help on iDataLink Maestro RR compatibility
I'm looking at installing the iDataLink Maestro RR in lieu of a few gauges on my 2013 Evo X MR, and unsure if it's compatible or not. I have a Kenwood stereo if that helps.

I was able to Install the Maestro RR no problem. I have all my steering wheel buttons working and I have the ability to display the boost gauge, water temps, etc from the OBD2 CAN tap. No need for a boost gauge install now! I am doing this with the Kenwood DMX7706s. Install took awhile as I soldered all connections, added pins to the harness for the steering wheel buttons and de-pinned / removed all unused wires. altogether a great install. the biggest issue was positioning the Kenwood deck on the mounts. I now have digital gauges for OBD2 readouts like boost, intake temp, MAF, and a more precision water temp and fuel capacity. I also gained Android Auto / Apple car play and kept steering wheel buttons which I can even custom configure now. I can confirm it works on a 2013 GSR without the RF system.

jeremy_montoya What does the OBD2 CAN tap do ? Do you connect a OBD2 to the cars port and connect a USB to your head-unit ?
In addition can you provide some pics of your setup ?

The idatalink Maestro only picks up generic PIDs. they may in the future when they add a t harness work out picking up the rest of them,. but right now, you get really basic gauges off public pids. still helpful, but not perfect. Better than the standard steering wheel controls only units. Perhaps iDatalink adds more features when and if they do a T-harness for the Evo.
