I am not going to include pics because I have insanely messy wiring. I have installed many radios in the past but never integrated oem features. This guide http://www.clubfrontier.org/forums/...atures-cam-usb-port-satellite-antenna-169905/ deserves almost all of the credit but I would like to lay out a few steps I have taken.
First, the maestros instructions are okay but leave a bit to be desired. I have the display only Bluetooth radio. For this unit follow the Bluetooth and nav instructions as the is no Bluetooth unit under the seat. It's all part of the head unit.
The only thing I really did different was wire the rear camera from the oem wiring to a Rca video cable and hooked the reverse signal wire from the aftermarket unit to the reverse signal input and output on the oem wiring harness. (Downside to this is the camera comes on only in reverse as it should but not when trying to adjust the parking guide lines. )
I also ran 2 additional wires to the obdii wiring to add gauges to the unit through the maestro.
I used a mini female to type a usb adaptor to retain the stock usb.
On to the issues I face.
As mentioned above, the camera has no power unless in reverse. Factory unit could power it while not in reverse if the diagnostics where turned on.
No oem mic yet.
I am having 2 issues with the maestro.
It won't connect while my bully dog is connected and the gauges do not seem to display proper information. This could be an issue with the maestro or my pioneer 4200nex. I will contact support to find out why.
I hope someone finds this useful.
One last thing. Do any of you have any creative phone mount setups? I do not want to use my windshield or dash if possible. I was thinking maybe just to the left of the shifter somehow.
