Radar detector integrated display on the head unit (aftermarket)

Does anyone have their radar detector integrated to display on their head unit? I have a couple of questions....

 

Yes, Escort 360 MAX to Kenwood 1057 via Maestro, love it!

 

I have the Escort Max 360 MKii that I bought a couple of weeks ago. What all does it show, can you control it from the head unit, and does it mute the head unit audio during alerts? From what I see, all I would need is to upgrade my Maestro RR to the RR2 for it to work.

 

Yes to all, I don't know you have to have the RR2 (I do) There is a cable that is needed though.

 

Gotcha. I thought it was a Bluetooth connection since the detector has Bluetooth. Is it the little mini USB cable and it runs to the Maestro?

 

Muting the head unit would drive me insane. I have a Uniden R8 and it a quiet detector but anytime you’re around a city K band is everywhere.

Unless I lived in the middle of nowhere I would not want my music cutting out to give me alerts.

 

It mutes the detector alerts, not the HU.

That is the cable kit, I believe I only used the one with the mini plug, it has been 2 years.

Here are a few pics moving/engine on. The Escort is very finicky on power, if it's not getting 13v it shuts off, which is why there was a com issue in my first picture.

 

Thanks. I'll look into it.
