hey guys i just ordered the eclipse cd-7000 head unit and ipod interfase cable .... just wanted to see if anyone has this unit and what you think about it ... this will be my first experience with eclipse!

thanks

 

I just had the unit installed and let me tell you...it rocks!! If you only use the IPOD adaptor the install is easy. I have the adaptor, Sirius radio & CD changer. My adapter is still not working. Evidently the unit only has one aux input therefore requiring you to add a switch between the adapter and Siriusradio unit. The adaptor issue is going to be ficed next week. Good luck and enjoy!!!

 

awsum ... thanks ... i have an 05 gt zr so it came with the bose ... i think im going to have to buy some kind of adapter to use this unit with the stock bose system until i upgrade my speakers. Hopefully the shop i use to install stuff will have this in stock if i do need it.

i cant wait to get it so i can use my ipod and always have all my music with me!!!!!!

 

I have the avn 5500 and had the same problem with the ipod interface and sirus.

 

How did you get this resolved??? I have the ipod interface, CD changer and Sirus. Thanks!!!

 

To hookup an after market HU to the stock Bose speakers and amp, you need an AudioLink PD4 or similar LOC (line Output Converter) as part of the install. Here is the description on the AudioLink :

anyone have any experience with the AudioLink PD4? I am looking to upgrade my Bose HU but keeping the stock components.

 

I got one at home but never installed it. From the 03 Bose I went to an 05 Bose HU to add my iPod input, and I am happy so far with that.

I am again studying HUs, but I am looking for Nav etc...

 

Yeah I am looking to spend some $$ on a new double din HU with nav dvd mp3 a HD etc. Currently Looking into some of the Eclipse HU.

 

ok i got the 7000 installed with the ipod interface... now driving around i get alot of volume fluctuation! I have that speed sensor thing turned all the way down ... i think it may have somthing to do with using the factory bose amp and speaker anyone have any ideas on what this can be????? thanks for any help....

 

I wonder if the audio pilot is acting up. The audio pilot is the thing that raises and lowers your volume on your BOSE, but I think it talks to your AMP to do this. The BOSE HU 2004.5 forward has an option to turn it off.

At this point, since you installed the new HU already, what you can do is try the cheap solution, it is a 0.19c resistance you insert into the audio pilot microphone so that the volume stays put.

Here is the thread with the solution : https://my350z.com/forum/showthread....se+audio+pilot

If it IS the audio pilot doing it, this should solve it.

 

I use to really love Eclipse and had them in my previous three cars, but after looking at the new line, considering the cost, and feedback from those that carry and install them, I have since went to Alpine. I also liked the cost and functionality of the Alpine ipod adaptor much more than the Eclipse.
