Today we are upgrading Layton’s 2012 Ford F-150 stereo to a new Kenwood unit that has Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. We’re also using the iDataLink Maestro RR unit to retain existing features as well as add some new ones. Phil demonstrates how to disassemble the dash, assemble the kit, flash the module, and give some tips along the way. This is a very worthwhile upgrade for these trucks, and really brings them up to modern standards while ditching the poorly designed SYNC system, as well as making use of the original features of the truck that are desirable.

Just successfully installed the DMX809S (I wanted wireless CarPlay so I splurged) with Maestro and using the Scosche kit. I can’t thank you enough for this video. You’re the man!

I got the same head unit. Did you splice into the Sync unit as instructions said? Just curious if I need to do this.
Fantastic and most detailed I have seen. Can't wait to replicate on my 2012 XLT.
Any suggestion on where to screw the mounts to the stereo? I cant seem to line it up.
Does this and most aftermarket radios still have the ability to get Sirius radio?
Planning to install a new stereo to 2010 F150. Crutch field says that with one of the bundles they offer, the factory display screen above the stereo will only display “DVD”. Yours shows Apple Car Play. What step achieves this?

That sounds like the PAC interface module, which doesn’t have full support for the screen. This is the iDataLink Maestro which does fully utilize the screen.

Just a quick question why you tap into the ODB
Do you loose the climate options on the sync original screen?

They will be retained as long as the options are set correctly when flashing the module.

All done through the Maestro module, no other connections made.
Does the factory usb and aux chord still work?

Factory USB will work if connected to the new unit as shown in the video, AUX will work if connections are made to the Maestro and it is configured correctly, or if the jack is rewired to the appropriate connector on the new unit and connected that way.
Just did the same setup with same radio. I cant get the voice, phone answer and hang up to work. The volume the seek button works what could it be

Make sure to check the maestro settings for steering wheel controls when you flash the module, the values may have been changed.
Can you give part numbers or links for these items?

Hey do I need to take the radio to get spliced at all?

Yea because the after market stereo needs more volts than the stock radio has. I tried to install my stereo and it didn’t turn on bc of low voltage
where did you put the maestro unit?
@TheBurnoutBroadcast

It is directly behind the stereo, since this stereo is quite low profile it fits well behind it.
Is this the same for a 2013?

Yes if the dash is the same as in the video. Some were this style, but most were the newer style with the small screen in the centre.
does the backup camera still work?

@@TheBurnoutBroadcast Can you add a back up camera? That shows when's switched to reverse or just tap on screen? Just bought a similar truck and want to upgrade. Thanks great video

Yes you can, the stereo has a yellow RCA plug on it for regular camera signal. For power just tap into the reverse signal so it turns on when in reverse, and set the stereo to switch to camera mode when in reverse.
Will this work for a 2010?
