Eclipse AVN726E Installed

Just got my Eclipse AVN726 Installed

">Video at my other job

">For Security we mounted the iPC-709 in the Glove box. The installer Eric from Highline Audio in Denver also made it possible for me to disconnect the iPC cable and hook right into a USB giving me a dual USB function.

So far I am very impressed. made it possible for the back up camera tp appear in the display as well as on the mirror.

 

I have the same deck. Excellent HU...just wish I can customize my own wallpapers.

 

Yeah the wallpaper would be cool. The on screen DVD menu seems to challenge ne right now. Any suggestions?

 

I haven't really watched movies...I know there is a back or over page arrow that has more settings...

 

How did you do that? I'm interested as the small display in the mirror is very hard to use effectively.

 

good looking install, did the factory steering wheel controls work with this model without an adapter?

 

<---also wants to know

 

No adapter required on my 09. The wires from the HU can be spliced into the wheel control wires on the vehicle harness.

 

The installer spliced the factory rear camera and had it hooked in. The steering controls was only a three wire hook up.

 

I was able to change the startup screen on the HU to a Toyota image.

 

Looks good man

 

There is an adapter cable (made by Eclipse) that I bought locally that will allow you to splice into the back up camera wires.

 

sick looking HU. wish i could trade my AVN6620 with this one.

 

How? Care to pm me some steps? Thanks.

 

Looks good!

 

I'll also take the pm about it if you dont mind. Also can you just use the Toyota or any image?

 

I also have this unit but I'm finding problems with the Navigation. You can't enter addresses that are highways. EX: RT 80, US 206, Highway 10, Route 46, CR 517 etc. I live in Northern NJ and have been unable to use the navigation almost all the time because of this. I have my cheap Magellan mounted to the windshield which defeats the purpose. Eclipse is aware of the problem but I don't know if they intend to do something about it. In this model they switched to NAV2Go for the navigation and supposedly that is the issue. Could some one with another Eclipse model search for 263 Route 206 in Andover, NJ 07821 just to see if it works? I'm just curious.

When I'm on Route 206, the unit shows I'm on US 206. If I'm following directions, the unit will say " make left onto US 206. If you look in the points of interest for things along US 206, it show the addresses as US 206...But you can't enter a US 206 address. I was told you can only put in named roads. I hope they come out with a fix!!

 

Here is an email form Eclipse on hooking up the Steering wheel. I have an 09 and it works fine:


Thank you for contacting Eclipse;

John, You could hook it up straight and it will recognize it on the 20 pin Toyota plug pin 6 is going to be radio ground pin 7 going to be Brown/Black and pin 8 is going to be solid Brown.

Why don't you post it somewhere so others can do the same? I am also looking at the headunit the OP installed.

By the way, the install looks good.

 

I am trying to find the email that has the files needed to do this. Please standby.
