ScIOn FR-S BaSe 2013-2016
PROBLEM
SOLUTION
Gauges do not work, radio shows OBD2 Error 1 or Error 2.
Ensure OBDII connector is securely attached to the OBD2 connector of the vehicle. If you hardwired connections at the OBDII, check connections at the OBDII connector. Make sure the RED/BROWN wire is on PIN 6 and the YELLOW/ BROWN wire is connected to PIN 14 of the OBDII connector. Do not use T-Taps. Soldering or military splicing methods are recommended.
If anything else is connected to the OBD2 or CAN wires of vehicle (programmer, throttle controller, insurance tracker, etc.) try unplugging it to see if gauges work. If gauges work without it installed, call tech support for options.
Backup camera is not displayed. Radio switches to blank screen.
Reset the RR.
Verify factory radio screen size (diagonally, if mentioned in the guide) and
vehicle listed at top right corner of the guide matches the vehicle. There are
3 different camera connection options based on vehicle, screen, etc.
Starlink connector isn’t present.
Some vehicles show Starlink on the radio screen when booting, but do not have the buttons present in the vehicle overhead console. If buttons are not present, the vehicle does not have Starlink. This connection is only required when equipped with Starlink.
Front speakers do not play but rears do.
Reconnect the factory Starlink module. It is mounted below the factory radio, on its metal mounting brackets. This module must remain in the vehicle. Ensure that all connections (connectors or wires) are done exactly as shown in step 2.
Vehicle has Harman Kardon system and no sound.
Ensure the BLUE/WHITE amp turn-on wire is connected. Ensure the 6-pin connector (plug with blue, green, green/black, purple, and purple/black wires) on the T-harness is not connected to the car.
Radio turns on but will not turn off, even with doors opened. (Vehicles with CAN connections at the climate controls only, refer to wiring diagram).
Verify CAN connections at the climate controls have been made. The BROWN/RED and BROWN/YELLOW wires need to be cut in the harness. Maestro RR side of those wires should be extended to the climate control harness, as shown in the diagram. CAN wires should be next to each other in the plug, not on top of one another. Some vehicles have a wire below pin 1 that matches the color for pin 2.
The light on the Maestro is blinking RED TWICE and the radio IS turning on.
Ensure the 4-pin data cable is connected between the radio and the RR, and that it is plugged into the black port on the Maestro RR. The red and blue ports on the RR should be empty.
Make sure the correct radio model and serial number were entered during the flash. Verify the radio’s serial number entered during the flash matches what is listed on the radio screen. This can be found in the settings of the radio, listed as Device Id, Device Number, or Serial Number.
The light on the Maestro is blinking RED TWICE but radio is NOT turning on.
If installing a floating screen type radio and it is not turning on, ensure the screen is secured and any trim pieces on the radio have been installed fully. Not installing these fully will prevent radio from powering up and show a 2x red error as well. Test red and yellow wires for DC voltage at radio using a multimeter. Contact support if no voltage on red or yellow.
The light on the Maestro is flashing RED ONCE.
There is no firmware on the module; flash the RR module.

PROBLEM
SOLUTION
Gauges do not work, radio shows OBD2 Error 1 or Error 2.
Ensure OBDII connector is securely attached to the OBD2 connector of the vehicle. If you hardwired connections at the OBDII, check connections at the OBDII connector. Make sure the RED/BROWN wire is on PIN 6 and the YELLOW/ BROWN wire is connected to PIN 14 of the OBDII connector. Do not use T-Taps. Soldering or military splicing methods are recommended.
If anything else is connected to the OBD2 or CAN wires of vehicle (programmer, throttle controller, insurance tracker, etc.) try unplugging it to see if gauges work. If gauges work without it installed, call tech support for options.
Backup camera is not displayed. Radio switches to blank screen.
Reset the RR.
Verify factory radio screen size (diagonally, if mentioned in the guide) and
vehicle listed at top right corner of the guide matches the vehicle. There are
3 different camera connection options based on vehicle, screen, etc.
Starlink connector isn’t present.
Some vehicles show Starlink on the radio screen when booting, but do not have the buttons present in the vehicle overhead console. If buttons are not present, the vehicle does not have Starlink. This connection is only required when equipped with Starlink.
Front speakers do not play but rears do.
Reconnect the factory Starlink module. It is mounted below the factory radio, on its metal mounting brackets. This module must remain in the vehicle. Ensure that all connections (connectors or wires) are done exactly as shown in step 2.
Vehicle has Harman Kardon system and no sound.
Ensure the BLUE/WHITE amp turn-on wire is connected. Ensure the 6-pin connector (plug with blue, green, green/black, purple, and purple/black wires) on the T-harness is not connected to the car.
Radio turns on but will not turn off, even with doors opened. (Vehicles with CAN connections at the climate controls only, refer to wiring diagram).
Verify CAN connections at the climate controls have been made. The BROWN/RED and BROWN/YELLOW wires need to be cut in the harness. Maestro RR side of those wires should be extended to the climate control harness, as shown in the diagram. CAN wires should be next to each other in the plug, not on top of one another. Some vehicles have a wire below pin 1 that matches the color for pin 2.
The light on the Maestro is blinking RED TWICE and the radio IS turning on.
Ensure the 4-pin data cable is connected between the radio and the RR, and that it is plugged into the black port on the Maestro RR. The red and blue ports on the RR should be empty.
Make sure the correct radio model and serial number were entered during the flash. Verify the radio’s serial number entered during the flash matches what is listed on the radio screen. This can be found in the settings of the radio, listed as Device Id, Device Number, or Serial Number.
The light on the Maestro is blinking RED TWICE but radio is NOT turning on.
If installing a floating screen type radio and it is not turning on, ensure the screen is secured and any trim pieces on the radio have been installed fully. Not installing these fully will prevent radio from powering up and show a 2x red error as well. Test red and yellow wires for DC voltage at radio using a multimeter. Contact support if no voltage on red or yellow.
The light on the Maestro is flashing RED ONCE.
There is no firmware on the module; flash the RR module.

