Avn5435

I installed the Eclipse camera today. I painted it with AutoZone Gunmetal Gray. I did not inset it since someday I will trade in the truck and I all ways put back the stock radio. The color is close but it is not as blue.

I have found a minor problem with the back up camera. It was raining today (rare in Southern Calif) and it looked like I was backing up in New Orleans! It really needs a tiny wiper.

Eclipse NAV and Steering Wheel Controls?

You mentioned that the Eclipse AVN-5435 is compatible with steering wheel controls. Does that mean it was plug and play when you installed it? Or do you need the third party box to make it adapt? I am about to purchase an 06 Runner and am toying between the stock NAV upgrade or the AVN-5435.

It is plug and play. There is no 3rd party hardware to install. You will be very pleased with the AVN5435.
 
From my research before I got my Pioneer AVIC-N2, the 5435 is only Sirius compatible, and iPod integration is done with a third party solution.

The best thing about the 5435 is the easy integration into the 4Runner and it looks great/factory.
 
The Eclipse has an additional audio-video input. I use that input for a XM Commander but it could be used for any audio input such as an iPod. It would not control it, however.
 
Yeah...that's the limitation, only one external input.

With the AVIC, you have seperate connections for XM and the iPod, both controllable from the headunit.

In addition, the AVIC is dual-zone capable, the 5435 is not. This means the kids in the back can be watching a video with headphones while the driver can be listening to audio.

The AVICs just do not look as well cosmetically as the 5435...but they are much more capable.

Thanks!

Form Vs Function........ Decisions, decisions.......... :D
 
I am using the main (large) connector only. In my limited listening it worked fine. Since I have Sirius and XM, I never never listen to FM!

Once you have convinced yourself to pay for satellite radio there is no turning back.

Change of subject, I did not realize the OEM Nav had no menu option to turn on the camera. It is really nice to be able to turn on the camera while parked on the freeway to insure that the idiot behind you does not run into your truck.

Thanks Glenn
I cant wait to get this unit installed. Could you explain a little more about this "menu option?"
 
If you have the rear view camera BEC104 installed it comes on automatically when you back up. You can also go into the menus and turn it on at any time.

This is handy in stop and go traffic. If you think the guy behind you is getting too close you flash your lights to get his attention.
 
Since Sirius Satellite Radio has been discussed lately, Here is the Eclipse Sirius screens.

Here are more photos of the Eclipse screens. They would be better if I could find my tripod.
