Retained features will vary by vehicle and aftermarket head unit.

Flashing the Module: The iDatalink Maestro RR (ADS-MRR) will need to be loaded with correct firmware before installation. The included USB cable plugs into your PC and allows you to "flash" the Maestro RR with the appropriate firmware to prepare it for installation. Just visit iDatalink's Weblink site, and follow the instructions. System Requirements for Weblink 6.0 include:

• Windows 2000 (SP4), XP (SP2), Vista, and 7
• Administrative rights on your PC
• Internet Explorer 7.0 or greater (excluding 64-bit version)
• Available USB port

 Note: iDatalink Maestro RR is not compatible with a Mac.

Aftermarket Radio Compatibility: The iDatalink Maestro RR (ADS-MRR) is compatible with a wide variety of aftermarket radios. Features will vary by vehicle and type of head unit.

• Head Units w/ iDatalink Serial Port: The iDatalink Maestro RR (ADS-MRR) is fully compatible select Kenwood, Alpine, and Pioneer receivers which feature a iDatalink serial port. These radios allow you to retain Ford Sync, GM Satellite Radio/Digital Fader, and Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep U-Connect factory features. Compatible Kenwood and Alpine head units also add Extra features, such as selectable gauges and vehicle information. The following aftermarket head units feature iDatalink's serial port.
  • Kenwood: 2012-up DNX/DNN/DDX01/DDX02-series receivers; for interfacing the Maestro RR with a Kenwood 2012 DNX-series navigation head unit, you'll want to add the iDatalink Maestro ADS-HRN(SX)-ALL01 cable sold separately)
  • Alpine: INE-W957HD/X008/X009), and 2014-up
  • Pioneer: 2014-up AVIC-NEX series and 2015 AVH-X series receivers via a firmware update,
• Non-Serial Port Radios: The ADS-MRR is also compatible with non-serial port radios from Kenwood, Advent, Alpine, Axxera (Dual), Blaupunkt, Boyo, Clarion, Eclipse, Jensen, JVC, Pioneer, and Sony.

Navigation Outputs: The ADS-MRR provides a VSS (vehicle speed sense), Foot Brake, Parking Brake, and a Reverse Light output to make installing practically any aftermarket navigation radio simpler and less time consuming in select Ford/Lincoln/Mercury, GM, Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep, and Volkswagen vehicles.

Steering Wheel Controls: The iDatalink Maestro RR also lets you retain your Ford/Lincoln/Mercury, GM, Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep, and Volkswagen vehicle's OEM steering wheel controls when replacing the factory radio with an aftermarket stereo that offers a SWC input. In addition to retaining the original steering wheel functions, you can assign secondary press & hold features to the buttons of your choice. There is only one wire that will have to be spliced when installing this interface in your compatible Ford/Lincoln/Mercury vehicle. However, if the vehicle was equipped with factory navigation, there will be no extra SWC wires to connect in the vehicle. You will not have to splice any wires to get SWC functionality in a compatible GM, Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep, or Volkswagen vehicle.

 Note: Steering wheel controls work with the following brands - Advent, Alpine, Axxera (Dual), Blaupunkt, Boyo, Clarion, Dual, Eclipse, Jensen, JVC, Kenwood, Pioneer, and Sony. Other brands are not supported.

Amp Turn-On Lead: The ADS-MRR provides an amp turn-on lead to turn on any factory amps when installing virtually any aftermarket head unit. Both balance & fade control are retained in many vehicles with analog amplifier systems. 2013-up DNN/DNX-series, Alpine INE-W957HD/X008/X009, or 2014-up Pioneer AVIC-NEX series head units also support fading in vehicles with digital amplifier systems.

 Note: If you are installing an aftermarket head unit that does not feature an iDatalink serial port, then you will not be able to fade in vehicles with digital amplifier systems. In this case, adjust the factory amplifier's fader prior to installation of the new aftermarket head unit.

Extra Features: When installing a compatible Kenwood 2013-up DNX/DNN-series receiver or Alpine INE-W957HD/X008/X009 head unit, the iDatalink Maestro RR offers extra features such as User Selectable Gauges, Vehicle Info (Tire Pressure/Battery Voltage/Check Engine Codes/Door Ajar Warning), and Visual Park Assist for select Ford/Lincoln/Mercury, GM, Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep, and Volkswagen vehicles.
