Picked up the new ADS Maestro, ADS dash kit and Kenwood DNX890HD for the mustang. Big thanks to 2012GT/CS and Sound of Tristate for putting together an awesome deal for us. Also thanks to scott_o for some of the install questions I had to ask.
Install was pretty straight forward. Accessing the wire for SYNC and OBDII was a bit of a pain though. Really loving how much you can customize the setup and how much better the audio quality is.
CM5 kit was an mistake in the shipping, otherwise the other parts were all necessary. CM5 kit was actually supposed to be the RR Maestro unit.

Sh1tty pic.. but the SYNC wire that needed to be tested. Should read 5v and then drop when the SYNC voice command button is pushed.

Pulled the OBD2 harness out from the clip and had to splice in to these 2 wires

For splicing the factory SiriusXM antenna, you have to remove this clip after taking the cable out of the factory head unit

You can then put it in the aftermarket tuner. Its a slightly loose fit, so some epoxy was used on the outside portion.

Mess of wires from the ADS harness

Also had to run the GPS wire through the dash. Decided to mount mine in the middle of the dash in front of the light sensor

Then you plug the RR module in to the computer, program it and flash it and it fires everything up.

Unit come with a ton of different buttons so you can customize the layout of the dash kit.

Also had to run RCA's back for rest of the stereo. So much nicer going through an aftermarket deck now.
