you ll need a radio kit , wiring harness , and disassembly

1* metra kit # 99-7891 or scosche #HA1570B ( these are companies who make radio kits ) __ pic below__
2* wiring harness metra harness # 70-1720 __ pic below__

installation

1* you need to take the radio out - remove screws that are holding the driver bottom panel , also take the small coin holder out that's on the driver side there is a screw there
2* remove screws under the glove box , and then open glove box remove side tabs that prevent the glove box from falling when open , remove screws around and behind glove box
3* remove two screws that are under the center bezel the piece that's right below the radio that has the cigarette lighter attached to it ((( be careful when pulling of this piece because it sticks on each side )))
4* once you have removed 3 panels , look under the radio there should be either 2 8mm bolts or 2 Phillip screws behind the radio take them out and the radio will slip out

install wires to radio and install kit

DO you have a stock key less entry ? if you do there's going to be more wiring done

in older models i think that the keyless entry wiring is going into the head unit, so there are some things you have to take into account. try out this thread https://www.hondacivicforum.com/m_69127/tm.htm hopes this helps.

Yup...those few years where the factory secuity and keyless was in the factory radio....you needed the harnes adapter to "keep" the factory rqadio plugged in. Theres just enough room in the dash under the aftermarket radio...
