  If your iDataLink Automobile Accessories radio isn't turning on, or it turns on and then shuts off, ensure that the 2-pin connectors in the GM2 harness are connected as shown in the provided diagram. Use a multimeter to test the red and yellow wires for DC voltage at the radio. If there's no voltage on either wire, contact support. If you're installing a modular radio and it's not powering on, verify that the screen is properly secured and that any trim pieces on the radio are fully installed.

- A
  Albert GrantAug 27, 2025
  If the light on your iDataLink Maestro is blinking red twice, it indicates a connection issue or incorrect configuration. First, ensure the 4-pin data cable is securely connected between the radio and the RR module, and that it's plugged into the black port on the Maestro RR. The red and blue ports should remain empty. Then, verify that the correct radio model and serial number were entered during the flashing process. You can usually find the radio's serial number in the radio's settings menu, often listed as Device ID, Device Number, or Serial Number. Ensure this number matches what you entered during the flash.

What to do if iDataLink Maestro K150 gauges do not work and radio shows OBD2 Error 1 or Error 2?
- Z
  Zachary ChambersAug 28, 2025
  If the gauges aren't working and the radio displays OBD2 Error 1 or Error 2 with your iDataLink Automobile Accessories, check the connections of the BROWN/RED and BROWN/YELLOW wires to the OBDII connector. Ensure these wires are connected to the correct pins (PIN 6 and PIN 14 respectively) on the OBDII connector. Avoid using T-Taps; soldering or military splicing methods are recommended for a secure connection. It's crucial to connect the BROWN/RED and BROWN/YELLOW wires, and not the red/brown and yellow/brown wires. Finally, reset the RR module.

Why steering wheel controls do not work on my iDataLink Maestro K150 Automobile Accessories?
- J
  jonathan16Aug 31, 2025
  If the steering wheel controls for your iDataLink Automobile Accessories aren't working, but the LED on the Maestro blinks when you press the steering wheel buttons, first verify that the buttons are correctly configured in the flash. If any button is set to 'none' for 'press once,' it won't function. The 'Hold' column can be left as 'none,' and the 'press once' function will still work with a single press or when holding the button. Also, check that the blue 4-pin steering wheel control cable is securely connected between the Maestro and the radio.

  If the Maestro light is blinking red twice and the iDataLink Automobile Accessories modular radio isn't turning on, ensure the screen is securely attached and any trim pieces on the radio have been fully installed. Not installing these fully will prevent the radio from powering up and also cause the 2x red error. Test red and yellow wires for DC voltage at the radio using a multimeter.
