This is what I was told when I picked up my install kit for my 96 ex sedan.

 

I'm going to assume you're referring to the factory stereo. And yes, from what I've heard, the factory keyless entry is in the stereo. You can either hide the factory stereo in the dash or if you're feeling plucky try to remove the keyless entry section of the stereo and leave that in the dash, that way you can remove the rest of the stereo. Of course if you do this, you'll have a hell of a time reprogramming the keyless entry if you get a new remote or if the the thing just happens to reset itself (happened to me once).

 

^ what he said, youll be fine.

 

I don't know if this is just something with the older gens but I took out my h/u and had no problem with the keyless entry, didn't keep anything from the stock h/u.

 

yes Chimera it is only on the 6th gen civics. Honda realized it was a stupid idea so on the 7th gen's they stopped doing it. I put a head unit in my ex's 04 and had no problems.

 

i say rip it out and go keyless entryless like me

 

I think its just 96-98 civics. I or anybody I know didnt have any problems with a new h/u in the 99-00's

 

I just installed a new stereo . (it already had an aftermarket) but there was nothing extra hooked up to the old harness .. so im guessing they fixed for the 99-00's.

 

99-00 are fine, just 96-98

What I did, way back when I had my 98 was get Y harness thing for it and stuff the whole thing back up in there.

 

ARE YOU ****ING KIDDING ME?!?! I've been putting off buying a h/u for so long because i thought my civic was affected by this nonsense. You're saying i can put in an aftermarket h/u into my '99 with no problems?!?