PROBLEM
SOLUTION
Gauges do not work, radio shows OBD2 Error 1 or Error 2.
Ensure OBDII connector is securely attached to the OBD2 connector of the vehicle. If you hardwired connections at the OBDII, check connections at the OBDII connector. Make sure the RED/BROWN wire is on PIN 6 and the YELLOW/ BROWN wire is connected to PIN 14 of the OBDII connector. Do not use T-Taps. Soldering or military splicing methods are recommended.
If anything else is connected to the OBD2 or CAN wires of vehicle (programmer, throttle controller, insurance tracker, etc.) try unplugging it to see if gauges work. If gauges work without it installed, call tech support for options.
Backup camera is not displayed. Radio switches to blank screen.
Reset the RR.
Verify factory radio screen size (diagonally, if mentioned in the guide) and
vehicle listed at top right corner of the guide matches the vehicle. There are
3 different camera connection options based on vehicle, screen, etc.
Starlink connector isn’t present.
Some vehicles show Starlink on the radio screen when booting, but do not have the buttons present in the vehicle overhead console. If buttons are not present, the vehicle does not have Starlink. This connection is only required when equipped with Starlink.
Front speakers do not play but rears do.
Reconnect the factory Starlink module. It is mounted below the factory radio, on its metal mounting brackets. This module must remain in the vehicle. Ensure that all connections (connectors or wires) are done exactly as shown in step 2.
Vehicle has Harman Kardon system and no sound.
Ensure the BLUE/WHITE amp turn-on wire is connected. Ensure the 6-pin connector (plug with blue, green, green/black, purple, and purple/black wires) on the T-harness is not connected to the car.
Radio turns on but will not turn off, even with doors opened. (Vehicles with CAN connections at the climate controls only, refer to wiring diagram).
Verify CAN connections at the climate controls have been made. The BROWN/RED and BROWN/YELLOW wires need to be cut in the harness. Maestro RR side of those wires should be extended to the climate control harness, as shown in the diagram. CAN wires should be next to each other in the plug, not on top of one another. Some vehicles have a wire below pin 1 that matches the color for pin 2.
The light on the Maestro is blinking RED TWICE and the radio IS turning on.
Ensure the 4-pin data cable is connected between the radio and the RR, and that it is plugged into the black port on the Maestro RR. The red and blue ports on the RR should be empty.
Make sure the correct radio model and serial number were entered during the flash. Verify the radio’s serial number entered during the flash matches what is listed on the radio screen. This can be found in the settings of the radio, listed as Device Id, Device Number, or Serial Number.
The light on the Maestro is blinking RED TWICE but radio is NOT turning on.
If installing a floating screen type radio and it is not turning on, ensure the screen is secured and any trim pieces on the radio have been installed fully. Not installing these fully will prevent radio from powering up and show a 2x red error as well. Test red and yellow wires for DC voltage at radio using a multimeter. Contact support if no voltage on red or yellow.
The light on the Maestro is flashing RED ONCE.
There is no firmware on the module; flash the RR module.

