About the iDatalink Maestro RR Interface Module

Jon Paul
iDatalink's Maestro ADS-MRR module, along with the correct interface harness for your vehicle, allows you to install a new car stereo in select Ford/Lincoln/Mercury, GM, Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep/RAM, Toyota/Scion, Honda/Acura, Fiat, Subaru, Volkswagen/Audi, and other vehicles while retaining your factory steering wheel audio controls and the use of your factory amplifier, if present.
iDatalink's Maestro RR module

iDatalink's Maestro RR module

iDatalink's Maestro ADS-MRR module, along with the correct interface harness for your vehicle, allows you to install a new car stereo in select Ford/Lincoln/Mercury, GM, Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep/RAM, Toyota/Scion, Honda/Acura, Fiat, Subaru, Volkswagen/Audi, and other vehicles while retaining your factory steering wheel audio controls and the use of your factory amplifier, if present.

Here's how it works

First, you connect the Maestro to your computer using the included USB cable, visit www.idatalink.com/maestro, and follow the instructions. Once the unit has been "flashed," it's ready to go. Next, you'll either solder or crimp the vehicle-specific Maestro harness (sold separately) to your new receiver's wiring, just like you would with any Crutchfield wiring harness or wiring adapter.

Important Note: You will also need an additional Maestro vehicle-specific wiring harness that connects your new receiver to the ADS-MRR module and your vehicle's wiring. We will automatically add this harness to your Cart at a discounted price when you purchase a new car stereo and this ADS-MRR module.

Retain steering wheel audio controls, too

The ADS-MRR module also allows you to use your factory steering wheel audio controls with your new receiver. Using the intuitive web programming interface, each factory button can be assigned a specific radio function. Better yet, you can also assign a secondary "press and hold" radio function to each factory button, effectively doubling what can be controlled.

Keeping your factory features with an iDatalink-ready car stereo

If you're buying a compatible Kenwood, JVC, Pioneer, Sony, or Alpine receiver, you'll enjoy the outstanding performance of your receiver, plus seamless touchscreen control over most of the factory features in select vehicles.

Chrysler: You'll retain the use of the Uconnect® system (including voice command), along with your steering wheel audio controls and factory amp.

Fiat: You'll retain your vehicle's factory amp, USB port, and backup camera.

Ford: You'll keep your SYNC® system, including the factory Bluetooth, satellite radio (in select vehicles, see Details), steering wheel audio controls, and other great features.

GM: You'll retain the use of OnStar® system, along with your steering wheel audio controls, your factory amp, and safety warning chimes.

Honda: You'll retain your vehicle's steering wheel controls, Bluetooth, aux input, and factory amplifier.

Subaru: You'll retain your steering wheel controls, factory amp and sub, and Subaru backup camera.

Toyota: You'll retain your vehicle's A/V input, USB port, and backup camera.

Volkswagen: You'll retain your VW's Bluetooth, the factory digital amplifier and fader, plus VW's media device interface. Select Kenwood receivers allow you to display navigation info on your VW's multi-function screen.

See Details tab (above) for specific functions and installation notes.

Q
2013 ford explorer 8 in screen with no Sony logo..will I be able to upgrade factory radio and will I be able to use my heating and cooling and all functions from original touch screen..just about everything goes through the screen?
kenneth  Mar 14, 2024
1 answer
A
You can keep those features with Maestro Kenneth, but an iDatalink ready radio must be used. You'll have to modify your vehicle's sub-dash to install a new car stereo, and the module behind the radio must remain in the vehicle, so you'll have to relocate it to get the extra depth needed for a new car stereo. If you want a sweet radio that does Carplay and Android Auto wirelessly, check out the Alpine iLX-507 below! https://www.crutchfield.com/p_500ILX507/Alpine-iLX-507.html

1 answer
A
Greetings Jason. Thank you for your question. Depending on the vehicle, you may be able to use the RR, or RR2 Maestro. You will just not get all the features of the Maestro with the Alpine iLX W670 as it does not have the needed data port for all the Maestro features.

