Hey guys I am new to the Honda world as I've just picked up a 99 Civic EX for my daily driver. I am going to be replacing the factory head unit with the head unit mentioned above and I need to know exactly what I need to make it work?

I was going to just go ahead and get the mounting kit and wiring harness from crutchfield but I am running into some problems.

I can not seem to find a mounting kit thats listed for the 99 Civic, everything I see is for a 96-98 and then the one they do have listed says its for the Civic but when you click on product details it doesnt include the car there. So Im not sure what to do about that.

Then onto the wiring harness. Ive been reading that if you install a aftermarket head unit into a 96-98 Civic the remote entry and dome light will no longer work unless you keep the factory head unit plugged in and powered behind the dash. Is this only on the 96-98 so my 99 would be fine or do I need to do the same thing?

Thanks in advance for any help.

 

The kit you need is different form the 96-98. It should be the same as a 94-97 accord. The harness you need it for the newer hondas, metra part number is 70-1721. As far as the dome light situation, this only applys to the 96-98 civics.
