iDatalink Maestro ADS-MSW Universal Analog Steering Wheel Control Retention Interface Module

iDatalink Maestro ADS-MSW is a universal analog steering wheel control interface that retains factory steering wheel audio controls when installing an aftermarket radio. It bridges OEM button commands (volume, track, source, mute, etc.) to compatible analog-input aftermarket radios and supports short-press and long-press function mapping. The module is programmable through iDatalink’s Weblink platform and supports a broad range of vehicles and aftermarket radio brands.

Compatibility is determined per vehicle and radio combination. iDatalink publishes vehicle fitment verification and programming guides through the Weblink portal and the online vehicle lookup tool, indicating supported functions and any vehicle-specific harness or accessory requirements.
