Eclipse Nav system "factory sub don't work"
 

Has anybody hooked up an Eclipse Navigation system and the factory sub not work at all. I have a 04 Super Crew with factory audiophile. Removed the head unit and installed my new Nav ( which totally kicks ass --- A MUST HAVE ITEM ) My factory sub doesn't work
HELP PLEASE
Thanks , Tracy

Which Eclipse unit do you have?

Avn 50 D

Check page #6 of your installation manual if you have a 5435...Square #5 shows what you're looking for...

Additionally, I received a 'pig tail' that converts the 'blue/white' wire (listed as CONTROL POWER SUPPLY for external amplifier), to another blue/white wire that crosses into COAX (white/red). From there, it's a simple plug and play into the audio out (oval C & oval D).

Long story short, the head unit isn't able to send a signal to the sub because the subwoofer signal is sent via the blue wire which isn't probably connected to the LINE OUT via RCA cable.

Well, I guess that post was generally useless eh?

The concept should be about the same though.... you still have to tell the amp to kick on so that it'll work. Check your installation manual to see how you can connect it... It should be activated via the blue/white wire in your factory harness.

AVN 50 is the same ( I am told ) as the 5500.... so it might work, Thanks I'll look into it

The sub wires are actually in a different plug than the regular speakers and power. Metra makes an adapter for it. Then you can hook up sub-out of your radio to contrl the factory sub. I have it that way and it sounds great.

Thanks so much............ that is what I was looking for, I was given the wrong plug

Don't forget to add a 1.5kohm resistor in line with the blue remote turn on. This will prevent turn on pop noise. Also the 50d I believe does not have sub volume control so the sub may overpower the rest of the system. Its an easy fix, just get a low pass filter with an input gain adjustment and that will take care of it. It will also make the factory sub sound better (less boomy) crossed over.

it has sub level control, 1,2,3,4, but no pre-out, i'm confused on this on mind....

do you have the Metra part number??

tlytle01, did you just get it off ebay, I got one also.....

You should have gotten a plug for the back of the radio w/front, rear and non fade(sub) outputs. Where did you get the eclipse?

they don't give that harrness with the AVN20D, 30D, 50D.. the harness you get is the same but without preouts...
got it off ebay, guy must have word for visteon, because thats where it shipped from...

I've got 25 30D's in stock and they all have the preout harness only the older 30D's didn't have it. I haven't got any 50D's in stock right now but I'll double check to make sure it has a preamp. Plus you said you had a sub level control is that on the info/settings screen along with wallpaper and guidetone.
