Ford double-DIN radio integration
The iDatalink KIT-MFT1 enables installation of a compatible double-DIN stereo in select 2011-up Ford trucks. It bundles a dash kit, wiring harness, and a replacement media hub with 2 USB ports, an HDMI jack, and a 3.5 mm AUX jack. The kit works alongside the required Maestro ADS-MRR module to connect the new radio. Builders who need a single-DIN solution or a vehicle-specific kit outside the listed Ford range cannot use this package.
Factory feature retention under daily use
Steering wheel audio controls, the factory backup camera, and the OEM amplifier remain active after installation. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto function through the new head unit while the system preserves Ford customization menus for lighting, door locks, and other settings. The factory amp fader and DSP settings stay accessible, and the rear-seat entertainment system continues to operate. Owners who rely on proprietary Ford telematics not covered by the kit will lose those specific functions.
Thermals noise and power draw in normal use
The kit contains only passive wiring, connectors, and plastic trim pieces, so it generates no audible noise and adds no measurable thermal load to the cabin. Power draw is limited to the minimal current needed for the retained steering wheel controls and media hub circuitry. No cooling provisions or extra wiring gauge upgrades are required for the integration hardware itself. Installers who expect active signal processors or amplified outputs in the box will not find them here.

Questions about this item
Does the replacement media hub draw much power when the truck sits overnight?
The hub is passive and only routes the two USB ports, HDMI jack and 3.5 mm AUX jack; it has no active circuitry that would drain the battery.
What separate module must I already have for the KIT-MFT1 to function?
You need the Maestro ADS-MRR module; the kit itself only supplies the dash kit, wiring harness and replacement media hub.
Will my 2011 Ford's steering-wheel buttons still control the new double-DIN radio?
Yes, the interface retains the factory steering-wheel audio controls along with the backup camera and factory amplifier.
