Eclipse AVN5435

Hello all!!  Just had my AVN5435 installed in my 2001 Oldsmobile Aurora with the back up camara and the Sirius sattelite antenna.  Although I love all of my new toys, for some reason my AVN5435 is making a weird sound even when no discs are in any of the drives.  It sounds like something is working really hard on the inside of the unit.

Does anyone have this same problem?  If so, what is it and what did you do about it. 

Other than that everything works great..........

In addition to the above.... my chimes are real loud and sometimes my chimes stay on when they shouldn't be!!  Any thoughts on what this could be?

Anyone who has had a AVN5435 installed that is having any types of problems.... I would like to know about them! 

Come on now...... there has to be someone out there that has an AVN5435? 

UPDATE: The noise coming from the head unit has gone away........ I'm still a little curious though as to what it could be.   I have a feeling this noise will come-and-go.

The Navigation disc is not loaded nor is any CD.  The noise does come and go, so I'm thinking about going back to the installer and getting a new one.  Eclipse says its not a normal characteristic. 

I am running a factory Bose Amp so that is probably why my chimes are real loud!!  I can almost live with it too. 

Do you have any problems with chimes.... Example: If you start your car with the door open (the chimes will go on).... then close the door....  (the chimes will stay on). 

What about when you turn your car off........... does the AVN stay on?  Mine should stay on while the car is off only until I open the door.  But sometimes when I open the door the AVN stays on.  It's a pain in the ass!!

Where did you mount your Navigation transmitter?

QUESTION:

I am unable to get titles to display on my new AVN5435.  This is for AM/FM radio stations, also no station call letters.  I know this info is available from my previous radio.  Also CDs from the in-dash player and the CD changer do not display title info. Oddly, the title info does display for MP3s and Sirius. There is a TITLE button on each of these screens, but when pushed, the only thing displayed is a screen with captions indicating where this info should be.  Anyone else experieince this and have you found an answer?

ANSWER:

Funny thing you should ask this question.  I've been wondering the same thing!!!  I was reading up in all 3 manuels because I could of sworn it said something along the lines of, WMA files and CD's could display text.  Did you read anything like that?  All I can get is the MP3 and Sirius to display text too. 

I sent the following E-mail to Eclispe...

I rencently had an AVN-5435 installed in my Corvette.  I have some questions which my dealer was unable to answer...

 

I don't believe the response about the doc error.  That doesn't explain why the screen has a "TITLE" button and when you push it you get another screen with nothing but captions and empty space where the info should be.

 

 

Oddly I have a similar noise, sounds like a relay opening and closing, but mine seems to be coming from the CD changer behind the pass. seat.  Also my CD drive in the main unit was DOA, so I had to have the unit replaced the next day.  New unit works great.

My chimes are very loud also, dealer says there is no volume adjustment.  Also all the beeps and chimes sound different but I will get used to them.  I also have the Bose system.

My chimes will sound when I start the car with the door open, but I discovered it is because I have not fastened the seat belt.  If I fasten the belt before I start the car there is no chime.

I do not have any issues with the unit turning off.  It continues to play until I open the door unless I stay in the car too long.  This is working exactly like the factory radio.

By DOA, I mean nothing worked in the CD drive.  It would draw the disk in and then displayed a message to check the CD.  I tried this with regular CDs as well as MP3s.

I get title info for MP3s but not regular CDs. I know the CDs contain title info because my old unit displayed the title info.

My CD and DVD drives seem to be about the same speed when loading and ejecting.  I know the DVD goes though a software initialization when you load the Nav DVD, maybe this is why it seems slower.

The one thing I really hate is that I must "AGREE" to the lame warning screen each time I power up the Navigation. Talk about CYA.
