Idatalink Maestro HRN-HRR-MA1 Plug & Play Installation Harness for Compatible Mazda (2006-2018)

Idatalink Maestro HRN-HRR-MA1

Connect an iDatalink-compatible car stereo and retain steering wheel audio controls in select 2006-18 Mazda vehicles

iDatalink meets Mazda

iDatalink's iDatalink HRN-HRR-MA1 installation harness simplifies the installation of the Maestro ADS-MRR or ADS-MRR2 Car Radio Replacement Interface module (sold separately) in select Mazda vehicles when replacing your factory radio.

The package includes a harness that plugs in between the Maestro module, your factory radio's wiring plugs, and the serial port on your new car stereo. This harness features an in-line head-unit connector harness, which will plug into their new "Head-unit direct" harnesses for select radio brands. If you're installing a radio that doesn't work with a "Head-unit direct" harness, simply cut off the plug and connect the wires to the harness included with your new radio.

Retain factory features

The HRN-HRR-MA1 harness and interface module retains your vehicle's steering wheel audio controls, factory amplifier, and backup camera with any aftermarket receiver with a composite video camera input. The harness also supplies the outputs (parking brake, reverse, and VSS [Vehicle Speed Sense]) necessary for installation of a navigation receiver, plus illumination and accessory power outputs.

Extra features with an iDatalink-ready car stereo

If you're buying a compatible iDatalink-ready car stereo, you'll also be able to display gauges and vehicle info on your receiver's screen, plus read and reset engine codes. You'll also keep your side/front/lanewatch cameras if present (receiver must have 2nd composite video camera input).

Installation note: The HRN-HRR-MA2 adapter must be used with the iDatalink Maestro ADS-MRR or ADS-MRR2 module to connect a new car stereo to your vehicle.

• retains rear-view camera, depending upon aftermarket radio inputs (iDatalink-ready car stereos also retain front, side, and 360 cameras)
