Not if you like the OEM look. I hate the way all aftermarket stereos look. Get an iPod and have the iTrip adapater. Problem solved.

i payed $80 to get mine, but there should be a number on the back of the radio, some sort of vin number, honda will give you the code if you provide a legit vin number matching the car.

They charged me about $50 for it. And I had my radio in the car when I brought it to them. Looks like every dealership is different than.

I've always 'heard' this but never have seen it put into action.

My original head unit still worked perfectly when I sold my car this past November. Car was built in September '99.

I've had my OEM 1992-1995 tape deck (yeah, I know) since I bought the car about 3 years ago. Obviously the unit is coming on 13 years old and still works fine. Right now, I have an ITR radio in my EJ1 and that one works fine too.

Re: radio trouble on 2000 civic...help (Targa250R)
i took the radio out of my dash and brough it to Honda and they gave me the code for free. I brought it to them once with the radio in the dash, they wanted 50 because they had to take the radio out of my dash to get a number under the radio that they need to pull up the code
