Eclipse cd2000 car stereo

These units do not have a security code like some radios. Instead, they are coded using a CD. You insert a CD into the radio and it codes to that disc. You need that same CD if you ever want to unlock the player. If you don't have it, you are SOL. Eclipse is no longer in business and they were the only ones that could reset it. The system is known as "ESN Security".

ESN Security: This unit is equipped with the Eclipse Security Network. You can register a particular music CD as a "key" device which unlocks the security. If the registered CD is not detected, the navigation and audio functions will be disabled when the main unit is disconnected from and reconnected to the vehicle's battery.

The wiring diagrams are in this installation manual.

Unfortunately in newer vehicles, they sometimes need to have the computer re-flashed IF you unhook the battery with the radio on. It's a crummy deal. The dealership will probably have to re-flash the computer. You could try turning the stereo off, then disconnect the cables on the battery for a minute, then re-connect and POSSIBLY it could reset the system and it may work again. Don't get your hopes up, this may not fix it.

Hi

The stereo in the Eclipse can be removed with nothing more than a Phillips screwdriver

Disconnect the negative battery cable from your Eclipse's battery. Remove the two Phillips screws along the bottom of the radio/climate control trim panel. Lift up the bottom of the trim panel to unlock the lower retaining clips. Work your fingers around the sides of the panel to loosen the other clips and remove the panel. Remove the four Phillips screws holding the stereo in place. Slide the stereo out of the dashboard and disconnect the wiring harness and antenna cable from the back of the device.

I've been messing with the stereo and took the seats out to check the amp. I don't think I disconnected the negative cable on the battery and now the windows won't do anything and the top won't go up or down. What did I screw up?

No, the RCA jacks on the back of a CD2000 are line-out, not inputs.

You should be able to unlock it by unhooking the battery for 5-10 minutes.  When you hook it back up, it should ask you for the code again.  I am not sure about getting the code for you though.  On my Acura the code is on the trunk arm.  You might search there.

If you have an amplifier hooked up make sure that the correct blue wire on the harness is connected. One of the wires is the remote amp turn-on, the other is for a power antenna. That would be why your radio plays through your speakers, the power antenna wire' when the source is set to radio, sends a 12 volt signal. That would turn on your amp if thats the way that its hooked up.

Eclipses have a Anti Theft Feature on the Stereo.

Its a simple fix. Contact your local dealership and they can give it to you by looking up your cars VIN number. To enter the code (its 4 digits) you simply use the 1-4 programed station buttons to cycle the numbers. Once the code is displayed, hold the FM button and it should work. I recommend writing the code down somewhere, any time you leave the battery disconnected or get a jumpstart you'll likely have to reenter it.

As for your AC Compressor not working, I recommend checking the fuses.
