Add a touchscreen stereo, keep your car's factory features
An iDatalink Maestro makes it possible

An aftermarket upgrade saves you from hefty dealership prices
If you own a Ford equipped with SYNC®, a Chrysler vehicle with UConnect®, or a GM vehicle with OnStar®, you know they're some of the better factory systems around. But you also know that if your car didn’t have navigation when it rolled out of the factory, adding it later meant: A) installing an aftermarket nav receiver and losing your factory system, or B) having a factory nav receiver installed at the dealership and spending lots of money. Now, thanks to iDatalink, there’s a better solution.

The iDatalink Maestro lets you keep the handy factory features you use everyday.
Gain navigation, smartphone controls, and hold onto your SYNC or UConnect functions
With the iDatalink Maestro radio replacement package for 2006 and up Ford, Chrysler, GM, and VW vehicles, you can install a powerful navigation receiver and keep your familiar factory features intact. And with an iDatalink compatible receiver (available from many popular brands, including Kenwood, Pioneer, and JVC), you can stay on top of what's happening under the hood with touchscreen access to information like tire pressure, battery voltage, check engine codes, and more in certain vehicles.
So, how does it work? Basically, the Maestro speaks your car's language, allowing a factory system like SYNC to communicate with your new receiver and vice-versa. The features you use every day — voice commands, Bluetooth® connectivity, iPod® control, steering wheel controls, your back-up camera, even satellite radio in some vehicles — will work beautifully alongside aftermarket benefits like an HD Radio™ tuner, Garmin navigation, CarPlay™, and Android Auto™. And best of all, when you buy the Maestro with a new receiver, we'll offer you a deep discount on it.

You'll find all of your SYNC options on the easy-to-read menu screen.
A Crutchfield Advisor takes the Maestro for a spin
To see how the Maestro works in the real world, we asked Colt, an advisor in our Southwest Virginia call center, to give it a try. His 2008 Ford Edge came with the standard SYNC system, but he’d always wanted to install an in-dash nav receiver.
“The Kenwood Excelon receiver I installed offers a nice bang for the buck, because it’s a great stereo with built-in Garmin navigation and Bluetooth,” he said. “The Maestro makes it possible to get all that stuff without losing SYNC or the steering wheel controls.”
Colt installed the receiver and the Maestro bundle himself, then used the straightforward startup menu to set his preferences.
“The Maestro lets you choose what works best for you,” he explained. “If you like the factory iPod controls, select that option. If you don’t, you can choose the Kenwood controls. The same goes for Bluetooth. I decided to stick with the SYNC options when I did the setup on my car.”
The Maestro allowed Colt to retain the factory steering wheel controls in his Edge, and let him assign a secondary “press and hold” function to each button. He was also able to keep his vehicle’s factory SiriusXM satellite radio capability, which made him happy.
If you’re thinking about upgrading with the iDatalink Maestro and you want a receiver that maximizes your vehicle's factory system, you can give an advisor like Colt a call at 888-955-6000 to investigate your options.

Thanks to the iDatalink Maestro, Colt can enjoy full control of his SYNC system as well as the souped up sound and features of a new Kenwood stereo.

I have a 2007 Cadillac STS with a non-navigation factory head unit. I would like to install a touchscreen unit with navigation. My issue is, all the cars settings are controlled through the radio. Is it possible to upgrade the system without losing these functions. (Driver/Passenger seat memory, remote start, auto lock/unlock. Etc....)

I have a 2019 Jeep Compass with Uconnect System. I am not a fan of this system and wanted to see if you have any solutions. When I put my vehicle info in it doesn't show any options for navigation or radio systems. My version of the Uconnect doesn't have navigation or other options. Any suggestions or am I limited to factory only.

I've a 2016 Hyundai Genesis that was supposed to be upgradable to Apple CarPlay. All the models with 8" screens were indeed and operating fine. My version--Genesis Ultimate--however, came with a 9.2" high definition screen. Genesis chose to ignore our category of higher end trim buyers and so, I have no ability to have Apple CarPlay working in my vehicle. Indeed, I am using our 2018 Honda Touring Accord and A C/P very successfully and so tend to favor that vehicle over the Genesis now when I am in need of A C/P trips. Do you or anyone know of how to get Apple CarPlay to work in a 2016 Genesis Ultimate without a complete kluge of the dash?

I have a 2009 Ford Edge with an aftermarket dual XDCP97BT. I bought the pac swi control but I lost a lot of key features including sync. Only the volume works in Apple CarPlay. Will the dual work with the idatalink maestro or will I have to also purchase some other head unit? Also it says the maestro works with "required vehicle-specific harness (sold separately) to retain factory steering wheel audio controls, retain the factory amp if present, and integrate all car stereo connections" how do you go about getting that harness? And finally what is the idatalink compatible receiver?

