Last night i installed a sony xplod head unit in place of the stock one in my 97 civic ex and now my keyless entry does not work . I think its the headunit causing this...does anyone know how to fix it?

searching would have told you that you need to have the oem deck powered up and still connected to the green harness

you need a special dual harness just for this purpose.
Put the stock deck behind the dash

Wire taps are your friend. Or like pdiggity said, get the splitter harness. Either way you're going to have to keep the stock deck in there. Wrap the ****** up in some rags and shove it behind your dash so it doesn't make any ratteling noise.

Alright thank you for the help. Now can you tell me where I can get the t harness?

you guys are silly... there's a better way to install the HU and retain OEM keyless without shoving the factory radio behind the dash



I just ran 4 wires (power, ground, dimmer, and ignition) to the factory radio from the main harness, which connects to my Clarion MP3 player... It still lights up and everything, keyless still retained, but no sound comes out of it....

All I did was use some terminal connectors in place of the whole PIN unit...

best buy/circuit city would have it too

I actually put mine under the passenger seat, because my stereo is in the lower din and the factory wouldnt fit then

lol.. why would you run the oem unit. Just run a relay. Thats why i did, works great. LOL.. leave your oem deck.. you guys should'nt touch cars.

youve been here since april and you already have 2000 posts? ***** much?

Cars and relays arent exactly the same things though.
Why not share what you did instead of being an ***?

actually, if you leave it like I have it (with the stock radio up top), it doesn't look like there's a system in the car, which means less break-in potencial....

but thats right, we shouldn't touch cars...

I wanted to move my head unit to the lower part of my console but I couldnt get the screws off of the old tape player. Oh well, weekend project for me.
