Great Unit

Made installation a breeze! Super easy amd straight forward installation. I love that it keeps all the factory controls and you can also adjust how you want to the controls to function.

Disappointed in Both Product and Crutchfield

Very Disappointing - Bluetooth Failed, No Support from Crutchfield. I had high hopes for the Maestro RR2, but the Bluetooth flashing stopped working not long after installation. This is a key feature, and without it, the device is basically crippled. I contacted Crutchfield, expecting some kind of support given how much I've spent with them over the years - but was told the warranty only lasts one year. For a premium product from a trusted retailer, that's really disappointing. I expected better from both the product and the company. Not worth the investment if it can't last beyond the short warranty.

More headaches than it's worth for me...

I mean.... it works... sometimes. Yeah I know there's support for this but after installing it and noticing that the harness by them has a connector on it that is not correct and has no connector on the car itself, I just decided to give up on it. I had to take the red power line on the main power plug for the Toyota radio and just splicing it in to the red accessory line on the Pioneer's plug because the radio just wouldn't turn on otherwise. Could I pay someone $200 to install it? Sure. I guess I just really don't want to anymore. I thought it would be good to have this but seeing how unstable it seems to be, I'd rather just not bother. I'll unhook it and then plug in my amp back to the Prius instead like I had previously.

Almost perfect vehicle integration with a few misses

This unit is almost perfect. It preserves nearly all the steering wheel functions of our 2017 Toyota Highlander Hybrid, it's easy to flash the software, it has bluetooth connectivity for wireless flashing, it's simple to make all the necessary connections, and the small form factor allows a good fit behind the dashboard. However, it does not integrate the OEM microphone, it does not produce the desired radio "scan" feature that I programmed into it, there is no ability to monitor the hybrid engine function or MPG on the radio screen, and it is a bit expensive. I called Crutchfield about the "scan" function and they advised me that the combination of this iDatalink unit in my vehicle paired with the Pioneer DMH-WT6000NEX will only allow the steering wheel tune button to either choose radio presets or manually change radio stations incrementally, no scanning to next available station. Scan is available on the radio touchscreen, the Pioneer microphone sounds great on calls, and both the hybrid and MPG info is available on the small panel between the gauges behind steering wheel so everything remains fully functional in the vehicle. But at this price point, these limitations are a bit disappointing. Crutchfield tells me OEM microphone integration is something that's being worked. So maybe it will be available with a firmware update? Perhaps other features might also become available in the future? All in all, I'm very happy with this setup.

RR2 connected to Jensen CAR714MW

This is the brain needed to make the Jensen CAR714MW and my 2013 Kia Optima SX w/ Infinity UVO external amp to work. The brain needs the correct harness and also the analog to SPDIF module to get my steering wheel controls and digital amp to work. RR2 and the Jensen are designed to work together. They pair up to add Engine Status and Tire TPS to the screen. The Climate system does not seem to be available at this firmware level. There is a USB module for my car but it is pricey, $60, and still leaves you the Car-Play USB-A to deal with. I cut a USB-C cable and put male pins on the end that fit the OEM female pins. End result is the Jensen USB is on the OEM female USB-A just like it was. Maestro planned a Mic module for late 2024 but it never was released. I had to use the separate mic supplied in the kit. Works but has that "add on" look. First you must "flash" the firmware of the RR2. The cable, software and instructions are supplied. You follow the prompt and describe your car so it knows what to do. Should be no problem for a DIY. Next but not shouted out by any instructions is to upgrade the firmware in the Jensen. This not uncommon for things you buy today. It is easy to do, so do it early. I found out after putting my dash back together. The hardest thing about this kit is removing and reinstalling the dash sections. My only complaint is the Maestro docs are not schematics. I wanted to add a front camera and had to slit the harness and add a splice for the came

Makes aftermarket HU possible in newer cars

This unit does a great job at integrating aftermarket head units into newer cars and retaining all the factory controls/menus/etc. Only complaint is that this product should not need to exist. Head unit interfaces should have been standardized when CANBUS came out.

iDatalink Maestro RR2 Interface Module

The RR2 module made installing a Kenwood easy, although it takes some time to figure out the iData instructions. They are confusing and not vehicle specific. And the fact the kit comes with several wire bundles, brackets and screws that are not used, further complicates the install. They should send only the required wires, mounting brackets, and screws that are specific to the vehicle. That would eliminate trying to figure out what is actually needed and what could be thrown away.

