They are responsive. Changing the radio firmware is a lot more complicated than what we do. We have application specific firmware and do all we can to improve/fix bugs immediately when they are reported. I don't think we'd have any more influence with them, but if someone wants to post a compete list, we will pass it along for sure.
Cheers,
Cheers,
Thanks again for your help and I look forward to getting this installed this weekend. The dash adapter is definitely high quality and matches the interior perfect.

Finally got mine hooked up and working minus buttoning up the interior panels and finishing the hook up of my rear camera.
Mine is a 2012 and the Sync wire was not blue but the 2010-2011 color instead, I must have a older wire harness in my car but it was easy to find which one it was. Everything went pretty smooth, took my time double checking my wiring and soldered all necessary connections. Took a few tries to get my phone to correctly pair with Sync but so far all is good. The kit is very good quality and fits very well. I'll try to get some pictures up and keep updating if i have any issues. If anyone has the Kenwood DNN990 or 770HD there is a new version 1.3 of their software avail for download. you have to go to the Kenwood forums on their site to find it as they have not put it on the official upgrade site yet. I had no problems downloading and installing it. Time to get caught up on some FOOTBALL!

Not exactly correct. All of the radio makers have included a new connector and sat radio protocol called SXi and the vast majority of them can be directly connected to the SiriusXM SXV200V1 tuner.
They will not transfer you intro subscription to a new tuner, but if you are persuasive, sometimes they will give you a nice discount on prepaid 1,2 or 3 years of service since you are losing you intro subscription. Most often though the call either goes bad or worse than bad.
In the past the tuners were all brand specific, but that seems to be mostly sorted out now.

So, if we set aside the subscription issue - if I want to maintain both Sync and Sirius XM Satellite in my 2014 GT Premium - then can you confirm all the items I would need to buy?
I am hoping to use the existing satellite antenna puck on the top trunk lid.
For GPS in the Kenwood - for NAV - I understand that would be a new antenna (hopefully under the dash - with no metal above).

I got the H/U and camera off Amazon-the cheapest I could find. Weird thing happened this morning-started car and backed out of garage and before i got to the end of the driveway the radio came on-usually takes another 15 or so seconds with this H/U, the camera stayed on when I put in drive and I had to cycle to park and back to drive before the camera view would cycle off. Other than that I have not had any issues with this H/U.

My buddy just installed this kit along with the Kenwood DNX890HD.
Two issues:
1) Pandora app won't play music. Phone and radio show it's actually playing, but no sound comes through. Phone is Samsung Galaxy S4. If we go to Sync BY Media, it plays fine, but then you can't control Pandora through the head unit like you would if you went through the Pandora app itself.
2) Gauges display doesn't work. The only thing I can think it might be is that his car has a tune in it, which is accessed through the OBD2 port obviously. Can anyone confirm that is the reason why the gauge display doesn't work? We triple checked the wiring and everything is right. Tire pressure, voltage, and door ajar warnings work like they should, just not the gauges.

I have a tune on my car as well but no issues with the gauges. I had to fiddle with the Pandora & Iheart apps to get them to work right but may have just been me not having the settings right when I first set everything up.
Make sure you go into the "my mustang" menu and all the car info is loaded, that might help. Good luck and 12V guy might have the answer.

Have him double-and-triple check he's connected the right wires from the Maestro to the OBD-II wire.
