Have you considered getting a 1999-2000 dash and convert your 1996-1998 dash to it?

1999-2000 dash:

1996-1998 dash:

The 1999-2000 dash is a double din (pretty sure) while the 1996-1998 is a single. With the head unit you want to install it would need a double instead of the single you have.

^^ Brian857 is 100% right. You would have to switch to a 99-00 climate control set up. Here's mine with my Pioneer AVIC-F700BT.

There are some write ups/DIY guides on how to do the conversion. Search around, you'll find them.

^^ get a good grip with two hands and pull.

Don't thread jack holy civic. If you have a question, make a new thread. Please include if it is a stock system, and what year civic you have at the least so we can try and help you.

If you have a 96-98 stock radio you will need to take apart the dash to remove the radio since it is bolted on behind the dash.

http://www.installdr.com/InstallDocs...PDF/466013.pdf

Intalldr has great guides on radio removal. If you have keyless entry you will have to keep your stock radio in the car hooked up using a wire harness from crutchfield. Also I found out if you have power locks you can get keyless entry from buying a $30 remote on ebay and programming it, just keep your stock radio.

I placed my stock radio back in down by the cup holders.

Try looking in local junk yards for 1999-2000 civic's. It might be helpful to know how to pull the dash out before you go so the removal is easier. Try searching the forums for 96-98 to 99-00 dash swap.

I spent a LONG time rounding up all of this information off the internet. PLEASE use it.
