Review on Universal Radio Replacement and Steering Wheel Interface - Maestro ADS-MRR Enhanced for SEO by Patrick Stephani

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The only way to connect a new radio to a modern car!

Doesn't quite fit my car, but does more than stated. Not only did I keep normal operation (door delay, use and control of the factory booster, steering wheel controls, etc.), but it shows the radio station and some information on the in-dash display, which it claims it doesn't. In addition, you can program it so that the buttons on the steering wheel perform more than one function (e.g. hold down the volume and turn off the radio). The icing on the cake was the ability to connect it to the ODB port and get performance and engine information. The only downside is the programming. The web app has to use DirectX, to be honest I wasn't even sure if I had a web browser that would allow me to use DirectX with Edge installed by default on Windows 10 machines. Luckily that hides IE still in the background. Once I figured it out, programming became easy and straightforward. If you're buying a quality radio for your modern ODB II car, don't buy it without an iDatalink connector and be sure to use one of these!
