You can likely register it with Eclipse, but when it comes to warranty work it may get sketchy.
The ONLY online AUTHORIZED retailers/sellers are Pacific Stereo and Crutchfield.
All the others that you see on ebay or anywhere else usually provide the warranty through themselves and they will contact eclipse because they purchased it from a local retailer and got a fat discount for buying 100 of them.
Watch this when you purchase stuff online.
JL Audio has a big write up on their site too about their products not being warranted if they weren't purchased from an authorized retailer.
They are an authorized Eclipse dealer just not for online. I have a full eclipse warranty card. Electronics usually mess up in the beginning anyway. So I'm not that worried about it.

Every box has a warranty card when shipped from Eclipse. I also read one of their auctions and it shows that they provide a 3 year warranty direct through them, so that's a good thing.
Not saying you got had. I'm just saying most ebay dealers are not licensed retailers for Eclipse.
I need to customize this unit and I cant find nothing on the web about how to customize the startup screen or wallpaper....... I emailed Eclipse and they said there is no way to do it........Anyone figure anything out how to do it?
Anyone able to help me??... I got the unti a couple months ago when it first came out and had it installed in my 05 DC tundra. A few problems I am having is... 1. My video playback from my iPOD does not work but I can hear the audio from the video. I am using the regular USB cable that comes with the iPOD tot he usb port. Do I need to buy that special iPOD adapter cable for the video to work?? my 4th gen 30GB iPOD worked with the video, but I just recently bought a new 5th Gen 120GB classic and it does not play video, just audio.
2. I have in my truck the JBL system from the factory. when the guy installed my unit and I started playing my music from my iPOD, i have noticed my music sounds like it is being compressed or sound is being limited or something to that fact. Like certain parts of songs get louder but my system seems to compress it so it does get loud and etc... any suggestions what may be wrong. my install guy used a harness to make the unit work with my existing JBL setup. Is it my JBL in th truck casuing this or the head unit?? Those are my 2 main problems that really bug me!
I hope I gave enough info on my problems... I hope I dont have a bad head unit. I am guessing its the JBL system doing the compression, and my ipod is set to off for that sound limit volume control thingy. I just may need to upgrade my entire system with a new amp right??

1) I thought you could only use the ipod cable for video. Mine will only work with it. Luckily they are pretty cheap!
2) Mine doesn't sound compressed like that. Mine doesn't have the JBL system though. I wonder if he used the wrong harness? Hope you get it figured out!

You absolutely MUST use the iPod cable from eclipse to play video from your iPod.
I have the JBL in my 08 and I used the Scosche adapter for the JBL stereo and it works fine.
I will say some of the songs on my iPod will sound quieter and louder depending on how I put them on iTunes. If it came from a CD then it sounds great. If I downloaded a crappy copy then it sounds crappy. You can also change the SVC level on the head unit which will increase the level for just the iPod mode.
If you are in iPod mode, press the AV button then touch 'sound" in purpe on the screen and you will see at the bottom left of the screen the "SVC" or "SCV", one of the two, I don't remember exactly, but you can adjust this + and it will adjust the output volume for just this mode.
The iPod cable may also completely remove this issue as well. Get that cable first and then try anything else. That's what i would do.
For those of you using the bluetooth successfully on the 726e, what type phone are you using and with what bluetooth software version/carrier? The manual shows the 726 is version 2.0. My current phone has version 1.2 and does not work. My wife's lg dare has 2.1 but I couldn't get it to sync.
Blackberry 8310 (Rogers wireless in Canada)
iPhone 3G (Rogers wireless in Canada)
both devices sync no problem. While setting up I had to search both directions . I can't remember which eventually work, but I recall it was the iPhone that gave a bit of problem.
some devices also use different passcodes - 0000 or 1234 etc, you should verify for your phones. I would think the versions are backward compatible.
Im using the Verizon Flipshot. SCH-U900. Mine works perfectly with this unit. Syncing address book was seamless, but only if you do not have any pictures attached to your contact. It will bomb out if you do.
Should be pretty standard with Bluetooth to Bluetooth. I just tried it and it worked. As long as you have the agreement between the unit and your phone, you should be able to push your address book to the unit.
