Eclipse CD2000

rader · 28th October 2006, 01:35 AM

My son wants to buy a used Eclipse CD2000. Price is right, but it is missing the harness. Can anybody privide a pin out, or manual, for this deck? Also, years ago I owned an Eclipse deck and it had a security feature where you had to install a certain CD to unlock it. Do they still use this method? (Yes, I know it was a long time ago when I had one of this brand.) Note: even with this "advance security" method mine still got riped off. So, there must be a method for cracking them if they are set with a certain CD security code.
All that said, any help will be appreciated.

Nobody knows anything about this unit? Help is appreciated.

I don't have a pin out for that particular unit, sorry.

Yes, they still use the ESN CD security feature. I think a detachable faceplate would be more useful in preventing them from getting stolen.

If it isn't too late, I would suggest a different unit. Eclipse's new equipment has lost some of their quality due to so much more production=less quality control.

That's all the advice I can give. Not much of an Eclipse fan.

Hope it helps

Even better, here is the harness for $7.50 shipped:

EDIT: My bad, I just realized I could have edited my previous post with this information, I apologize for double posting.

In addition, using the real harness will be MUCH better. On head units in particular, not having the factory harness can be a massive pain.

Thanks for the help. Went ahead and bought the unit. Figured for $29.00 I can't go too wrong. Also, bought the harness. Thanks for the heads-up.
