    I really want the Pioneer DMH-WC6600NEX but I want to retain the OEM 360 camera. It looks like the MAESTRO RR2 mentions it can retain it (image attached), but I haven't seen anyone here on the forums nor reddit to confirm this. I don't want to be the guinea pig.

    This is the only video I found talking about 360 camera and Toyota ... iDatalink Maestro RR/RR2 - Controlling a Toyota multi-angle/360 camera from an aftermarket radio. - YouTube

    I'd love confirmation of this before I pull the trigger as well. The TGP kits look fantastic from an effort threshold but I'd really prefer the flush mount of the Pioneer... but no 360 is a deal breaker.

    I had the same concerns before pulling the trigger on Sony. Not many actually discuss or show the Panoramic View Monitor – but if Maestro says they support, they support.

    Ensure you have your camera set to AUTO before removing your factory head unit to maintain those settings. You cannot change that once we remove the factory.

    Camera quality does not improve with a better screen.

    There are other Maestro settings that I haven't gotten to work yet, and have reached out to them. For example, your turn signal turns on your camera.

    This is awesome information. I assume you were just pushing the OEM Camera button to get it to show?

    Just to confirm, did you go into the “OEM Setup” settings of the maestro to make sure those settings are actually gone? Just curious because on my truck (non JBL, non 360 camera), every factory head unit option was available for me on the maestro in the oem setup section. So just want to make sure you have actually stumbled into there and know that for sure those settings are missing from that area.

    Yes, just push the camera button.

    Yes, came here for work, for the Naval Base in Guam.

    I actually do not have any experience with Alexa, so I cannot make a comment regarding it. I kind of use mine exclusive for Android Auto.
