i know this is probly a waste of time because i probly have to either send it in or throw it away but here goes.

does anybody know any other way to get around the esn feature on the cd players? a friend of mine bought a car at an auction and the cd player was in it, battery was replaced and now the cd player doesn't work so he gave it to me. a read on another forum that you can ground the two solder points on the bottom of the chassis and it will reset it but i tried that and it didn't work. i think the model is a 5431 or 5341 or something like that.

try calling eclipse. I don't think u can reset it on those models because they do require the correct cd to be put in.

Here is what will have to happen:
a-find an eclipse dealer (Circuit City)
b-have dealer contact Eclipse warranty dept.
c.-request an ESN change over form.
d- provide copys of bill of sale,your DL,etc-all that is required,etc
e.-submit all required paperwork,plus small sacrificed animal to Eclipse
f.-Once all conditions are met,Eclipse will unlock radio.

Its a great program...if you are the original purchaser. With decks basically being commodities now is it worth the paperwork? You decide.

 

looks like i'm the proud owner of a fishing weight that one time was a cd player

 

Hell yeah!! Boat Anchor FTW!!!

 

going to an Eclipse dealer won't do you much good. that deck is too old anyways. it has to be sent into eclipse to get it unlocked. there's no other way

 

I know how to unlock them now

 

how'd ya unlock it? i'm curious.. i work at CC but never had to worry about unlocking anything. one day i may have to tho. shead the wealth

ha ha ha I'm a CC Roadshop Installer as well, only thing I remembered if it was stolen or whatevers. The only key was a specific song on a specific cd.

True. But I figured out how to clear out the whole memory out of the saved ESN disk

 

You post the answer and I'll delete the thread.

Sounds good to me.

Sorry to anyone who wants to know how to do it.

Just look at the radio and think to yourself about how to "erase the memory" of the esn disk stored.

Good luck and let me know if you guys figured it out like I did .

 

Can you tell me how to unlock my eclipse head unit (5303r) since eclipse is out of business and I lost my key cd I would really like use my head unit again. Please let me know how you did it
