I never understood why having the oem controls like car gauges, speedometer, tire pressure, check engine codes etc appear on screen ie Alpine and the Kenwood-. well now that i own the Alpine X009-FD2 which i absolutely love i can safely say.

I managed to get my K150 kit today after contacting a couple of distributors from 12v's site and then contacting the retailers suggested by them. One was absolutely useless, the other resulted in my kit being in my hands today about 2 weeks earlier than expected.
Hoping to do the install Sunday if the wife will take the kids.
Vant wait to get rid of that sh@tty little screen.

Vant wait to get rid of that sh@tty little screen.So where did you end up buying your kit? I am from Canada and have been looking for this kit for along time. Pretty sad seeing how it is a Canadian company, and we have a hard time even finding any sellers to buy it from in Canada.

I emailed 2 of the distributors listed on 12v's site (earlier in the thread here he posted a link). They will be able to point you to a local dealer that you'll then have to call. In my case I already had a name at the distributor from the email that I could pass on to the retailer. By the time he made the call that particular distributor was to get 21 units and 17 were already spoken for. He said mid-late june but as I said I picked mine up yesterday.

Crutchfield.ca will be bringing in all the Maestro stuff in the next few weeks. Also, so long as the retailer you were referred to carries the Maestro line (they buy it from the distributor) you can also just ask them to put the stuff you need on order at the distributor for you. While our company is based in Canada, the majority of the Maestro business is in the USA. So often the word is slower to get spread in the Canada market.
I preordered from Crutchfield US on 5/19/2015 any estimate on when they will have the kit? I am looking forward to getting rid of the POS Scosche! They have replace the HVAC module 4 times since 11/9/2015.

Only got it partially installed today as I'm still waiting for the Maestro unit. I didn't think I'd get the kit this quickly so I ordered from Amazon to save a few bucks. Should be here by Thursday. FWIW I didn't notice any of the swirls that the other poster had in some of his photos. Head Unit and bezel are in place.
Just need to figure out the antennae now. The Kenwood DNX89HD I have uses (what I would call) a normal antennae and the connector from the truck is a modular type. I'm guessing you need to cut that modular piece off and stick the cable into the antennae receptacle of the head unit? Going to do some searching here on the forum.
