Well lately its been getting worse and worse with the disc read error crap. I have to insert and remove the disc 340104102401 times before it will actually read it. Everything else seems to work fine. But my warranty is up how much am i looking at to get the lens replaced. Im usually pretty good with replacing stuff like that i used to work on ps2 and xboxes, and ive replaced a bunch of lenses in alpine headunits but when i opened up the 8454 just the top cover it looked way to complicated so i just wanna pay to get it fixed and get it over with. I already talked to "Dan" the only guy that seems to work as tech support for eclipse he told me to blow it out with the can of air that didnt help.

 

Try running a cleaning disk through it. The kind with the bristles.

 

been there done that a long time ago. Thx though pretty much the only way to fix it is to get it repaired.

 

That sucks man. Did you have Dan recommend any repair facilities? Or can Eclipse do it directly?

 

i think eclipse will do it but for like 180$ with only a 90 day warranty which is bs. I paid over 600$ for this damn radio when it came out. And it breaks right after the warranty is up so gay.

 

you can try unitedradio.com I believe thats the right website.

 

freemans in charlotte is good as well. Address is something like 215 lawton rd for a google search.

 

when i was working at a stereo shop, they used united radio alot and they seemed to be good about it.

 

They do great work, quick turnaround and theyre authorized for Eclipse.
