Does anyone know of a good source to buy a Honda OEM CD player for a 1996 Civic? It's the one that fits into the standard DIN sized slot above the cubholders.

I've looked around quite a bit and all I could find were these units for $200. I would be more than half my way to a nice Alpine MP3 compatible head unit with that money. I'm reluctant to install an aftermarket unit for fear of breaking the keyless entry system. Any pointers?

I would get aftermarket like you said. I have hidden the stock radio up in the dash, and mounted them under the seat and extended the wires. Either way your keyless entry will still work.

you can look on E-bay, or search junkyards to see if any of the cars have these units for cheap..

but if your paying $200 you might as well get an aftermarket head unit w/ more power, more features, cd capability, etc.....

you can get those "Y" splitter head unit harnesses and then you can hide your stock head unit under the dash while having the new unit installed in the upper console... your keyless will still work and you'll have your new unit up in the console... if you got an alarm w/ keyless it would offer some protection as well as give you keyless... but thats more money...
