iDatalink Maestro AUS-MRR2 Universal Radio Replacement Interface (Rr2)

Quick answer

The iDatalink Maestro AUS-MRR2 is a radio replacement interface that keeps steering wheel buttons, the factory amp and vehicle settings when you fit a new head unit.

Swapping the factory radio in a modern car can otherwise cost you those features. With an iDatalink compatible Kenwood radio it can also show gauges, vehicle info, parking assistance and climate control screens.

Problems it solves

• Losing steering wheel controls after a head unit swap. The RR2 retains them with select aftermarket radios.
• Factory amplified sound systems. It keeps the factory amp working.
• Missing vehicle info on a new screen. Compatible Kenwood radios show gauges and climate data through it.
