I was told I have to keep this installed for the keyless entry to work? True or False?

 

true..but you can hide it under the dash with a t harness and it will still function with a new radio

 

well i already have a new headunit, and the stock cd player doesnt even work and i have the center console compartment replacement where the CD player is so i want to take it out and put the compartment where the cd player is

plus my keyless entry button doesn't even work, nor do i use it.. so i can just take out the cd player then right?

Yea, I have a question for you though. Does your domelight work when the door is open? If so then your headunit is party working, and you can maintain keyless entry if you get a new fob. If the dome light does not work than your radio tottaly took a **** on you.

 

yeah my dome light works put i keep it on the off position - and i shaved my antenna - so i only need a cd player and i just purchased a Sirius radio, so like i said - is it safe to take out my old radio & stock CD player put still have the keyless entry?

 

you HAVE to keep the stock radio in if you still would like you stock keyless entry to work. There is enough room like back in behind like where your your cup holder is. you might have to wedge it in like a tight spot but it'll fit.

 

LOL yeah friend car did that..he got it to work wit new deck..

 

this isnt even part of the OEM headunit.. its an option for when u buy the car... its just an AUX wire connecting it to the OEM headunit...

The years 96-98 civics used the factory radio for its keyless entry main unit. When you take out the OEM radio it wont work unless you buy the kit that allows the OEM radio to hide in the car somewhere.

i have that.. i just want to take out the optional CD player, thats all it is.. its just a standalone CD player

 

If you dont leave the oem radio in, your domelight will not work, and wont be able to use factory keyless entry.

 

lol oh man... No one is asking about the radio being removed!

You can take the aux unit out without any issues with keyless, its only if you remove the radio itself.
Go ahead and take it out