I have a 2017 Chrysler 300C and the Uconnect system constantly switches media inputs on its on like a ghost Is in the car riding along! Chrysler seems to be unable to fix the issue meanwhile all I'd like to do is listen to a complete song in peace. Would this work if I replace my factory uconnect stereo with this? Only thing is I'm afraid I'd lose the seat heating options for my front and back seats

Using that in combination with this system will I be able to retain control of the heated seats that are controlled by the sync touch system? How will that integrate?

I'm am very weary of information on here. For instance you told a guy you didn't recommend stock radio replacement because his temperature controls were integrated into the factory radio panel. He has a 2014 Impala Limited LTZ. This is the old generation Impala. It has no factory touchscreen. He wants to put in a touchscreen. The new generation Impalas are not Limited's. There is a 2014, 2015 and a 2016 Limited old generation Impala. There seems to be really bad information about Impalas in general going way back. Your site always says only a few double din receivers will fit. I can tell you they all fit except ones made specifically for a vehicle. Your site continually says front door speakers won't fit, this is your fault for not selling spacers to allow deeper depth which is easily done with Universal 1/2" Plastic Spacer Rings for 6-1/2" Speakers and other sizes that your competitor Sonic sells for $10. Your product information is not updated for over 4 years and the item has changed features several times. Many of these products you are an authorized dealer and should have a direct line contact and should email the companies at least yearly to make sure you have the latest revisions on the product specs, features and installation. It is 2018 and installing a car stereo should not be this much guess work for someone trying to install. Your installation do not take into consideration installing both a receiver and an amp. More Onstar info on interface adapters "no sound"

Nic, you will be able to retain factory features with this stereo, just not using the Maestro. If you'd like to see your options, be sure to enter your vehicle information and then click "See the installation gear you'll need" on the Sony item page. That said, I've passed your question along to an Advisor, and someone will contact you soon to answer any other questions you have.

Jeff, that Alpine receiver is vehicle-specific with the aim toward keeping the factory look of a select F-150s. Depending on your vehicle, altering climate controls may not play into an installation.

Hey Jon, Thank you for this article. I'm interested in the DNX573s or DNX673s with the Maestro ADS-RR in a 2012 Ford Fusion (SEL, Sony, No nav) and wanted to know if the Maestro will send the mirror camera over to the new deck from the wiring behind the stereo or if there is additional searching & splicing that will need to happen. I'm hoping to do the install myself but in my younger years, I was never able to get my car's panels back on tightly so I'm hesitant to pull too much apart. Thank you

Hi, I have a 2016 Ford Edge with Sync that came with the built-in 4.5(?) inch screen. Is it possible to upgrade my stock radio w/Sync to either just Sync3 or Sync3 with a better head unit? When I bought the vehicle I couldn't afford the 201a equipment group which included Sync3, 12 speakers, sub-woofer with a Sony head. I only have six speakers, no sub and stock Ford radio. Any comments or suggestions on 1) if I can upgrade at all, and 2) if so, what's the best recommended upgrade and the best services to do the upgrade? Thanks so much.

I have a 2009 F150 platinum. The climate control can 90% be controlled by physical buttons. But there are somethings that require the stock touchscreen. I would like to upgrade and get car play. Would a Maestro allow me to keep these features?

I have a 2010 Ford F-350 with Sync. I am replacing the factory radio with a JVC KW-V850BT unit. I would like to maintain sync access and steering wheel controls. When researching this seems possible with a module. My question is this actually possible and witch module is best for my situation?

Hi, I have a 2018 Ford Mustang Ecoboost Premium. Looks like my 7" screen has died (have it at Dealership now). Just out of warranty, and afraid what the replacement cost may be. I would like to have Alpine or Kenwood Touchscreen to replace it. My question is- will the factory installed backup camera work on one of these units? Anyway to have Sync options to a new unit?

I have a 2016 Honda Civic LX. Is there any way to replace the non-touch screen with a touchscreen that includes apple carplay? And if so, how much would that cost?

I have a 2017 jeel wrangler unlimited. I'd like to replace my factory radio with a radio and data link where I can have Bluetooth, connect a backup camera, have improved sound, and have off road navigation and pitch and roll data. What would you recommend?

Hi. I have a 2005 Lexus LX470 which seems to have a lot of touchscreen bells and whistles for its day. Climate control is touch screen in addition to the audio. Do you think I have any options for an upgrade to be able to connect my phone and Car Play? I have researched the various "Tesla Style" head units and many are compatible with 2005 Lexus LX470, but when it comes to the options that mine has (touch screen climate control), it gets ruled out. At least as far as I can tell. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
