Ok so I've mentioned this in another thread about the Eclipse CD5030. I installed it last week and all is working. Even got the built in steering controls to work. It wasn't programming at first but found out how to retain the settings. So it's working... except when I first turn the stereo on the buttons on the faceplate doesn't respond. No guide tones.. nothing. But the volume dial works and the steering controls work.
It takes about 10 minutes for the radio to be on and then the buttons start to respond. But not with every press... seems like the radio slowly lets the buttons come back to life.. then every press, every button responds.
I took the radio out the other day to check the wiring. So I unhooked the Eclipse steering brown/black wire from the honda factory green/red wire. Turn the radio on and the buttons on the faceplate immediately responds like it's supposed to. Hooked the wires back up and back to no response.
A little info on my wiring. All connections are straight forward from metra to eclipse harness. As mentioned above the Eclipse steering brown/black wire is connected to the Honda green/red wire. The Honda steering ground brown wire is connected to the Honda black ground wire. The only thing different was that I snipped the eclipse ground terminal so that I can solder it to the metra ground.
I spliced three blue wires together. Metra - Blue/*********** antenna, Eclipse - blue Antenna power supply and the aftermarket antenna adapter blue wire.
Like I said everything works except for the faceplate button for the first 10 minutes. I have the steering control mode button programmed so atleast I can switch the source to my iphone and start listening to music when I first start the car.
I called Eclipse tech support and they have no idea why it's doing this. I can accept it if it's a compatibility issue. But if you guys have an suggestions to get this working that would great.
Thanks!
