Does Maestro have an Sirius radio interface for our trucks now? Or is that a separate antenna I spy?

That's a separate Sirius tuner that plugs directly into the h/u

Good luck on the install. Did the same thing a little over a year ago -w- a Kenwood DNX691HD. I did purchase the Idatalink FOR1 wiring harness to integrate everything so I didn't have to splice into the factory harness. Take your time and double check your work. The hardest part I found was getting access and removing the factory HU. Did mine in about 2 hrs taking my time.

Nice, youll love it I installed the 892 in my 12, and the Maestro Rr back in Augast! Love the touchscreen and Nav., I also install a Sxv300 Sirius/XM tuner and a oem Ford logo backup cam...


Its a nice setup... Be sure to download the Inrx Traffic App for traffic updates, weather, and fuel prices....

I installed the Scosche bezel, instead of the Metra! Scosche has a much cleaner look, took me roughly 3 hours to install everything going Slow. As to not miss anything...

I installed 2 Pac usb adapters in my console, connected to the2 rear usbs on the 892. One for my Ipod Touch 32gb, another for a 32gb micro usb.

Pic of Usb inputs installed in console, and gps antenna....


Also just a tip, put your GPS Antenna under the center dash tray out of site! Works flawless, and keeps it hidden.

Nothing not to like imo, about the 892. Youll probably need to Update the firmware (Version 1.5, from Kenwood webpage), and bluetooth for the 892 as well! Took me 10 mins a piece, per update using the standard usb rear input..

If you have any questions, let me know...

Maestro no, you just need to buy a SXV300 Sirius XM tuner. It plugs into the rear of any aftermarket HU. The small box shown labeled Maestro Sat1, is a adapter cable (6" long) that connects to our oem Sirius antenna on the roof!

I used one as well, makes conecting the oem antenna easier and a more secure connection.

The only thing I'm wondering about now is integration into my factory backup camera. (I just posted on their forum). I don't know where the harness connects to the truck.

I was very happy to find the cable to connect the Sirius tuner to the factory antenna. I was dreading adding another antenna when already had a perfectly good one on the truck.
