Note: The iDatalink Maestro KIT-FOR1 requires the purchase of the iDatalink Maestro RR or RR2 (sold separately) and the download of a vehicle specific firmware from iDatalink's Weblink Desktop (for Windows and Mac).
Head Unit Connection: The KIT-FOR1 supports iDatalink's Direct T-Harnesses (sold separately) for direct connection to select iDatalink Serial Port compatible head units (including Kenwood, JVC, Alpine, Sony, and Pioneer radios) - replacing the wiring harness that comes with your aftermarket stereo (some hardwiring may still be required).

This was the perfect kit needed to replace the oem Sony Nav in my 2011 Ford F150 Platinum. This kit paired with the Maestro RR2 allowed me to keep my factory controls for a/c and other functions. It's worth the price for the convenience added to the install.
