Note: The iDatalink Maestro HRN-RR-F01 installation harness requires the purchase of the iDatalink Maestro RR or RR2 (sold separately).

Flashing Module via Weblink Desktop: The iDatalink Maestro RR (ADS-MRR) will need to be loaded with correct firmware before installation. The included USB cable plugs into your computer and allows you to "flash" the Maestro RR or RR2 with the appropriate firmware to prepare it for installation. Simply download Weblink Desktop (for Windows and Mac) onto your computer to access the appropriate firmware. System requirements include -

  • Windows PC (10/8.1/8/7/Vista/XP/2000) or Mac OS X (Mojave [10.14], HighSierra [10.13], Sierra [10.12], El-Capitan [10.11])
  • Available USB port (version 2.0 or 3.0)
  • 4GB RAM or more
  • 200MB available space on HDD
  • Internet connection

Retained Features: The following factory features (if applicable) are retained when replacing your factory radio with a compatible iDatalink Serial Port head unit from Kenwood, JVC, Alpine, Sony, or Pioneer using the Maestro RR or RR2 Car Radio Replacement Interface module and HRN-RR-F01 installation harness.

  • Steering Wheel Controls
  • Sync with Media Player (USB/Aux) & Bluetooth (Phone/Music)
  • Analog or Digital Amp with Turn On, Fader, DSP & Gain

There are also center-channel, mono-sub, stereo auxiliary, left front channel, right front channel, left rear channel, and right rear channel RCA connectors which plug into the corresponding jacks on your aftermarket head unit. If your head unit doesn't have front and rear RCA outputs, the plugs can be cut off and hard wired to the speaker level outputs. In addition, you will need to hardwire the power/ground, illumination, and navigation leads of the HRN-RR-F01 harness to your aftermarket head unit's wiring harness.

Note: When using the HRN-RR-F01 installation harness, you will not use the additional harnesses that are included with the Maestro RR or RR2 Car Radio Replacement Interface module.

Hi I have a 2011 ford escape xlt limited and im wondering would this be the only harness I need to get to hook up a new carplay stero and keep my steering wheel controls? Also does this harness work with any head unit? Thanks!

This is not the only harness/interface you would need for this project. It is not necessarily compatible with all radios. Please reach out via online chat or phone at 1-800-324-9695 for help with selecting the correct items.

May I use the axxess steering controls with this? I currently have one that's why I ask. Thanks
paul  Apr 11, 2022

No the Axxess set of wiring harnesses are made to fit each other. The IDatalink sets fit each other as well. They do not cross over between the 2 name brands. But if you have the Axxess steering wheel controller you should purchase the Axxess wiring harness to fit your vehicle. Or vice versa if you have the iDatalink brand just buy the matching harness or controller.

Hi Aaron, thank you for your question! I have pulled up a 2015 Ford F-250 with CD Player, and I do show the Maestro harness as being an option for you. There will be an additional module that you will need to use along side of this harness. Please chat with an Advisor online, or by phone at 1-800-324-9695, they'll be able to pull up your vehicle, and insure that you get all of the installation gear you'll need.

Will this work to BYPASS the factory amps in an 09 Mustang with the shaker 500?Or is there a harness I can get to do so?
jerry  Jan 15, 2018
1 answer
A
Sorry. No. While this is a recommended harness option for the 2009 Mustang with Shaker 500, it requires the iDatalink Maestro ADS-MRR integration module which will retain the stock amplifier: http://www.crutchfield.com/p_794ADSMRR/item.html We do not have any pre-fabricated harnesses that will bypass the original factory amp.

To make it work with the steering wheel buttons on my F150 it was. It was easier to program than other modules as well.
karl  Apr 04, 2016

IF you have a vehicle with steering wheel controls and don't want to lose those functions it is highly recommended. I have it and it works great.
mark  Apr 01, 2016
A
You will need the module. By this kit alone I was not able to seperate a 12v source
robert  Apr 01, 2016
A
It simplifies installation for use of your steering wheel controls compared to other means, but is not necessary for use of a new head unit. Since you connect it via USB and download the software for your vehicle and just plug and play, too will not have to play the click to program game.
jonathan  Apr 01, 2016
Q
I my son got me the pioneer Avic 6100nex. I want to retain steering controls. Is this the right adapter or do I need a different one. If this is correct one do I have to get any additional items to retain swc?
