TROUBLESHOOTING TABLE
PROBLEM
SOLUTION
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 modular 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.
Center HVAC buttons sticking.
Ensure screws on back plate are not over tightened.
No backup camera image.
Verify position of yellow 2pin plug. 2015-2017- 12 pin Screen connector. 20182021- 54 pin SYNC connector.
MAESTRO RR RESET PROCEDURE:
Turn the key to the OFF position, then disconnect all connectors from the
module. Press and hold the module’s programming button and connect all the
connectors back to the module. Wait, the module’s LED will flash RED rapidly
(this may take up to 10 seconds). Release the programming button. Wait, the
LED will turn solid GREEN for 2 seconds to show the reset was successful.

IMPORTANT: To ensure proper operation, the aftermarket radio needs to have the latest firmware from the manufacturer. Please visit the radio manufacturer’s website and look for any updates pertaining to your radio.

TROUBLESHOOTING TABLE
PROBLEM
SOLUTION
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 modular 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.
Center HVAC buttons sticking.
Ensure screws on back plate are not over tightened.
No backup camera image.
Verify position of yellow 2pin plug. 2015-2017- 12 pin Screen connector. 20182021- 54 pin SYNC connector.
MAESTRO RR RESET PROCEDURE:
Turn the key to the OFF position, then disconnect all connectors from the
module. Press and hold the module’s programming button and connect all the
connectors back to the module. Wait, the module’s LED will flash RED rapidly
(this may take up to 10 seconds). Release the programming button. Wait, the
LED will turn solid GREEN for 2 seconds to show the reset was successful.

TROUBLESHOOTING TABLE
PROBLEM
SOLUTION
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 modular 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.
Center HVAC buttons sticking.
Ensure screws on back plate are not over tightened.
No backup camera image.
Verify position of yellow 2pin plug. 2015-2017- 12 pin Screen connector. 20182021- 54 pin SYNC connector.
MAESTRO RR RESET PROCEDURE:
Turn the key to the OFF position, then disconnect all connectors from the
module. Press and hold the module’s programming button and connect all the
connectors back to the module. Wait, the module’s LED will flash RED rapidly
(this may take up to 10 seconds). Release the programming button. Wait, the
LED will turn solid GREEN for 2 seconds to show the reset was successful.
