The Eclipse ECL-SC1 is a SIRIUS Satellite Radio Interface that allows you to connect and control a compatible SIRIUS Satellite Radio tuner with a 2005 and up Satellite Radio Ready Eclipse head unit (Eclipse head units with E-Lan input are compatible). It also allows the display and control of SIRIUS channels from head unit.
Key Features:
The ECL-SC1 is compatible with 2005 and newer Eclipse head units that are designated as "SIRIUS-Ready" or "SAT-Ready".
For SIRIUS reception, you can connect the adapter to either of the following:
A compatible SIRIUS portable radio, like the Sportster, Starmate, Stratus, or Stiletto 1/2, together with a SiriusConnect vehicle kit.
Sends song text to the Eclipse stereo's display
Lets you browse SIRIUS channels by using your Eclipse stereo's controls
The ECL-SC1 interface has a pass-through jack that allows you to daisy-chain other E-Lan components, such as the IPC-106 iPod interface and/or the CH3083 CD changer.
I purchased the unit along with the SC-C1 and had them installed by a professional installer. It works very well with one exception. Sometimes, when you start the vehicle, the radio doesn't boot up. If you turn the vehicle off, turn the accessory switch on until the radio is playing and then start the car, it works fine. This doesn't always happen, but sometimes it does. I don't know if this is a product problem or an installer problem. That being said, I think it is a good value and a good unit.

Nice unit for a good price, plug and play, small enough to mount almost anywhere. Comes with antenna and everything you need, besides a Sirius subscription...
Receives SIRIUS Satellite Radio in your vehicle • Separate SIRIUS connect adapter and subscription to SIRIUS also required • Magnetic roof antenna and 21' cable included • Works with factory and aftermarket stereos • channel scan/search and presets
