I have a 98 civic ex. after taking out my stock stereo it removed my keyless entry and my roof light wont turn on, unless i do it by hand. anyone know whats up with this or how to fix it. thanks

 

The keyless entry and security system could have been built into the OEM radio. I know some older hondas are like that

 

You are correct! Civics (usually just EXs) have their keyless brain attached to the radio. Those Civics only had a FM/AM radio (unless you had changer in the trunk), hence the extra space.

You can detach the keyless brain from the radio, and pick up a new Metra harness that has keyless integration. You then relocate the unit below the heater controls, behind the cig lighter.

 

alright and that plugs into my new stereo or...

 

i believe the metra harness has two plugs, one for the keyless, and one for the new stereo (and of course to one that plugs into the main plug)

 

Jezzzzz, so lost, got to go now but will get back to you soon. 94

 

The R/F section of the key-less entry is in the stock radio, there are two ways to go, one of these... http://www.scosche.com/scosche...HA07B and you mount the stock HU behind the console.

Or you can get one of these... http://www.scosche.com/scosche...HA03B and one of these... http://www.scosche.com/scosche...HA02B for the dome light and and stock radio harness, install an alarm and connect up the alarms door lock outputs to the cars power door lock module, or even just a key-less entry unit.

This will help... http://www.installdr.com/Insta...3.pdf 94

 

yeah i actually left the stock radio hooked up and shoved it behind the stereo when i did it but for some reason the keyless entry still wasnt working.

 

Does the stock HU have both powers and ground? 94
