There is no need to update the main software. Usually, if there is new map data, we only need to copy the new map data into the map folders. Our radios ships out with the most current version of maps available. But this is the main navigation software version, not the map data version. Yes, many customers thought they got the 2012 maps because when they check the navigation version, it displays 2012. They do not work with 802.11n/802.11bg mixed/802.11bgn mixed protocols.

They work well with iPhone 5 and Android mobile phones, and they work with a router with 802.11b/802.11g. We test the white and black wifi dongles that we sell on. I cannot connect using the WiFi network adapter to my cell phone hotspot. There should be a sticker with arrows on top of the radio that instruct the installer to remove the screws before installation. These are used to keep the CD floating mechanism fixed during shipping. You must remove the packing screws from the top of the radio. When I insert a CD or DVD, the disc will not go all the way in. Some of the aftermarket FM antenna adapters have a better signal than our adapter, and the cost is usually under $15. The first thing I would try is to go to your local car stereo store and have them swap out the FM antenna adapter. What can I do to improve my FM reception? My FM signal strength is low making it hard to tune in stations. If you are not comfortable with splicing wires, we recommend you have your local car stereo shop perform the installation. Yes, you can splice the factory backup camera into the video input of the radio, but it does require splicing into the factory wiring harness. Will the radio work with my factory backup camera?

If you don't know if your vehicle has CarPlay or not, feel free to check out our vehicle compatibility page! If you don't have wired CarPlay it might be time to upgrade your head unit, so why not upgrade with the leaders in plug-and-play radio solutions? Lots of radios will work with F150s and Maestro but not all of them will do the AC controls.If you have wired CarPlay, absolutely! The Smart Box will work in any vehicle as long as the vehicle has pre-installed wired CarPlay. Just make double sure the radio you'll looking at can do AC controls. If I hold the steering wheel 'OK' button it pulls up a screen with tons of info like Boost, EGT, AIT, ect.

I love it.Īnother cool example: My Alpine can display vehicle data from the OBD2 port. You can setup a custom steering wheel controls so I have the stock sync button setup to activate siri. I had to use the aftermarket MIC that comes with the radio. The only negitive to this is you can't use the OEM mic. I ended up programming it without sync and I just use siri for everything. I tried it with the sync and it was horrible. I would HIGHLY suggest programming out all the ford sync stuff when you program the maestro. It wasn't hard but it did take alittle trial and error and playing around. But I installed an aftermarket HU with the Maestro interface and it works great with the factory sony system. My 2011 had all the buttons without a screen. So I didn't have the same setup as you with the OEM touchscreen.
