i know it has the keyless entry and there's a green plug just hanging for oem alarm i believe but if i buy the oem remote will i be able to just program it?

All US 1996-2000 Civics came without an alarm standard. OE alarms were an optional part for all US 6G Civics.

I don't know about that plug, but perhaps you could tell us where the plug is hanging, how many pins it is or even post a photo.

The OEM (original equipment manufacturer) alarm plug is located to the right of steering column. It is a green plug.


Thats the plug thats just hanging and isnt connected to anything, im wondering if that's where the stock alarm brain would be?

LOL. You just told NOFX what OEM stands for. Wow.

I think after the conversion it was moved to the driver door, along with keyless entry. I THINK.

Sorry, i just copied and pasted where the location is.

the keyless entry is there but that's all that i can see, i just want the factory alarm working until i get the money for a good alarm

Okay, a little more info...

Apparently for '99-'00 Civic models there's the following plugs for the security system. They are listed as being ALL under the left side of the dash.

C403 - 4-NAT - light flasher relay connector - optional
C416 - 6-NAT - security starter cut relay connector - optional
C447 - 22-GRN - security conrtol unit connector - optional
C448 - 2-GRY - security LED connector - optional
C450 - 3-GRY - valet switch connector - optional

Thanks, so would i just be able to get a remote and program it to my car to get the keyless entry to work?

Okay, let's go over this conversation.

You: "My 1999 EX has keyless entry.

My car has a green plug plug to the right of my steering column. The green plug has nothing plugged into it.

I think the plug is for the OE security system. The green plug has nothing plugged into it.

I think the security system brain plugs into this green plug. The green plug has nothing plugged into it.

If I just get a remote will I have a working OE security system?"

Me: "I don't know which plug you're talking about. How many pins does the plug have?

No US 1999 Civic came standard with the OE security system. It was an option.

Here are the locations for all plugs under the dash that have to do with the OE security system. (posts photo and key)"

You: "So (even though I don't confirm what plug I'm talking about, nor do I mention if I have anything plugged into ANY of the plugs in the image posed and I have zero idea on if I have the OE security system), if I get just a remote will I have a working security system?"



I am trying to help you. I really am.

Realize I do not have access to your car. I can't go out and look under your dash for you.

For starters, please check to see if you have anything plugged into the plugs in the image I posted and count the number of pins in the green connector you already found.

Your car probably does NOT have the OE security system. You DO need the brain in order for the OE security system to work.

If you buy a remote for a security system you do not have you will not be able to program the security system you don't have, which will leave you with a remote that does nothing and no working security system.
