Idatalink Maestro ADS-MRR2 Universal Radio Replacement Interface — Retain Steering Wheel Controls (HRN-HRR Harness Required)

Overview

Idatalink Maestro ADS-MRR2 is a universal radio replacement interface designed to upgrade your car audio while preserving essential factory conveniences. In supported late model vehicles, you can install a new head unit and continue enjoying steering wheel audio controls and other familiar features. This approach aims to deliver a streamlined listening experience without sacrificing known controls you rely on during every drive.

The integration relies on the correct HRN-HRR harness series plug and play interface for your vehicle, along with a compatible ACC HU head unit harness from brands like Alpine, Pioneer, Sony, Kenwood JVC, Boss, Jensen, and others. When paired properly, you gain a cohesive control surface that maps factory buttons to your new stereo, helping you adjust volume, change tracks, and access important functions with a touch of familiarity.
