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.

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)

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
