I recently bought a '96 civic ex with keyless entry and I want to put a new deck in it. I did some searching and found directions on http://www.installdr.com. It says to keep the keyless entry system working I must leave the stock deck installed and hide it behind the dash. For this it says I need a reverse wiring harness that plugs back into the honda deck and a regular wiring harness to plug into the wires on the vehicle. I did some searching but could only find a regular wiring harness and not the reverse wiring harness. Where can I aquire such wiring kits? And is there a way to avoid leaving the factory deck installed as well?

 

The stock keyless entry isn't all that! You don't plan on getting an alarm? I removed the stock deck from my 98 Civic EX coupe and yes lost the keyless entry but i got a Clifford alarm. You also lose the dome light. But in order to save the domelight you just connect the light green/Black wire to the light green/red wire on the radio or securuty system harness i believe it's a green connector.
