Super Clean! Better than factory!
Rick from Fisherville, KY on 1/27/2020
2007 Toyota Tundra
Wow, what an awesome upgrade! Bought the entire kit for my son's 2011 Mustang and he couldn't be happier. The quick access buttons are great and actually have a second function which I wasn't aware of. Press the button once and you get a menu option, hold the button and you get another menu option. Great looking setup!
Pros: Tons of options. Looks like a factory install.
Cons: Install instructions-Not as detailed as I would have liked.

This kit is easy to install, super customizable, and is user friendly. The quality is unparalleled by others and the cost vs quality weighs heavily in the favor of the end user. As always, Crutchfield is always available to answer any questions you may have when order, I stalling, using, or troubleshooting!!
Pros: Customizable Easy-to-use User friendly High quality Perfect color match Easy to set up

Love it.
Bob from Plano, TX on 5/21/2019
2010 Ford Mustang
This is really cool. Made the install easy on the Stang. It did not like when I plugged in the blue/white antenna wire into the amp turn on blue/white wire and created a ground loop - which was easily found and fixed. But since I don't have a power antenna, I did not need the wire connected and the Shaker 500 amps turned on automatically. Retains the factory look of the dash display.
Pros: Made the idatalink install easy. Retains the factory look and functionality.
Cons: There are multiple installation instruction versions. Make sure you look at the one specific to your car. (i.e. 2010 Mustang GT w/o Nav + Shaker 500 radio).

Great adapter for aftermarket stereo!
Crutchfield customer from Redwood City, CA on 4/3/2019
2014 Ford Mustang
Great replacement for factory dash. The addition of the storage pocket is great but can make installing an aftermarket radio very snug. Removing the manual knobs and making them digital on the stereo is awesome. Temperature changes take some getting used to if you're used to manual knobs and sliders.
Pros: Great adapter. Love the storage pocket and extra USB's tucked in there. Nice clean finish that blends very well with original dash components.
Cons: Extra pocket can make the under side of the stereo compact especially if you're using a iDatalink module.

Waste of time and money
Crutchfield customer from Loxahatchee, FL on 3/27/2019
2014 Ford Mustang
Maestro Rr and MUS1 dash kit, turned out to be a complete disappointment. The buttons weree set up with flash and even printed the menu. Great, EXCEPT The buttons seem to have a mind of their own, never knowing what I will get when I press one . Steering wheel control seems to be my best hope but still sketchy. The buttons on the MUS1 dash kit are hopeless. Chinsy feel when you press one and the unit seems totally confused about my pushing one. These two products are not as intended after all the work and expense. I am totally disappointed. If I wasn't leaving on a trip tomorrow I would pack this pig back up and ship him back to Crutchfield.
Pros: everything works when I can top the buttons from acting on their own.
Cons: Buttons have a mind of their own, and feel cheap

I was originally intimidated by the wiring because as a mechanic i have a need to understand what each wire does but it is so easy because all wires are color coded to match Ford factory wiring.
Pros: plug and go
Cons: i had to remove panel later to install Sirius XM tuner and plastic panel clips broke.

Great Experience
John from Grapevine, TX on 1/5/2019
2013 Ford Mustang
I originally ordered the wrong installation kit for my Son's 2013 Mustang. His car has a Shaker and Sync and I missed that detail when ordering. Not to worry though because Crutchfield let me return the previous order, helped me get the right items, including the iDatalink Connect Kit, and even re-did the wiring adapter for me at no additional charge. Their service to wire the connectors is awesome, saves a lot of time, and helps me know I have the wiring right the first time. I received the re-order quickly and it fit like a glove. I had one problem caused by me plugging in an audio adapter to the back of the unit into the wrong place and called iDatalink for help. They knew immediately what I had done wrong and we had it working properly in less than 5 minutes! I'm very impressed with Crutchfeld and will use them for life. There simply isn't a better place for car audio equipment. They know the meaning of service and that's a rarity these days!
Pros: Took my return when I made a mistake in ordering. Got me the right items quickly and even rewired it at no extra charge. Everything worked fantastic and my Son is very happy with it. You can't beat Crutchfield service.
Cons: There aren't any cons--it was a great experience. I like it so much, I'll never use anyone else but Crutchfield.

