Have it hooked up to a 7002 wich I got both for only $800. plays crytsal clear and never got jammed on me. Theu did have a problem with most of the Eclipse players jamming on people but all the newer models work just fine. Looks great in the dash and hasn't skipped at all. Great little unit

Strength:

Looks cool, switches discs quickly and effortlessly. Simple interface, no problems interfacing with 4441 headunit.

Weakness:

Horrible reliability. My THIRD model of the 5962 locked up less than a week ago. The CD motor gets stuck somewhere, and it's happened once right after I'd just put in a CD, another time when I switched to another CD after I'd put one in. The unit made a clicking sound in the latter occasion and wouldn't access any CD.

The folks at Audio Connection are aware of the problems Eclipse's 5962 and in-dash tuner/cd changer have. I wasn't and will be switching brands immediately.

For the record, I had a 5961 that performed flawlessly (until it was stolen).

$600 is too much to pay for a constantly-breaking changer. Each time it has failed withing 3-5 months of installation. Each unit was brand new when installed. CDs that got stuck were prerecorded and CD-R.

To add insult to injury, Eclipse takes upwards of 5 months to return the six CDs stuck in the unit. I sent my 2nd unit to Eclipse in August; I have yet to have my CDs returned as of this writing (December).

I cannot in good conscience recommend this product.

Faster than the 5961 and looks better, but, again, less reliable.
