Thanks guys or gals.....

When anyways....SUCCESS !!!! The system is in and running ! Bloody hell...I have no ideal why I did not do this sooner ! This thing rocks ! The 890HD is a great system. I still need to do the updates, but so far so good, and yes ! I now have 3 usb....WOW ! I am truly please with this setup. Fit and finish is fantastic.

On the Idatalink side of things I am basicaly using
1. Climate
2. AC/on : Hold MAx AC/on
3. Gauges : Hold Vehicle Info
4. Fan up : Hold Fan down
5. Rear defrost : Hold Forward Defrost

I am a little disappointed though that I cannot do boost....I wanted that to be my center gauge, but it is greyed out even on though I have boost.....so hmmm. But I am happy with the other options.

Middle RPM
Upper left A/F
Lower left MAF
Upper right Intake temp
Lower right Coolant temp

If you have a regular Shaker and have thought about upgrading, then do this kit. Its well worth it. Also if Kenwood is not your thing, Both Alpine and Pioneer will support the system with their offerings this year. Always good to have choices and competition !

Maybe someone can chime in.
I'm looking at the DNX890HD. What else do I need to make this work with my 2012 Base Mustang GT? Besides better speakers.

idatalink MUS1 dash kit and maestro RR module... thats it. oh and CRAB adapter for the am/fm antenna

Scuba-Matt

Thanks Would that be the Metra 40-CR10 Antenna Adapter?
Looks like I'll need the steering wheel control adapter too. I put a premium steering wheel in it.

Ninjak

The RR kit will have your steering wheel adapter.

I must say the more time I spend with this setup, the more I like it. I have now added the SiriusXM Sat adapter. Easy to put in, and after I removed the plastic tip, I was able to plug my OEM antenna directly into the XM tuner. I called up XM, and had them WAIVED my 15 dollar fee, and BAM ! Sat radio in the Shelby now. Now all I need is a nice back-up cam.

Scuba-Matt

Thanks. I'm going to pull the trigger. I hope install isn't to bad.

Ninjak

Its not bad. The hardest thing (because I suck at solder) is the OBDII port wires. Beyond that its pretty simple, and the instructions are pretty straight on. If you have sync, there is a splice you need to do to the module above the glove box.

As I said its not really bad at all. Just flash/program your RR unit before you install it. That to is pretty easy/ Just make sure to use IE, not google or firefox. You will get a error with google for sure, so just use IE.

Scuba-Matt

Thanks for the heads up, IE for sure.

This may have been answered somewhere on this thread, so please be patient. I have a 2014 GT premium with a rear camera that projects on the rear view mirror. Is there wiring where it can be displayed on the Kenwood screen?

Thanks!

Ninjak

Well the Kenwood has a port for a back-up cam. I am not sure what the cam cable looks like on the GT...I did not have the backup system on my Shelby. I am guessing if its a RCA, you would just plug it into the Backup port on the Kenwood.

I am sure someone with some more knowledge of this can chime in.

You need to cut the wires going from factory camera to rear view mirror, splice on an yellow RCA cable and plug into the Kenwood. Very possible, but not for the novice and there is no plug and play way to do it. It has to be hardwired and you need to get a yellow RCA cable from somewhere and make sure it is long enough.


Cheers,

Before I buy this kit tomorrow one more question, Will my heat and AC work, being that my car is a base model?

m4tic

Here's a few pics of my setup for sale...I've modified the startup screen to show a Mustang vs the boring Kenwood...and this setup will save you $400-$500 vs new.

Scuba-Matt

14rs3roush, Thanks for the great deal, Everything looks great, Matt

EastTNMustang

You're welcome...take your time when hooking up the sync and OBD wires.

Scuba-Matt

Got mine installed yesterday. I'm very happy with the Maestro kit (MUS1) and radio (Kenwood DNX890HD).
Thanks to Ron (14rs3roush) For a great deal on the setup. He shipped it right away and the package packing was fantastic. Everything arrived here is pristine condition.


Here are a few pic's of the install. Don't mind the glair its sunny outside and I'm at work.

Mr. V

I'm considering doing do this. My sync has gone a little poo poo. Can you control heated seats from the touch screen?