Q
My 2007 Mustang has no steering wheel controls for radio. Only cruise. Do I need this for installing the kenwood dpx505bt?
brandon  Mar 10, 2024
1 answer
A
Hey Brandon, so the iDatalink Maestro is one of the few possible harnesses that are available for that year Mustang. Based on the radio you are looking at getting, I would probably go with a different harness but there were audio options like the Shaker 500 or 1000 that changed up the possible harness we would advise for that. Feel free to reach out to our Product Advisors by calling 1-800-324-9695 and they can help recommend the best harness for your vehicle.

Q
Will this work with a 2021 Jeep Wrangler JL and an Atoto S8 MS? I'm looking to retain steering wheel controls.
lee  Jan 28, 2024
1 answer
A
We cannot confirm retained features with any radio brands we do not sell, Lee. When flashing the Maestro for your 2021 Jeep Wrangler there is an option to choose your radio brand as "other" which allows radios with steering wheel control button learning to retain some control after programming. You will need the Maestro and a vehicle specific harness and other accessories for complete install. For the most retained features and the easiest install using a major brand radio with an iDatalink Maestro 4-pin port is the best option.
bo  Jan 28, 2024 (Staff)
Q
In a 2016+ Toyota Tacoma, several vehicle setting options are only accessible via the Entune Head Unit, would this allow retained access to those settings on aftermarket stereos, specifically the Pioneer DMH-WT8600NEX?
carson  Dec 13, 2023
1 answer
A
Greetings Carson. Thank you for your question. The Pioneer is an Idatalink compatible stereo, and you would need one to be, along with the Idatalink Maestro RR, or RR2 plus their T harness to retain those personal setting on the Pioneer stereo. So you are looking at the right gear to get the job done.
hogan  Dec 13, 2023 (Staff)
Q
My Toyota 2012 RAV 4 Unlimited has a backup camera display on the rearview mirror. planning to purchasing a Kenwood Excelon DMX809S, would this product transfer the display of the backup camera to the aftermarket radio? Also does it retain the steering wheel controls?
vazquez  Dec 06, 2023
1 answer
A
The iDataling Maestro would not transfer display of the factory backup camera. Unfortunately, we do not have a product to help with that aspect of the installation. The steering wheel controls will be retained.
zachary  Dec 06, 2023 (Staff)
Q
On my 2013 Honda Accord EX-L, when it says maestro retains the OEM backup camera and lane watch camera, will that camera continue to be displayed on the upper screen or will it displayed on the new radio lower on the dash? Do not see a question specifically addressing this.
david  Oct 22, 2023
1 answer
A
The iDatalink Maestro will display the backup and lane watch cameras via the new radio display. The new radio must have a secondary camera input. For help with selecting the correct items, please reach out to our advisors via online chat or phone at 1-80-324-9695.

Q
I have the Maestro rr kit but during the "flash" process the car stereo I have is not listed. I have the Hieha, do you support?
john  Sep 05, 2023
1 answer
A
We do not support that brand radio sadly John, but I can help. When you are going through the flashing process in the Weblink Desktop application, you get to the selection of the radio (after you enter the specific "trim" on your vehicle). Select "all radios" and under the brand select "other". You can still flash the Maestro, and your steering wheel controls may work if your radio has an analog steering wheel control input, though they are not guaranteed. Going with a Maestro install interface is always a good move, as you may upgrade in the future to a major branded radio with an iDatalink Maestro 4-pin data port to gain more features. I hope this helps!

Q
Will this work with an Atoto S8 radio going into a 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee with factory amp and is there a factory back up camera adapter available? Says it retains uconnect, if OEM radio is removed how does that retain uconect?
dan  Aug 10, 2023
1 answer
A
The Maestro RR does not offer firmware support for Atoto radios. Additionally, although the Maestro RR can retain uConnect in some vehicles, it cannot in the 2013 Grand Cherokee. For help with selecting the appropriate radio and installation parts for your project, please reach out to our advisors via online chat or phone at 1-800-324-9695.

