I've recently completed install of an Alpine ILX-407 unit, accompanied by the Maestro RR2 & Linkswell adapter to retain factory controls as well as the backup camera. The install kit I purchased came with a new media hub, with two USB ports on it. The Alpine only has one USB input, so I'm...

I'm looking at the Maestro iDatalink myself, but the factory usb question is still what is stopping me from making a purchase. I did receive my dash install kit this week though!
