What an easy install and cheap too...

Not that it really even needs pics, but here they are...

Remove the screw cover...


Zip tie the switch plug to the brace shown


Put in the RS door bezel


Then when you feel adventurous you can get one of these to control your locks...



[Edit] Spelling - sgT - yes I would... thanks!

 

wouldnt you say adventurous rather than advantageous?

 

Hmmmm I wonder if you could use the sunroof switch to control the antenna....

 

probably not
the antenna needs constant power to stay up, so unless you feel like holding the
moonroof switch.....

 

Damn I didn't even think of that...... Thanks

 

is that why when i shut off the radio my antenna goes down?

 

Am I missing something or does your Speedo indicate ~73mph?

 

HAHA I was wondering who was going to catch that. Yeah I was on my way to work thinkin' "hell, I should take a b4 shot of the switch and all", and I just so happened to have the camera ready in the Civic...good eye!

[edit] i was actually on the E-way when I was passing someone on the right hand side...

cant you also just disconnect the plug and put your normal bezel back.

 

Hmm... you wouldn't happen to have the instructions on how to hookup the door lock switch to the sun roof switch would ya?

 

that is a RS door handle bezel

 

Sure be up later tomorrow, check back...

Woopsee, who gives a crap...its a PLAIN door bezel...

 

Isn't the idea all about theft DETURANTS?

 

actually turtle those are RS door handles

 

he did say 'RS'

yshi - who suggests tommy get his eyes checked

 

If you want your antenna to go down, just get any aftermarket CD deck and it will only raise the antenna when you are listening to the radio...unline the stock Type R CD player that has it up any time that the radio is turned on.

 

My aftermarket stereo raises the antenna even when CDs are playing. One of these days I'll install a manual antenna switch.

 

Naaa got a fix for that too, check back for that one too Pics will be up tomorrow hehe

 

What is the advantage of this swap? You already have a switch in the ideal location.

 

what is the point of switching out the handle/bezel things? it slows down or stops some of the not as crafty thieves..

 

i looked at title then looked at pictures

 

same thing for me.

 

RS bezels and antenna/CEL switches rox0r...

 

Do you know how easy it is to break into a car with an alarm? At a mall/movie theater, all you need is thirty seconds and a coathanger.

1. Use coat hanger to pry into window, and reach/unlook doors (with most alarms, this will not cause the alarm to go off). No need to break glass, and no prints.

2. Open door, quickly pop engine hatch, and disconnect battery = no alarm.

This is an easy way to prevent a 30 second break in. Also no door locks in view (in an easy place to reach) = a stupid thief that will likely wonder "What else has been done..."

 

now all i gotta do is find a away to prevent it from unlocking manually.....a theif who is familiar with tegs will know were the manual unlock tab is on the inside door handle...then if he really wants to steal my car, hes gonna have to jump in and out of it ~dukes of hazards style~
