Does the keyless remote work through the stock radio on the 99 civic lx? because i replaced the radio and i want to know if i can still get a remote for my car...

 

help, anyone? i'm sure you all know this. please?

 

I have a 97 and on mine the Keyless entry is tied in to the stock stereo. I've read here that if you replace your stock radio you should leave the stock unit hidden under the dash and connect it with a "Y" adapter to the new unit.

I bought my Civic with the aftermarket stereo already installed so I am screwed unless I go with an aftermarket keyless entry.

 

I have a 96 EX coupe and I just installed a new H/U myself. I had to keep the stock radio in the car for the keyless to work. Not sure about your year. I know that after a certain year, you didn't need the stock radio to keep the keyless feature.

 

thanks, gives me an idea. but does anyone know what year that they changed it from the radio? probably not the 99 because 96-00 is pretty much the same. just wondering if anyone knows...

 

nope... 99 still works

when i got my 99 it already had a aftermarket radio and keyless entry. it worked fine!
i even added another keyless entry remote control. and swaped the radio also..... stock radio isnt back thier
[8D]

if ya need a extra remote i got one ill sell i added a new alarm system and realy only need one as a backup...

 

thanks, i just got my remote in and looked up on the honda accessory site that the 97-01 lx has a seperate keyless entry that doesn't go through the radio system. i got my remote, programmed it, and it worked. thanks!
