Re: NAV wiring question

The "Hybrid" badge above the rear wheel. Is that real or digital? It is an OEM part, or one you had made? Just curious.

It's a real emblem, I think it was for a Mariner if I remember right(someone gave it to me)

Actually, what the Eclipse is identical to is some of the Lexus units.

The parent company of Eclipse is Fujitsu 10 & they are owned by Toyota/Lexus. We had an ES 300 Lexus where I work recently that had factory NAV(it was a $3900 option)& it was absolutely identical to my Eclipse 5500.

So based on what you say, is it safe to assume that the subwoofer signal
coming out of the radio is a line level signal (Low level). Or is it a speaker
level (High level)?
I've been looking at different options for upgrading the factory system, and would need to know this.
Thanks for any info!
