AMICELI Posted July 17, 2015 Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 I got my head unit professionally installed with Idatalink maestro RR, They told me they updated it the maestro with the latest update, And i also updated my deck to ver 1.10. My car is 2013 chrysler 200 The issue is that my deck does not detect the idatalink with the OEM, in the connection menu, it says NOK I do have steering wheel control. I spoke to the store where i got it professionally installed. They claim that I would lose the steering wheel control if they changed the wired around. Which it doesn't make any sense to me. I just took their word that that they updated to the latest update for avic 8000 nex. What could the issue be? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

493008 Posted July 17, 2015 Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 Total guess: they connected the maestro to the steering wheel control input, not the idatalink port of the 8000. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EvgaGaming Posted July 18, 2015 Report Share Posted July 18, 2015 Total guess: they connected the maestro to the steering wheel control input, not the idatalink port of the 8000. So what is the difference/effects of connecting it to the steering wheel control input vs. the idatalink port of the 8000? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
493008 Posted July 18, 2015 Report Share Posted July 18, 2015 If it is connected to the SWC input, you would only get SWC. If connected to the idatalink port, you get the SWC and the other functions the idatalink supports for your vehicle/head unit combo. In the Chrysler 200, that is UConnect, and the source is output to the EVIC display. I don't know if the Pioneer supports source data output. Not certain which UConnect functions would work, so there might be no difference if it was connected to the idatalink port in this case. Other than the install indicator showing OK.

AMICELI Posted July 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2015 Thanks for the reply, i will stop by to the shop soon, to tell them they screwed up, well my car a equip with an usb port and would only work with uconnect, i'm pretty sure idatalink would make it useable again, even if its just some minor things.. better than nothing Quote Link to post Share on other sites