Reconnect the factory Starlink module. It is mounted below the factory radio, on its metal mounting brackets. This module must remain in the vehicle. Ensure that all connections (connectors or wires) are done exactly as shown in step 2.
Vehicle has Harman Kardon system and no sound.
Ensure the BLUE/WHITE amp turn-on wire is connected. Ensure the 6-pin connector (plug with blue, green, green/black, purple, and purple/black wires) on the T-harness is not connected to the car.
Radio turns on but will not turn off, even with doors opened. (Vehicles with CAN connections at the climate controls only, refer to wiring diagram).
Verify CAN connections at the climate controls have been made. The BROWN/RED and BROWN/YELLOW wires need to be cut in the harness. Maestro RR side of those wires should be extended to the climate control harness, as shown in the diagram. CAN wires should be next to each other in the plug, not on top of one another. Some vehicles have a wire below pin 1 that matches the color for pin 2.
The light on the Maestro is blinking RED TWICE and the radio IS turning on.
Ensure the 4-pin data cable is connected between the radio and the RR, and that it is plugged into the black port on the Maestro RR. The red and blue ports on the RR should be empty.
Make sure the correct radio model and serial number were entered during the flash. Verify the radio’s serial number entered during the flash matches what is listed on the radio screen. This can be found in the settings of the radio, listed as Device Id, Device Number, or Serial Number.
The light on the Maestro is blinking RED TWICE but radio is NOT turning on.
If installing a floating screen type radio and it is not turning on, ensure the screen is secured and any trim pieces on the radio have been installed fully. Not installing these fully will prevent radio from powering up and show a 2x red error as well. Test red and yellow wires for DC voltage at radio using a multimeter. Contact support if no voltage on red or yellow.
The light on the Maestro is flashing RED ONCE.
There is no firmware on the module; flash the RR module.

PROBLEM
SOLUTION
Gauges do not work, radio shows OBD2 Error 1 or Error 2.
Ensure OBDII connector is securely attached to the OBD2 connector of the vehicle. If you hardwired connections at the OBDII, check connections at the OBDII connector. Make sure the RED/BROWN wire is on PIN 6 and the YELLOW/ BROWN wire is connected to PIN 14 of the OBDII connector. Do not use T-Taps. Soldering or military splicing methods are recommended.
If anything else is connected to the OBD2 or CAN wires of vehicle (programmer, throttle controller, insurance tracker, etc.) try unplugging it to see if gauges work. If gauges work without it installed, call tech support for options.
Backup camera is not displayed. Radio switches to blank screen.
Reset the RR.
Verify factory radio screen size (diagonally, if mentioned in the guide) and
vehicle listed at top right corner of the guide matches the vehicle. There are
3 different camera connection options based on vehicle, screen, etc.

TROUBLESHOOTING TABLE P1/2
SuBaRu FOReSteR wIth 6.5 Inch ScReen 2018
PROBLEM
SOLUTION
Gauges do not work, radio shows OBD2 Error 1 or Error 2.
Ensure OBDII connector is securely attached to the OBD2 connector of the vehicle. If you hardwired connections at the OBDII, check connections at the OBDII connector. Make sure the RED/BROWN wire is on PIN 6 and the YELLOW/ BROWN wire is connected to PIN 14 of the OBDII connector. Do not use T-Taps. Soldering or military splicing methods are recommended.
If anything else is connected to the OBD2 or CAN wires of vehicle (programmer, throttle controller, insurance tracker, etc.) try unplugging it to see if gauges work. If gauges work without it installed, call tech support for options.
Backup camera is not displayed. Radio switches to blank screen.
Reset the RR.
Verify factory radio screen size (diagonally, if mentioned in the guide) and
vehicle listed at top right corner of the guide matches the vehicle. There are
3 different camera connection options based on vehicle, screen, etc.
Starlink connector isn’t present.
Some vehicles show Starlink on the radio screen when booting, but do not have the buttons present in the vehicle overhead console. If buttons are not present, the vehicle does not have Starlink. This connection is only required when equipped with Starlink.
Front speakers do not play but rears do.
Reconnect the factory Starlink module. It is mounted below the factory radio, on its metal mounting brackets. This module must remain in the vehicle. Ensure that all connections (connectors or wires) are done exactly as shown in step 2.
Vehicle has Harman Kardon system and no sound.
Ensure the BLUE/WHITE amp turn-on wire is connected. Ensure the 6-pin connector (plug with blue, green, green/black, purple, and purple/black wires) on the T-harness is not connected to the car.
Radio turns on but will not turn off, even with doors opened. (Vehicles with CAN connections at the climate controls only, refer to wiring diagram).
Verify CAN connections at the climate controls have been made. The BROWN/RED and BROWN/YELLOW wires need to be cut in the harness. Maestro RR side of those wires should be extended to the climate control harness, as shown in the diagram. CAN wires should be next to each other in the plug, not on top of one another. Some vehicles have a wire below pin 1 that matches the color for pin 2.
The light on the Maestro is blinking RED TWICE and the radio IS turning on.
Ensure the 4-pin data cable is connected between the radio and the RR, and that it is plugged into the black port on the Maestro RR. The red and blue ports on the RR should be empty.
Make sure the correct radio model and serial number were entered during the flash. Verify the radio’s serial number entered during the flash matches what is listed on the radio screen. This can be found in the settings of the radio, listed as Device Id, Device Number, or Serial Number.
The light on the Maestro is blinking RED TWICE but radio is NOT turning on.
If installing a floating screen type radio and it is not turning on, ensure the screen is secured and any trim pieces on the radio have been installed fully. Not installing these fully will prevent radio from powering up and show a 2x red error as well. Test red and yellow wires for DC voltage at radio using a multimeter. Contact support if no voltage on red or yellow.
The light on the Maestro is flashing RED ONCE.
There is no firmware on the module; flash the RR module.