The Magic Box!

This little box is "magic"! It made the installation using their wiring harness for a perfect install with the factory wiring! It took just a bit of reading the understand the process but was a breeze for the install. I would recommend using the install kit to make life easy for any aftermarket install! Once the firmware is installed via your PC, you can use a smartphone app over Bluetooth to make any tweaks! No pulling open the dash again!

Requires flashing; does the job well, but the installation manual just says it is for the RR not RR2. While it is confusing, it was cleared up with a call to tech support, who told us the connections had moved around, but to follow the color codes. The individual there at iDatalink was also versed in the Kenwood issue with the trim piece that covers the screen hinge of the DNR1007 being necessary to power up the unit (had us stumped and we found no reference to that in the instructions from Kenwood).

It's OK.

I bought this unit, thinking it would allow my new radio head unit to access all features of my 2018 Subaru Outback. However, it just didn't quite work out that way. Yes, I could see some vehicle settings and set them up. Mysteriously, my TPS information disappeared from the vehicle dashboard. I assume that the TPS information would be shown up on the new radio head unit, but that hasn't happened. I was able to use the steering wheel controls to interact with the new radio head unit, so there's that. I feel I would have done perfectly fine with the older version of the Maestro Interface Module and maybe even kept the TPS info in the dashboard.

This module is great, it was a piece of cake to install, and adds features to a compatible radio I didn't even know I wanted or needed. Worth every penny, intuitive.

Can't use this on factory unit. Aftermarket Only!

I rated this 3 stars because it does not work with a factory system. That fact was not made clear to me on the website. I was hoping to be able to use Android Auto on my factory unit and maybe save $350 or more, but that's not the case. It looks like I'll be buying a whole package which will cost $750-$800. But it will be fly when I do it!

Very disappointed..

Junk... This SHOULD be plug and play or at Least come with instructions. I downloaded their worthless app and I can't get passed some verification screen. I SHOULD have just ordered everything from a different retailer and saved some money because the supposedly free "installation" instructions from Crutchfield were a joke. I've installed dozens of aftermarket stereo into different vehicles but the problem with these new "plug and play" solutions is that they are NOT "plug and play." I've attached several photos that clearly show that there is nothing on the components OR the expensive harnesses that indicate what goes where. This is a lot of money for harnesses and the Maestro rr2. No instructions from Crutchfield and nothing from Maestro other than a link to an app that is stuck on the photo shown below...

iDatalink Maestro RR2 Interface Module

I've been putting off upgrading my new model truck for a few years now as I've been away from car audio for a number of years. Then my trucks infotainment unit went out and after seeing the cost of OEM I decided to refresh my self and confidence I could do it. I spent a couple months trying to figure it out and decide a route. Between Crutchfield and my local car audio shops I was able to zero in on everything I needed to tackle the task and save myself 2k in the process The RR2, paired with the vehicle + display unit specific harnesses made the installation effortless. I didn't have to cut or solder anything! Sounds amazing with the new speakers I already installed from thinking my original problem was bad speakers. My wife ands kids are impressed, to which I say it was kinda my thing back in the day. Although now I see more vehicle upgrades in my future. So for all yas out there debating on if you still have it to try it in your new model vehicle, you do if you go this route for sure. Ya don't get scared on the first cut of the mod by having the right stuff the first time.

Essential for keeping factory capabilities

Very happy to be able to retain most of the factory options, especially backup camera collision warnings, plus adding in nice touches like OBD data displays. Not so happy to have the backup camera display not having the guidelines. Maestro is reportedly working out the bug with Sony. Also an issue with Kenwood and Subaru Outbacks.

This product is a lifesaver!

Each year car manufacturers find new ways to keep consumers from upgrading their car stereos by passing controls and settings through the stereo. the Maestro makes unlocking all of that possible. Even for vehicles that don't have menus and settings going through the radio, this makes installations a breeze and flashing is very easy as well.

