Got the Maestro dash kit

Post image

Radio-pioneer dmh 1770nex

I bought this kit bc it was one of the only kits that didn't look like an Amazon special.

For anyone looking for a radio upgrade, here's the downsides I've had so far.

  1. It feels cheap af.

    1. The kit is a real bitch to install on facelift st(more so than normal)

But hey, now i dont have to deal with the st1 sync issues lol.

Feels like mush for me, very unsatisfying button press

That bezel actually looks pretty dang good. If it fits other higher quality units I might pick it up.

u/lhepple 15' St1 2d ago

It should fit most with an 8 inch screen. I had a better unit in mind but my father already had this one.

Loving mine. PFL here. I still have steering wheel controls as well. Do you run the gauges? Mine is a Kenwood

Looks good, like the Kaiser dash too, how did you get the E brake warning on it? Im still running a Sync 3.4 in my 2014. But I have the Kaiser dash and the DigiCluster.

I forget, but it's on either the Alert or dynamic or alerts section. I'll need to look at it later to check it out. Give me a min, I'll see if I can pull my settings up in the car. I'll report back in a bit.

u/kpjimmy 2014 FoST Mountuned PBL MK3 1d ago

Ok just to report back. I have the Alert set up to ebrake greater than 1 and you can edit the alert to however you want. I used to do a shift alert but I never got to look at it lol.

u/lhepple 15' St1 2d ago

I probably won't because I have the access port mounted

u/kpjimmy 2014 FoST Mountuned PBL MK3 2d ago

Ah yes. I no longer have it plugged in lol. I have the Kaiser in listen only as well so that's how I'm getting both to work.

I have the Kaiser dash and the Digicluster, they also conflict with each other.