Q
I have a 2014 Nissan Rogue SL with the 360 camera when put in reverse. Will it keep the same view or will it only give me the back up camera?. Im planning to get the Sony axv-ax6000 system. Thanks.
dabre  Aug 03, 2023
1 answer
A
Great question, Dariel. With the 2014 Nissan Rogue Select when using the Sony XAV-AX6000 paired with an iDatalink Maestro RR or RR2 interface package the 360 camera is retained. You will also retain the park assist chimes if equipped. Factory Bluetooth, Aux input, and USB is not retained with a Maestro package. Consider adding the Accele USBRCS 4-foot extension if you would like a new mounted location to plug in for charging! https://www.crutchfield.com/p_074USBC2C/Accele-USBRCS.html

Q
I'm replacing the stock unit on my 2017 Jeep Renegade with an aftermarket head unit. I bought the RR as it says it's "universal" but my offbrand unit isn't available to be flashed to. Can I still use it for the SWC or am I out of luck?
andrew  Jul 30, 2023

Please reach out to our advisors via online chat or phone at 1-800-324-9695. We may be able to review information to confirm compatibility, though we may not be able to confirm for radios that we do not carry.

Greetings Jon, and thank you for your question. The maestro RR is for replacing the factory radio with an Idatalink compatible aftermarket stereo. Technically we will not offer a device that would eliminate any vehicle warning chimes, but there are interface/DSP to add amps to factory radios that have a volume adjustment setting for those chimes. We have something from Metra that can do this, but you would want to check on your trucks RPO code. https://www.crutchfield.com/p_120XGL9/Axxess-AXDSPX-GL9.html This package only works in vehicles with RPO codes IO3, IO5, IO6 or IP1. The RPO codes can be found printed on a sticker in the glove box, on the door jamb, or in the spare tire compartment.

I have a 2007 Tahoe with Bose, RES, no navigation. I am looking at maestro rr and alpine ilx-407. Will this use the oem sirius receiver or do I need sxv300? Also do I need to hook aux from maesto to hu if I have the speaker included in hrn-rr-gm5

I would be happy to help, Henry. You will need the SiruisXM SXV300V1 tuner in the link below with your iLX-407 for XM features in the Alpine radio. We also provide install instructions with every radio order via the Mastersheet, and you will get detailed instructions after flashing your Maestro for install too! With any issues, we also provide lifetime Technical Support as well free with every order. https://www.crutchfield.com/p_220SXV300/SiriusXM-SXV300V1-Tuner.html

A
There are no iDatalink Maestro install packages available for your 2005 Infinity G35 sadly, Aaron. Your Pioneer 5700nex does have an iDatalink Maestro 4-pin port for communication, so if you do install the radio in other vehicles down the road you can potentially upgrade to a Maestro RR or RR2 and install harness to take advantage of the extra features. I hope this helped!

tracie  Jul 29, 2022

Greetings Tracie, and thank you for your question. The Idata Maestro RR module would be one part needed to install an aftermarket stereo into the 2013 Malibu. You also need a harness that matches the factory radio plug with this Maestro interface. On a side note, there are different wire interfaces for the 2013. It depends if you have a color screen, or monochrome. It depends on if the vehicle came with the Pioneer audio system or not. I would recommend calling one of our advisors at 800-324-9695 so we can get you the right adapters this time.

That's a great question, Mike. Depending on your specific ride you may need to connect to your OBD2 port, but some of the integration adapters can get the data, leaving that port free. This is good info to know in case you are running a tuner or something already plugged into that diagnostic port! To make sure on your specific setup we need the specific detals, we can take a close look at the exact year/make/and model of your ride.

2 answers
A
You definitely need if you had steering wheel controls and you wanted to be able to use them. Even then, it's optional. You don't have to have it even if you have the controls - they just wouldn't work. That being said, it also brings other data from the OBD to the head unit for display. In my 2014 Focus, it shows tire pressure, battery voltage, fuel pressure, oil pressure, accelerator angle, coolant temperature, exhaust temperature, and many other bits of data generally not available in the factory instruments. I find that to be worth the price of admission. In my 1995 F350, I didn't install it. Just needed the harness.

The navigation will work because it's in the stereo and translated through the maestro interface. The "without navigation" selection is to identify the specific stereo that you are replacing so that can verify which interface you'll need to gain full function of the new head unit.

Will this work for a 2006 VW Jetta that came with a basic radio and no factory amp? I have heard that VW uses a CANBUS system and requires a wire to be run to the fuse box for keyed power unless a smart wiring harness is used. Would this harness do the job?

Hi Alex, please chat with an Advisor online or by phone at 1-800-324-9695. We will need to gather some additional information to check vehicle compatibility, as well as ensure that the stereo you will be installing is iDataLink Maestro compatible.