iDatalink Connec KIT-MUS1 Factory Integration Adapter
Benjamin from Central Point, OR on 1/2/2019
2013 Ford Mustang
I installed this with the maestro unit and a Kenwood head unit in a 2013 Mustang GT convertible with the Shaker system. 1. Identify the Sync SWI2 wire BEFORE you take out the factory head unit. The instructions say you should get 5v power from this wire. I was never able to get any voltage from it. To identify it, it's a 26 Ga blue wire that goes into pin 14 of the sync harness. 2. With the Shaker system, the speaker outputs from the factory head unit are all low power pre outs. Where the factory amplifier(s) hide is a bit of a mystery. When the RCA's from the mus1 harness are connected to the "front" and "rear" RCA outputs on the new head unit all factory speakers work and are appropriately crossed over including the factory 8" subs in the doors leaving you the sub out on the deck to add a "real" subwoofer to your system. This install was not straight forward but with a few calls to tech support I'm really happy with how it sounds and looks. Hope these tips save you from some of the headaches I experienced!

Crutchfield customer from Kingsport, TN on 7/13/2017

Fit and function were good. A little confusing at times as the instructions were a bit lacking, but patience and some basic wiring knowledge will get u thru. Programming the unit to work with your vehicle was the hardest part as it will only work with explorer and a newly formatted flas drive i.e.: can't be any hidden files on it.
Pros: Trim fits nicely and looks good. Everything works as it should. The extra storage space with the USB ports are a great feature.
Cons: Would be nice if it didn't only work with explorer. Could come with a better wiring detail for the specific vehicle

Best option
Mark from Cape Coral, FL on 5/5/2017
2014 Ford Mustang
I can't add much to what's been said, i.e. good color match, great fit, buttons look and feel cheap, etc. I installed it along with a Kenwood 9903, so a/c is controlled by the Kenwood interface. I really worried that this would suck, but actually works fine. The Kenwood display interface looks cheesy, but functions fast enough not to be an issue. To me this is the best option for installing a 2DIN hu in my car
Pros: Allows 2DIN, color matches, fits like OEM, Maestro functions as advertised.
Cons: buttons have low end feel and look. Can't change out the button covers on the far left and right (I'd prefer that all were plain black rather than the cartoonish looking printed covers)

it fits well and seems to be built well, but its finish is much darker then the factory color. so it does not match well with the console, also found that some of the buttons stick when its cold, if its color was a better match I would have given it 5 stars
Pros: fit perfectly and built strong
Cons: color is way to dark so its not a good match with the console, buttons stick sometimes

iDatalink ADS-KIT-MUS01 Dash
Thomas from Cary, NC on 12/15/2014
I got this product for my 2014 Mustang GT to install an aftermarket Kenwood. The fit and finish of this product is first rate and idatalinks integration is (in my opinion) top notch... The color matched my Mustang perfectly. The customization of the buttons and a nice extra feature and the fact you can use them for double functions (quick press for function one, long press for function two) is very helpful... Add features to your car that you didn't have to begin with...
Pros: 1. Lots of customization 2. Fit and Finish works well in the Mustang 3. extra USB's in the pocket make things easier 4. The pocket adds much needed storage 5. Integration into the car's controls (ODB2, Sync) is done extremely well 6. Use of SYNC services still retained 7. Display cars information from the ODB2 port that the car never could, VERY COOL 8. Idatalink support VERY GOOD!
Cons: Cons: 1. Customization of buttons needs to be well thought out, it requires outside programming to change things (not really a con, but a lot to change it) 2. wiring diagrams need to be updated, wire colors (mostly SYNC) did not match up, I have been installing systems for years and it took two hours pouring over forums to find the right SYNC wire to cut 3. Instructions needs to be a little clearer, I was able to adapt everything, however, better instructions would be helpful... (however, the

