My initial comments on the Eclipse 5961 changer & 4421 radio that was
installed on Saturday:

Overall I'm very happy with the units. The all black looks very good
with the black interior (I have the base model). The radio face is a
little hard to read in strong light, but very easy to read in the dark.
The changer is great. Very easy to use. A nice feature is that it
remembers exactly where it was when I turned the car off, and starts
playing at that spot! It comes with the security coding using a CD,
but I haven't tried that yet since they have some issues to fix
with the install.

The installer apparently forgot the antenna power connection (obviously he
didn't even make sure the AM radio worked after installing!), and had blown
the fuse for the instrument lights (ok, maybe that wasn't obvious until
dark) which I had to replace myself! I can't go back to have them
fix things until Wed morning (they could do it tomorrow but I can't get
there). After they charged $100 ($50/unit), I am a little disappointed.

I also noticed a strange noise under the hood when I have the key in
"power to accessories" position (is that position 2?). Standing outside,
I hear something that sounds like a small motor running, which I don't
think was there with the old radio...but then, I may not have noticed
this before....since I have to be outside of the car.

Can anyone verify if this is normal? Thanks!