Crutchfield will prompt you on everything that is required to install your radio. I needed both products in order to have my SYNC and steering wheel controls to work in my car. Therefore, I believe it depends on what features you want to work in your car.

Q
I have a 2011 f350 lariat, it came with the headunit that contains sync, nav, back up, and premium sound (amp, tweeters and sub). I recently tried to install a new headunit but didn't work. I've installed multiple headunit before and even one on a base model 2011 f250 with no issues. I have a harness but it doesn't have anything for the run/acc wire. Also when testing I gave it power but the radio doesn't have sound. I'm guessing I either A) have to integrate the stock sound package or B) bypass the amp somehow. I also have an axxess box to maintain steering control already and it works perfectly with my radio. The only thing I don't really care to keep is sync. So If someone could help me figure out what harnesses I need for 1. Run/acc wire 2. Sound through stock premium sound package 3. Retain reverse camera I'm hoping this is the correct device for the job?

Get with Crutchfield advisor and buy a Maestro unit. It worked well on my 2014 F150 and retains Sync and Steering wheel functions, so no reason to believe it wouldn't work with your factory Ford setup.
gary  Sep 03, 2019
A
The "Maestro " should do it for ya, and with the Maestro you won't need that "Axxcess" box so just return it! The Maestro lets you program it to you liking also! It's worth the $90 or whatever it was I paid for it. I installed it with a Pioneer head unit, and a parking bypass switch and it works flawlessly.... the ONLY negative I have for the Maestro is when trying to program it, you MUST do it (if I'm remembering correctly) through IE..... you CANNOT update or program through Chrome!!!!!!!! Otherwise, buy it.

alfredo  Mar 20, 2019

A
In short, No. As i recall you can just fill in the registration page with whatever to get the account. I think the non-certified claim meant to be a deterrent as well as to help mitigate potential law suits. It is not overly complicated to program or install. But I would caution you to read all the instructions carefully before and during installation. I also recommend testing it once its all connected and BEFORE you close up the dash! It's never fun to think you're done just to have to open the dash again....

This module will work in your vehicle and you will be able to see performance gauges on the screen of that Pioneer once you have programmed it! However, this alone does not fit or plug into the vehicle. You need a vehicle specific harness pack to make that happen.

Q
can I use this to get data like mpg from a ford econoline van (that is not equipped with digital info center) and display on a compatible radio?
shawn  Jan 09, 2019
1 answer
A
It will probably depend on two things. 1.) you would have to use a Maestro interface to pull out the Info from the vans computer. 2 ) bigger question would be how New is the van? I installed this in my 2016 ford truck which had a basic radio and display, the radio with the Maestro now shows all gauge data including tire pressures! It's amazing the amount of data the Kenwood can display 3). Another way to get this data would be through the Garmon Nav. I believe the MPG is also reported through there if you use the Eco Route function and enter data when filling the tank.

This module was mainly for me to retain my steering wheel controls. I don't think it has anything to do with outputting video. I think as long as the new unit has additional video output you should be okay. If, your Dodge has controls on your steering wheel to control your radio you will definitely need this as long as it's the one crutchfield recommends. Hope that helps!.

1 answer
A
The information we have access to on the programming options of this interface doesn't specify the type of sound that is produced when the turn signal alert occurs.

Do I need the Maestro harness for an 07 ram sport with no steering controls and an aftermarket amp?
caleb  May 26, 2018
1 answer
A
The optional vehicle specific harness helps you complete the install with splicing the least amount of wires. Technically, this interface can be installed without that optional harness, but it is then a complete cut/splice installation to the stock wiring and the level of difficulty increases exponentially. Because of this, we recommend getting the optional harness for your Ram vehicle. We have advisors that you can call on 1-800-324-9695 for help getting the correct one!

tony  May 13, 2018
1 answer
A
I used this kit to integrate factory steering wheel controls with my Pioneer head unit. That is all it is used for to my knowledge. If your stereo picks up vehicle information such as door open, tire pressure, and malfunction indicator lights, that is achieved through connecting the radio to the OBD2 connector. I used the maestro to assign volume, next track, and phone call buttons on the steering wheel to functions on the radio.