Nicely executed idea, atrocious instructions and documentation
Dan NJ from New Jersey on 11/16/2014
It'd be great to think this thing is as awesome as sliced bread. Super impressed by ADS courage to build something this ambitious, and hopefully, it will perform as advertised. However, they have the most convoluted, irrational and bizarre instructions and documentation for this kit. There is a harness included, but there is zero documentation or wiring diagrams included. ADS website is a mess, and trying to figure out what harness I got is never gonna happen. Thank goodness for Crutchfield, as they actually have documentation for A harness, but it does refer to 2 different harnesses, and I have no idea which one is included (is it ADS-RR(SR)-FOR01-DS-IG-EN? or is it ADS-RR(SR)-FOR01-AS-IG-EN). At least there's some references. The dash package is quite nice, and the quality is terrific. The hard buttons are great, as is the choices you can make for them. The programming is also pretty cool, but I have zero confidence this thing will work as claimed. Installing in a 2011 Mustang GT, Sync, no Nav, and replacing it with a Kenwood DNX891-HD and hope to heavens that I can get all the features to work. I suspect it'll have to come in and out of the car 20 times to iron out the bugs.
Pros: Nicely molded plastic panel. Fits well, color matches. Hard buttons are slick. Original thinking on ADS part, which I applaud... a complete replacement dash panel, who woulda thought! An awesome way to remove the lousy/busy/confusing Ford dash panel
Cons: Documentation is worse than anything I've seen in years. It is so unbelievably confusing and contradictory, as well as lacking key critical information, that I'm dubious it will work. I've read nice accounts of people plugging this stuff in and having it work, but I was expecting that I could install it with provided instructions and documentation, rather than calling ADS 100 times, and they're only open during the week, when most people work.

DS11 from Ninety Six, SC on 8/11/2014

I decided to Install this in my 2011 GT500 after seeing it on a GT500 forum. The fit is great and its very functional. I was wanting a Touchscreen with NAV and this complements it perfectly. Its nice to have the quick buttons to take you to the climate controls or what ever you decide to use them for. I used a Kenwood 771HD with it.
Pros: Gives you a cubby hole to put your Ipod and phone. Easy navigation with the buttons. Stock appearing.
Cons: The only Con I see is that you have to take it apart to reprogram the buttons if you decide to go another route with them.

Adds function and versatility to the Mustang that is needed. Gives you that much needed storage area to put your phone or other item instead of using your cup holder. Gives you touchscreen use with your Kenwood receiver and monitoring of vehicle diagnostics. Even lets you see the tire pressure in each tire instead of just a dummy light on the dash.
Pros: Everything. Wiring is straightforward and simple.

Great quality product that looks OEM when installed. The fit and finish of the product perfectly matches the rest of the car. Paired with the Maestro RR and a Kenwood DNX890HD this is the best possible replacement for any Mustang audio system.
Pros: Sets the double din opening higher than any other dash kit for better accessibility Perfectly matches the dash to look OEM 5 buttons to access common functions, with 3 programmable Pocket to keep random items 2 USB connections for flash drives and phones
Cons: The 5 buttons at the top of the radio seem a bit, "soupy". I wish they felt more like a mechanical keyboard and gave some physical feedback (click) when pressed.

What can I say? AWESOME!!!!!! I had the Metra kit, which was doable, but I was waiting forever for this kit to come out. The screen is raised for better viewing and with the Maestro, and my Kenwood 570, It is flawless... The color matches perfect, and the cubby hole to put my smokes and phone was much needed. The Stereo store had it ordered for me and was shocked that I had it in my hand... Buy it!!!!!!! My mustang is now complete!!!!m Video to come tonight!!!
Pros: everything, but the 3 buttons for you to choose rocks!!!! It even has many buttons with the icon toset up the memory... Raised screen, better display of the LCD screen, Cubby at the bottom, price, easy install...
Cons: The USB connections in the front are only for the after market stereo, and if you have an Apple device, you will have the Ipod cable sticking out..(I didn't use the USB)
