i have a 2000 civic lx. is there a way i can find out if it came with keyless entry, or if i can get a factory remote and get it to work?
thanks

i know that i have a 99 civic 4 door with the value package (basically an lx with a few added features) and mine came with the remote so its definately possible to buy it. In the process of buying an 00 si, i talked to the guy and he said that they have black boxes that you can buy that the remote works through (whether or not this is true idk). all i do know is that i also have a 96 civic ex that i had to splice the old radio back into the car with the new head unit becase thats how the 96-98's are... the 00's im not sure about... sorry i said all this and it didnt help....

thanks, i was just wondering if there is a site i can go and put in my vin and get the options that the car should have.

well if it didnt come with the car then its not gonna have anything that you can just program. i would assume that its a matter of installing something (black box) in order to get the keyless entry. Or, if you want, because i know that mine is only remote entry and no alarm, u could get an aftermarket alarm which will allow you to have an alarm and the keyless entry...

when i got my motor it had an aftermarket alarm installed with remote locking it was a meta alarm system. but at the time both key barrels where busted in so i got some body filler and filled the holes, sanded down and repainted them. keyless entry BUT!! YOUR F##KED IF YOUR BATTERY DIES AND CAR IS LOCKED! i had too crawl through the boot into the car! lol

Check whether you have the keyless control unit behind the driver's kick panel:

i found a white box part #38380-s04-a020 behind the drivers kick panel. is that for keyless?if so i should be able to get a remote and program it right? also i dont have a stock radio, do i need it?

Former User

Does the box look like the one in the diagram? Is it attached to an 18P connector? If so, buy a remote and you should be good to go. The stock radio is not necessary for 99-00 Civics.
