Need help with old Eclipse Deck

cmy330go

Hey guys. I've been out of the CA scene for years, so please excuse me for bringing up such an antique.:)

I have an old eclipse 5332 (10yo maybe) that I haven't used in years. The other day I came across it and thought maybe I would eBay it. Well being the genius that I am I didn't unlock it before removing it from that last car it was in. So I hooked it up to a power supply and grabbed the first 5 discs I thought might be the key. They all failed, so now the display says "HELP". Now I distinctly remember the manual saying that after the first 5 discs if you press a certain key combo it will give you 5 more attempts and then pop up an 800 number. Does anyone by any chance know what those keys are?

And secondly....If I can't get it in the next 5 attempts does anyone have any idea how much Eclipse will charge me to unlock it?

I know this is a long shot, but any help would be much appreciated.

EDIT: Added picture in case it would help.

Thanks
Dave

Give Eclipse a call, if anything they may be able to help you with a rolling code or something.

By the way, nice HU .

Haven't used it in at least 5 years. Just been sitting in a box doing nothing. Plus my current car has a factory NAV system with Mark Levinson, and I have to admit is sounds really good as is.

If I do get it unlocked I'll probably offer it up here first.

Thanks

They charged me $25 last year or the year before to unlock one.

Did you have to pay shipping both ways?

I'm just trying to determine if this thing is worth paying to unlock. I would sure hate for it to go to waste. It is in like new condition. I can hardly find any scratches on the chassis. I just can't imagine anyone would give very much for a HU this old.

if you get it unlocked ill buy it for about 100 dollers whats the wattage and specs on it?

Well I finally figured out how to get the 5 extra tries and I still didn't get it. I'll just have to give eclipse a call tomorrow. What really sucks is I think I just remembered what disc it was, and now I will never know if I was right. That's gonna drive me crazy:mad:!!!! Oh well, guess I'll have to live with it.

Thanks for the help guys. I'll let you know if I decide to sell it.:)

No only going, they paid for shipping back.

Well just talked to Eclipse. I have to pay $25 for the service plus $9 return shipping, and of course I have to pay for shipping it out.

This sucks!!!! I know it's my own fault, but it still sucks.:mad:

Can your local Eclipse dealer unlock it? I dont see why not. If theyre an authorized dealer they should be able to service it.

And that is a damn good looking deck. I wish they still made em that good looking, I may have bought one!
