Firstech Compustar Enters the Audio Market

Compustar Reveals New CMR-710HD Vehicle Infotainment System with Built-in iDatalink Maestro

LAS VEGAS, NV – November 2nd, 2026 – Firstech, makers of the industry-leading Compustar brand, has officially announced its entry into the vehicle infotainment space with the introduction of the Compustar 710HD (CMR-710HD). The new 6.9-inch digital media receiver marks a major milestone for the mobile electronics industry as the first-ever vehicle infotainment system to feature a fully built-in iDatalink radio replacement module.

Firstech has served as one of the primary U.S. distributors for iDatalink Maestro since the brand’s inception. The Compustar 710HD builds on this partnership by embedding Maestro’s vehicle integration technology directly into the new receiver’s single DIN chassis.

Housing the Maestro module internally within the Compustar 710HD fundamentally changes the installation process. It eliminates the need for technicians to purchase, flash, and mount a separate outboard module, reducing bay time and freeing up limited physical space behind the dashboard. Because iDatalink Maestro T-harnesses plug directly into the back of the 710HD without additional adapters, the radio seamlessly retains factory features such as climate controls, steering wheel inputs, and OEM cameras across more than 5,000 compatible vehicles.

In addition to its integration capabilities, the Compustar 710HD features wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a 720p HD touchscreen, and a 13-band graphic equalizer equipped with time alignment and crossover controls. The receiver includes HDMI and auxiliary inputs to support external media devices, as well as a digital optical output for connecting an aftermarket amplifier or digital sound processor (DSP).

• Built-in iDatalink Maestro RR2 integration module

• 6.9-inch 720p HD touchscreen

“We’ve spent the past couple of years developing the Compustar 710HD, and we are excited to finally deliver it to our dealers,” shares Jason Kaminski, Managing Director of Firstech. “We wanted to give the industry something different – a radio with features customer want, a clean interface that’s easy to use, and built-in Maestro integration that takes up less space and simplifies installation. We’re proud of where this product landed and look forward to sharing this solution with our dealers.”
