Default new Maestro Rr module waterproof box

...anyone fitted the new Maestro Rr module lately? comes with a waterproof enclosure now
but how in the hell did you get four groups of the connecting loom wires to exit that stupid pin-hole?

Gave up in the end and zip-lock bagged the module instead (as they clearly want you to keep it dry these days)

mate purchased a HDHU.14si, Maestro Rr through an international parts catalogue over here - Zodiac
also went with a set of Dakota Digital gauges MLX-8414. Got a great cyber monday price, so paid in pounds what you guys are paying in dollar (but without the import tax and duty we normal pay from the USA)

Module did not function out the box, so had to re-flash it! just would not turn the radio on until I re-flashed.

*I also note that v2.2 firmware STILL forces the Dakota MLX Gauges into Fahrenheit unit of temperature ONLY! ...and I didnt even have the HDHU.14si on at that stage.

I haven’t seen that case before but I’m curious! I put mine in a sandwhich baggie too but I think I’ll go to one of those reusable plastic sandwhich baggies next time I’m in the fairing.

that hole on the box does look TOO small.

yep, def to small! As you know you have 4 connectors worth of wires from the connecting loom.
One is on one side of the module and three on the other. You just cannot get them into that box, exit the pin hole AND close the lid all together

Zip lock sandwich bags for the win!

personally I have the fairing 'bat cape' to prevent water in my wing... so I've not had an issue with my un-bagged module since March
But as this new one shipped with one I figured they musta had complaints about water ingress and bagged up when installing in a mates Trike.


....in other news I've opened dialogue with Maestro support regarding firmware higher than v1.4 forcing Dakota MLX Gauges into Fahrenheit unit of temperature

Heath, I'd reckon you'll be just fine with the module in a baggie, unless you're scuba diva on the bike, it'll be just fine...
