IDatalink vs Carbon Car Systems

I've narrowed it down to two options for a wiring harness to replace my factory stereo (Idatalink Maestro RR or Carbon Car Systems), but folks I'd like to hear your opinion... Which harness is the best for functionality and easy of install? Which is your preference?

of the choices, I'd do the idatalink as it is function added and the carbon one is very expensive for a prewired harness.


You can get metra harnesses for all the fatures though, and if you don't want to wire them yourself, crutchfield will do it for a $30 service fee, or find a local car radio shop, they can probably beat the price of the carbon solutions wiring. just my thoughts.

The idatalink Maestro RR has potential but they haven't worked out the kinks for 2017 Subaru BRZ's yet. I'm currently trying to get that going in mine. They are working on it though.