Regret

Frustrating. Followed all of the instructions to connect this device. It would not work, contacted maestro support but they only tell me that the unit is defective. It took me a while to get to this project, so it's no longer returnable and I don't want to replace it. For something this expensive it should just work (given the instructions were correctly followed). I ended up using a different product to get my new radio working, but I'm feeling the financial loss... Terrible waste of time and money considering that it's marketed as being a simple complete solution.

iDatalink Maestro RR2 Interface Module

The first one went kaput.! Crutchfield was great in replacing it, however the issue with no illumination at night on my factory controls right above the A/C panel has not been resolved with Crutchfield and also Maestro! I have taken the front panels of my vehicle 6 times following their directions with no success! I have called Maestro about 5 times and Crutchfield about the same amount with no resolution, In the Maestro install guide for my vehicle that stipulate to not use certain connections, but If I follow this logic my backup camera doesn't work! The steering wheel controls work with my Pioneer 2550NEX- but I have no lights on the factory panel anymore right above the A/C controls, so at night I cannot see my front dash panel! Maestro installation instructions need to be more precise, and they should provide me some type of resolution to fix this problem, cost of the RR2 unit was this much, then the Harness for another 45.00 bucks, then the USB harness as well. I can't stand riding around at night and not able to see my instrument panels. I have to turn on the dome light to see what I'm doing. (Frustrating)

Super functionality >and< easy setup over Bluetooth

I love the Maestro RR2! Just installed a Kenwood head unit with the Maestro RR2 in my wife's minivan and it's awesome! Easy to set it up over Bluetooth in Maestro's app to choose my special options (like which button to hold to mute the sound, what happens when I long-hold the Seek-Up button, etc.). Now my Kenwood works beautifully with my steering wheel controls, AND gives me more vehicle info than I previously had (actual tire pressure, not just a low pressure warning like it was before). Thanks Maestro for great integrations!

Great but lots of wires to stuff into the dash.

Great, but be prepared to figure out a way to get all the wires tucked in! Overall, the Maestro Rr2 did everything it was supposed to. Technical support was available on a Sunday afternoon to advise when I had multiple connection issues, which was great! So far so good on my 13 Yukon. Retained all of the factory features: calls, microphone, rear entertainment, backup camera, and added some nice engine gauges to observe for things like Exhaust Gas Temps, transmission temp (better than OEM on the dash, and several more. I highly recommend it even if the cost is rather steep, but you get what you pay for.

None of the harnesses that plug into the device are actually labeled meaning it doesn't tell you what you're actually plugging into what it does the instructions are horrible I've lost many features in my vehicle and the device is flashed I can't even use my HD radio or XM radio overall I I'm rather disappointed with this whole situation I wish I would have kept my factory stereo if anything there's no exposed factory speaker wires to hook up into my amplifier and there's no instructions that come with the device the videos they give you don't explain anything they just show harnesses being connected together really fast. The whole idea of installing the radio and this device was so that I could install an amplifier very simply plug and Play I was under the impression that there was speaker wires ready to hook up directly into my amplifier but there isn't half of this rr2 device has nothing even plugged into it matter of fact when I opened up the box you could tell someone else already had gotten this before and I am unsure if all of the harnesses were even included in with the package there was only one set of harness wires that was in a plastic case everything else was just all over inside the box I was under the impression there was something for my factory antenna to be plugged into but there isn't and I've lost power to my center speaker when everything is still being powered from the head unit.

Lacks support

Not sure what's going on with iDatalink on this one. For the price and being there flagship there isn't any documentation pertaining to the wiring diagram or output designation. All the links on their site are dead and blocked by the administrator. Even using AI to locate some schematics on a far corner of the web returns with dead ends. Lack of documentation leaves a bad taste in my wallet and concern that a company has one foot in the tech grave.

Good, not perfect

With the Maestro car side and radio side harnesses, install went well. One caution is that it is possible for one of the cables to plug it in the wrong socket on the RR2, so check the diagram. One disappointment is that for my Prius plugin, it does not display any of hybrid system information that the original radio did. I like the added bending of lines on the rear camera for steering wheel position that was not on the original.

