I purchased and installed the iDatalink Maestro RR for my 2012 Nissan 370Z. I had installed a Pioneer 1330-NEX on my car and wanted to gain access to my steering wheel controls again and some of the other features that were advertised.
The install was definitely a learning experience and I wouldn’t recommend it if you haven’t done any radio installs or similar work before. Thankfully the provided wiring diagram was very accurate.
Before buying this I would reccomend that you check out iDatalink’s website where you can select your vehicle make, model, trim and aftermarket radio. After all that info is selected their website will tell you exactly what features you will gain access to and the specific wiring diagram/instructions for your particular vehicle. For my car I was able to use the Performance Gauges feature where I can now keep track of my Air/Fuel ratio, intake air temperature, timing, coolant temperature, etc. I am now also able to check any OBD2 codes that I might have straight off of my radio. Keep in mind this all depends on what car and radio you have.
To top things off I had a small issue after my install was done and I called iDatalink where I was pleased to learn that their customer service is on point. Over the phone they were really professional and able to resolve my issue with no problem.

These metra harness adapters are great, but If you have a Nissan 350z HR(2007-2009) this product will not work for you. You would have to buy the metra adapter for Nissans 1995-Up (Model number 70-7550) Unfortunately for me, I realized this once I had soldered everything and had my OEM radio's guts hanging out.
