With the Kennwood and idatalink maestro can you use the push to talk button on the steering wheel to initiate a phone call?

Is it better than the oem one? What did you do with the oem gps? My 14's gps screen cracked. I am looking for a solution. Thanks. Anyone wants to sell the oem unit?

Pick up and end call work fine, the voice button activates Siri.

I am unsure what to do yet with the OEM, only works for Limited with JBL. They are pretty expensive, cheaper just to go aftermarket.

Hay Dude,

Really clean install. Im always happy to see that we still have aftermerket options with cars this new!

are you running a custom audio system as well?

Do you have picture of it? just in case, how much you will want

Sorry, I'm going to hang on to it for now.

The module integrates with the JBL system also. I'm pleased with how it sounds.

Some pretty cool news today from Kenwood at CES. Finally a deck that will integrate with a radar detector!

What do you mean without Entune? Without the touchscreen stereo or without the app suite? The radio retains full music functionality without using the Nav or the app suite. I've actually used 3 different versions of the Entune app suite, and it finally seems to work as expected. The destination search and sync w/ the built in navigation works pretty decent.

Sorry, yes. Without Nav or any of the factory garbage. When I placed my order at the time, you could select it without the Nav unit but this was changed the configuration sometime between when I ordered and when production began. (Or so I was told)

I'm pretty sure that touchscreen has been standard since 2012.

Having had the original Bluetooth capable, non-screen unit in my 2010 SR5 and the screen unit in my 2016 TEP, give me the touch screen every day of the week.

More info on radar detector integration and a screenshot with new Kenwoods being released later this year.

I was almost certain you could receive a 2013 and prior without the touchscreen, which is what I wanted. I didn't want to waste money on something I'd likely dislike due to function and reliability, and would likely have to replace. Which is where I am now.

It's a pet peeve more than anything. Griping to Gripe.

@Superjet I'm looking to pick up one of these units as soon as the Kenwood DDX-9903s comes out, which is supposedly very soon. It's first one to have a capacitive touch screen and it also has 5v pre-out, which will be nice.

When I was putting everything together on Crutchfield they suggested the Maestro, and after looking at the cost of all the other adapters for the back-up cam, steering wheel controls, etc. it's not even that much more to buy one of these and get all the cool diagnostic features as well.

One question... It says you need a Windows laptop configure the device and flash the proper firmware on there. I'm hoping the answer it that it doesn't really matter, but it says it does not support Windows 10, which is on the only laptop I have. Did you use a Windows 10 laptop?

I flashed mine with Windows 10, need to use Internet Explorer not Edge or any other browser. Open the website with Edge, then top right go to options anf select "open with internet explorer". Install the software/driver before plugging in the module.

Be sure to use my shopping list and you won't be disappointed.