Maestro Rr2

Used the maestro Rr2 with the Kenwood DMX1057xr in a 2021 Promaster as a radio replacement. Highly recommend the maestro, it was easy to flash the firmware and easy to connect to the harness. The 6 connectors from the harness are of unique size which makes it easy to plug them in the right location on the maestro. When done, the transfer of all the functions from the OEM radio was complete and 100% functional. The configuration guide from Idata-link is the best I've seen, clear and easy to follow. I chose to solder the harness myself. If you don't want to solder, Crutchfield offers the option to have it crimped for $25.

Love the flexibility this offers. The only issue is the instructions are a bit much. It explains install for a dozen different vehicles with very little guidance on what plugs into the unit and into which slot. I'm still working through getting my OBD date to show up on my head unit, and also had to pull everything back out to install the remote cable that it said I wouldn't need for steering wheel controls. It's a good unit but could benefit from someone spending time to detail connections rather than just a wiring diagram showing everything coming back to the box.

2015 Ford Focus and Pioneer DMH-2660NEX

Working great in my 2015 Ford Focus with a Pioneer DMH-2660NEX. Only odd thing I encountered is that the head unit wasn't going into "night mode" automatically (when the headlights would turn on). There's no dedicated "illumination" line in the head unit harness in my car - it's communicated on the CAN bus - so it's supposed to be driven by the Maestro for my install. However, no matter what I did with the headlight switch or daylight sensor, the Maestro would never pull the illumination line high. Turns out the Maestro pulls this data off of the OBDII port, which I had refrained from hooking up initially since I thought it was only used for displaying gauge info on the head unit (which I didn't care about). I called iDatalink tech support, they said hook up the OBDII connection just to make sure, and sure enough, the illumination line started working as intended. Only other thing worth mentioning is that the vehicle compatibility list for the RR2 on the iDatalink website isn't accurate. It says that the RR2 is *not* compatible with my 2015 Focus (it points to the RR), but the Weblink flashing/programming app has my vehicle as a selection, and programs the RR2 without any complaint (and again, it's working great).

Retained Steering Wheel Controls for 2009 Silverado

This works well - steering wheel controls work on my 2009 Silverado. I can summon Siri from the steering wheel. It does what it is supposed to. I knocked off a star because the flashing process wasn't smooth. You need to plug this into a computer and register it with the company and tie it to the serial number of the head unit. In order to do this you need to set up an account with the manufacturer - and this process was glitchy for me. It took several tries before they sent me the email to validate my account - it was frustrating. But once I got past that - it seems to do what it is supposed to do.

Install is not plug and play as it says..u have to tap into the oem can bus wires for full functionality. Meaning cut into the oem wiring.

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.

This little box is impressive. I was able to retain all sorts of factory features in my Subaru and even gained some. If you have a compatible car and head unit, this should be on your list for your install.

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.

Everything works as it should, it was easy to load the firmware on it thanks to datalink's website being easy and using images for everything, everything is colored so you can't really plug anything into the wrong place.

A confusing but functional unit. Some of the steering wheel functions do not appear to work correctly, and Crutchfield technician was unable to find a solution. Unit works well with that caveat.

Works great but one thing.

Great to have all my factory settings available. they only problem I had was my backup camera doesn't automatically come on when I put it in reverse. I have to select rear camera on my stereo to see behind me. This is a little annoying. But better than nothing

Money well spent. Easy enough to make you second guess yourself.

Paired with the Idatalink MFT1 kit for my truck. Using an Idatalink harness for my vehicle made this install fast and easy. Being able to load the firmware prior to install was a blessing. Reprogramming will easy using Bluetooth if I want to adjust or add things to the settings.

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

Awesome product it made me get all my steering wheel functions that I needed smoothly. The only negative I had was a Bluetooth didn't connect very well and after multiple tries I just gave up and connected to a computer to flash it then it was fine other than that I've had it in my car for going on 3 weeks now and I've had no problems. And of course I had to call crutchfield multiple times for support and every time they are awesome if a rookie like me can do it crutchfield you are the best . Here are the pictures of before and after crutchfield I mean I put my radio in ????????

Really neat piece of technology. Quite expensive once you factor in the module, harness, and other accessories to fully integrate your vehicle. Not to mention the cost of a compatible radio. With that being said, I love what they are doing and I'm thrilled that its available for so many vehicles. Easy set up that makes it a plug and play setup, recommended!
