Eclipse Avn6000 - Rca Cables Needed - Reward Offered!

[Trav33]

I've brought an Eclipse AVN6000 from a Toyota Dealer, and have just learnt why it was cheaper than through an Eclipse dealer. It comes prepared for a factory installation into a Toyota, and does not include the cable in the box to enable RCA output. The cable has a square plug at one end, and two or three sets of RCA leads at the other end.

I haven't been able to source this cable from Toyota, Tonkins, Eclipse/Fujitsu Australia, no-one wants to help. I'm told there are no spare parts in Australia, and i'd need to buy one from someone who is not using theirs...

Can any one help? Willing to pay good cash for one, as its driving me crazy!

PS - i think the Eclipse Part number is 135140-33400700.

I wish it was... but no.

That is Aux *IN*... I need out. Thanx anyway.

[Howie]

bummer.. sorry i didn't read properly. spent the last ten minutes researching this, and couldn't find anything on google or caraudioaustralia.

How about a line-level out?

Thats my last option... but would much rather have RCA leads going directly into the amp... thanks for your time searching anyway

[Howie]

Any chance you can take a shot of the back part? Is it a proprietory plug?

Perhaps it's possible to make one up, couldn't imagine it'd be more that 4 wires per pair of pre-outs.

[Howie]

damn looks more complicated than i thought.

[Trav33]

My 6000 looks like this... i'm not even 100% sure what plug is the 4ch RCA output!

[Howie]

Looks like it's the blue one. Just doing a search on cardomain and the scion site.

[Howie]

Decided to call up Tonkins 08 82122550... and they reckon they can get spare parts for the AVN Eclipse. They said however that they need serial numbers and/or proof of purchase, because of the eclipse security network. I'd give them a shot again if you haven't already.

Thanks Howie,

I've been dealing with Tonkins Salisbury, the guy hasn't been heaps helpful. He said he's tried to get Reps to order parts, but only some are available,... etc etc... getting the run around.

I'll try the adelaide office later today.... maybe they are on the ball. cheers mate

[Howie]

No worries buddy, also see if George at Adelaide Pro Sound can be of any help to you. He's a regular on Car Audio Australia, and he's always more than happy to help skylinesaustralia members.

[Howie]

Just wondering mate.. how'd you go with finding the cable?

[Trav33]

Tonkins Adelaide were helpful! They sent a fax off to request the spare part from Eclipse, and said it'd probably be at no-charge... i'm still waiting to hear back from them tho, have made a couple of calls but i believe they are waiting for a response from Eclipse.

So fingers crossed, they'll have something for me in a week... Will let you know how i go!

[Howie]

Brilliant ! Hope it all works out bud. That's a very lovely deck you've got there.
