Interesting piece of hardware

This is my first experience installing and using the iDatalink module. The bluetooth programing didn't work for me. But I was able to program with my laptop. The instructions were okay. seems they could be a little better. The last thing I need is to short out something on my truck. I wasn't sure if I needed the microphone with my radio installation or if the idatalink would automatically connect. maybe a bit more research on my part next time.

Great interface, plug and play with my JVC 785BW, its probably more than needed for my Wrangler since most of the features are not available on the Wrangler. Bottom line is, its very easy, stable, and although its expensive, having the plug and play is well worth it.

Added Complexity and Not Stable

Received first MRR2 with my order and it wouldn't power on the red wire to start radio. Spent an hour on the phone with iDatalink support and attempted resetting the MRR2 3 times while on the phone with them. Crutchfield was quick to replace the unit. The new unit didn't boot up the radio, but after resetting the MRR2, it booted the radio. I have had it installed for a little over a week and it has interrupted constant power at least twice, so the radio keeps looking equalizer settings and radio stations that have been programmed. The 2019 Toyota Sienna doesn't gain a lot of benefit from using this unit. I was hoping to use this to link in my Escort 360c radar detector, but with the stability issues of the MRR2 it isn't worth keeping. My neighbor has had an MRR2 installed in his SUV for about a year and his unit stopped working until he could reset the box.

Interfacing made easy

This unit works great! I paired it with the correct wiring harness and the instructions from Crutchfield making the installation in my 2019 Subaru ascent go flawless. All of the steering wheel controls work engine gauges work park assist works. There are utilities for updating the module that work with windows, and with Mac I use the Mac utility with no issues and was able to flash it for my car with no issues. There is plenty of room in the dash of the Subaru for it to just slide in behind the aftermarket radio.

Have a 2017 tundra that I installer a Kenwood dmx1037s with a maestro rr2 idatalink controller. I noticed immediately that my oem backup camera had squiggly lines on it whether the car was on or off. If I ran a DVD player into the same composite camera input the video was fine so I realized it was likely the 6.5 volts that the maestro rr2 putting out dirty DC voltage. I had wire a choke/cap filter to the power output of the maestro and through to the backup camera. Problem solved. If you are seeing this problem and have a maestro rr2 it's likely the same issue which this will fix. It is a pac css12

Worked well. Had to reset the Bluetooth up for my phone as i had moved it to the radio. After struggling to figure it out for a day, found out all i had to do is hit the steering wheel SYNC button and say phone. It asked do you want to set up, etc. I liked it's read me the text feature without pluging in for the android auto.

These Maestros are awesome when you are using a newer head unit with the 4-pin iDatalink connection. I can't imagine doing a modern car or truck without the RR or RR2 and the proper harness kit. Not only do you keep the factory stuff downstream with no drama, you also get a deep dive into your vehicle thanks to the OBD2 connection.

Crutchfield recommended this product to integrate my aftermarket stereo build with my 2021 Subaru Crosstrek Starlink system. Using this system I was able to add an aftermarket headunit, amplifier, and speakers (6x9,6.5, 3.5) and keep all of my factory systems, including the Starlink functioning properly. It is a little pricey, however, it does what it is suppossed to do in a fairly complicated system. Highly recommend.

Maestro flashing problems

Crutchfield support is great, the maestro unit not so much in my particular situation. I installed 3 Jensen cr 70v stereos in our other vehicles- a 2012 Chevy, a 2014 Ford Fusion and a 2004 expedition. I like the Jensen unit for the CarPlay feature and want to keep all cars in our family the same to enhance safety and minimize learning new Menus. All units had different setups to retain as much swc functionality, and with various degrees of sweat and Crutchfield support I was able to make all 3 work. Now to the maestro with the same Jensen cr70 radio in a 2018 Ford F-150. Total hassle. Blew a maestro unit during multiple plugging and unplugging to troubleshoot. Finally was able to get volume up and down and nothing else by missprogramming the maestro for a pioneer unit instead of a Jensen cr 70v to get that limited functionality. Bottom line tons of cash and lots of hours to have a head unit that only does volume from the steering wheel- not a step forward, but after sinking so much money and time I can't bear to put old stereo back in and lose face. I never should have done this project despite having successfully done 3 of the same radios in our other cars, all with great Crutchfield support and quick wiring harness. Maybe you will have better luck with a different head unit. Maestro is blaming Jensen for not updating their codes, but the fact that I got jensens to work in three different vehicles including two other fords makes me suspect the

Functionally this is awesome. But the documentation is lacking. None of the ports are labelled and I couldn't find anything in the manual. While most of the cables fit into only one port, there are a couple of exceptions. And to make matters worse, the instructions show a picture of the original version, not the RR2. I had to make a call to Crutchfield customer support to get an answer.

iDatalink Maestro RR2 Interface Module

It did not work as I expected or was told by an advisor. I could not retain my factory Sync USB inputs. That was a disappointment since I use both inputs...one for my iPhone and the other for a thumb drive. My Sync Bluetooth never worked correctly. If I made a call, the factory microphone would work but no sound would come out of the speakers. If a received a call, the microphone would not work but I could hear the caller over the speakers. After loosing the pairing of my phone and Sync, I could not re-pair them since the factory upper display would not show the four digit Sync number to enter into my phone. Also, my steering wheel buttons did not function properly. The volume and seek worked just fine but if I pressed the Sync voice button, the radio would just go to Sync Line In. I never could get the Sync lady's voice to come on. It's an awful lot of money for something that basically only gives me redundant gauges and tells me tire pressure. Thanks, but Ford already gave me those gauges right in front of my face and I know how to check my tire pressure with an actual gauge. I've decided to nix the steering wheel controls for now and opted for the basic Crux wiring adapter. I'll be sending all the idatalink stuff back.

Used this for a Kenwood 907S into an '18 Subaru Crosstrek. Although while getting ready to flash it for the car, it doesn't give the exact steering wheel as what's actually in the car. That steering wheel is shown for the Impreza. None the less, once it was flashed, everything played first time except handsfree hangup and answer controls. Not a deal breaker, but something to be aware of. Interfacing it to the car harness was awesome using the appropriate cable from Maestro.

This is an excellent multi-function interface for adapting an aftermarket head unit to your vehicle's wiring. Programming was straightforward using the included USB cable. The RR2 comes with a LOT of cables, so the wiring can be a little daunting at first. Overall great purchase. My only complaint is that it does not come with any type of mounting hardware for the unit itself. You are left to figure out how to stuff it behind your dash somewhere where it won't rattle. The inclusion of some adhesive pads or small zip ties would have been nice.

Works with 2013 F-250

I installed this in a 2013 F250 King Ranch with the Sony System. I know that the website tells you it will not work fit, but it does. I replaced the headunit with Kenwood DMX7006s and all the functions of the OEM work. I was concerned about controlling the heated and cooled seat, as they are only controlled through the radio on the OEM, but the Mastro was able to provide that functionality. The install instructions are pretty good, but fail to let you know that when you have to relocate one of the control units, that there is a 7mm screw on the back which is difficult to get to. I now have CarPlay and did not have to upgrade to Sync 3 for $1400 and have much better sound. Worth the money if you want better sound!
