Enjoy!

Hey. I was looking to get this Maestro for my 2014 nissan titan sl crew cab with Rockford Fosgate system. Can Crutchfield assemble the radio/wheel harnesses prior to shipping so I'm just plug and play and if so, are there any wires I'd need to splice/soldier?

[@crutchfield]

We can check just how close to plug-and-play we can get you when using the iDatalink ADS-MRR module to install a radio. Which radio are you going to install? Would you be ordering it and the installation gear together?

[@sylvainbel]

Hello to you and thank you for your video it is very informative, but I have a technical question, My vehicle is a Nissan rogue 2017 without the Boss system, I bought the pioneer DMH-WC5700NEX radio as well as Meastro RR2 with all the additional wire kit, after having done everything I cannot see my gauges and a message appears the ignition is off I search I search but I cannot find the problem, thank you in advance for your help.

[@crutchfield]

Hi Sylvain, nice radio choice! You may want to start by re-programming the Maestro to verify it matches your new radio model and vehicle and preferences. From there, be sure to check the wiring connections and radio settings. If you got the radio here, you can call our Tech Support as well. Their direct number is on your invoice.

[@junioramon2013]

I have 08 ram 1500 with infinity system. I have a pioneer hu with idatalink rr and cch2 connected to it. But I'm planning to replace the factory amp and speakers with and aftermarket ones. Can I be able to bypass factory amp to speakers or do I have to run new speaker wires to the speakers.

[@crutchfield]

It is always best to run new speaker wire. However, it is possible to reuse the stock speaker wire with amps that output up to 75 watts RMS per channel. We don't have a harness that can plug into the stock wiring at the amp and expect wire cutting will be required to complete the install.

[@wolfsmane]

Hello! I have a quick question. Can I flash the module while being connected to a car? If so, would it be a good idea to install a USB cable which is made accessible after the installation so that we can make changes later without opening it up? Thanks!

[@crutchfield]

You can do that. Keep in mind though, when plugging that USB into your computer, the constant power to the MRR must be off.

Does the f150 wiring harness work on all aftermarket radios or those just specific to mastros compatible radios

[@crutchfield]

Hi Dylan, thanks for reaching out. The iDatalink wiring harness would be vehicle specific and not radio specific so you'd need to connect from the new radio's harness to it. Do you have a specific radio in mind? What year and trim is your truck?

[@damonclemons9547]

Quick question will a maestro that has never had firmware flashed on to it cause the JVC radio to not turn on at all ?

I admire your hard work in putting these videos together. Mekebe M6 Pro Plus 8 + 128 for a Hyundai Sonata or YF 2013. The 9.5 Host Device DOESN'T have the proper LOOM and CANBUS to my car, that I can tell. I have MYFIRSTECH IDATALUNK MAESTRO THR-HK5 with the COMPUSTAR DC3 MODULE and an X1 MAX DRONE. They're supposed to talk to the onboard computer or the Obd2, which allows the steering wheel and AC controllers, and everything else in the car to unlock the doors roll down and up windows, and all kinds of other stuff. In theory, do you think this can bypass the standard loom and CANBUS? The big name brands like Kenwood Pioneer Sony use these. The big question would an image show up on this 2k head unit? Unrelated question can Dash cameras display a image on an Android screen? Or will only ADAS DVR cameras display an image on the android screen?

[@crutchfield]

Sometimes, the iDatalink MRR modules can be used in vehicles as part of a universal radio installation which does allow it to work with more radios and provide wires like the reverse gear trigger, etc.. But iDatlink does not list your radio or its manufacturer as a company they work with which means their interfaces may not be able to "speak" the new radio's language. This means iDatalink may not be able to get steering wheel radio controls working with that radio. Also, we need to check if the MRR modules can be used as part of a universal radio installation in the vehicle. Are you saying that you are working on a 2013 Hyundai Sonata? If you are working on a Sonata, which sub-model is yours?

[@mikaelkwamecooper]

@@crutchfield what does a MRR do ? I have a Hyundai sonata 2013 limited edition 2.4 l

[@crutchfield]

That's the module that gets programmed for the vehicle its being installed into and the new radio. There are two versions of them and since your 2013 Sonata Limited system that has an amp, the ADS-MRR2 module must be used as it is the only one advanced enough to work with that stock amp. It can retain other things like the stock backup camera and provide all the extra wires that a touchscreen radio could need (reverse gear wire, parking brake wire, and vehicle speed sensor output). It can also provide an illumination output for radios that use this for an automatic dimmer ability. If its being installed with a new radio that can learn steering wheel radio control commands, it can also adapt the buttons to operate the new radio.

[@j.o.a.t9718]

Hi Darren. I just installed the Maestro RR with a Pioneer compatible head unit into my 2016 F150. Upgrading from the 4" sync screen to a 7". Pretty much everything went well. I may have to go back and reflash the unit. Unless you are aware of something else I may have forgotten, I may have inputted the wrong info regarding the climate controls, because they do not work. I'll be looking at all connections today before reflashing. My main reason I am commenting is that I am slightly colour blind. Yeah, so making some the wire connections was a bit of a task. I figured them out but I had to have a family member confirm the connections. Can I suggest labeling the wires with a number, as well as the same number shown on the information sheet? I can't be the only one who has struggled with this. Obviously the radio manufacturer would have to do the same thing. Just an update on the climate controls. So I went and disassembled the climate controls looking to see what I had done wrong. Reviewed the instructions again while taking disconnecting the ribbons. So the instructions say to have the black side up when installing. This is incorrect. When they are installed black side up, they are not making contact. So I reran the ribbons, starting with the first connection as having the black side down. And then the final connection would follow suit. And the climate controls now work. So the instructions need to be rewritten so others don't think they have done something wrong as well. But the upgrade works great.

[@crutchfield]

Sounds like you have a right plan in taking the time to reprogram the interface module for your current installation. We can pass along your suggestion on the wire labels too. Thank you! Hope things go smoothly from here and you're fully enjoying your new radio soon.

Hi Alex! To retain some factory features with an after-market receiver on certain vehicles, the iDatalink port will be required.
