Keyless Entry

[Monis98]

Hello guys. I need some help. I just bought a stock radio for my civic, because I want the keyless entry and I hate the way the after market radio looks. I have a question, for those of you who had the keyless entry and removes the radio, did the radio come with something else on top? I was looking on ebay and noticed that someone was selling the keyless entry thing but no radio. I read all the forum and they all say that the keyless entry is the radio, but no mention on the other box. I also noticed there is a space for it. Just want to make sure. Also I got the honda cd changer but I can not find any info on it. If you guys have any info, I would love it. Thanks

As far as i know, for 96-98, all you need to have keyless entry is the radio and the remotes. and of course power locks.

I was looking at the pic from ebay and I noticed that the guy wrote to make sure of the connection because they are two. Now. The connection that it had is the same as the one that my radio has. Why would it be the same? Can it be that for some radios it is a add-on? I am sad now.

This is the website, I hope it is okay.
My radio has the same connection as that green one. And I was told when I bought it that I only have to have two connections the white one and the green one. Any help, helps a lot.

The only thing you need for keyless entry on a 96-98 Honda Civic is the factory radio that has the little black antenna on the back, and of course the remotes. That little area that has two screw holes is for an alarm module that bolts on. I am in the process of purchasing the alarm part right now. Should be fun...

My UK EK3 keyless entry thingie is on the roof by the rear-view mirror. i've changed my cd player twice and it hasn't affected my keyless powers!

you press the button and the doors open/lock

 

[airzi]

arh rite my understanding of keyless entry is you just walk upto the car and it opens knowing your present.

i call this remote central locking.

yeah it is remote central locking, but these are the yanks we're talkin to here, they say aloo-minum instead of aluminium, they refer to cars with a manual gearbox as having 'stick-shift', here we just know it as a car ;-)

is the little black antenna the one that's right above the green and white harness connectors?

What needs to be done to get the keyless entry working on my car after i get a hold of the radio + remotes? Would i only need to follow these steps for it to work?

absolutely fair comment

would a remote from a 1.6EL work?

All you need to do is give the factory radio power so that it turns on along with plugging in the green plug-in, and then follow the instructions and enjoy. You do not need the module that bolts into that empty space in the radio if you're just looking for keyless entry.

And I'm pretty sure that only 96-98 keyless remotes work with the 96-98 Civics. I could be wrong though...

Is there a How-To on powering the radio, without buying a full harness for it? the module that bolts into the empty space on the top of the radio is where the alarm portion is right?

How do i differentiate 96-98 remotes from others?

Sorry for all the stupid questions.

the module that goes on top of the radio is for the security system.
If you just want keyless entry you only need the radio like everybody else said.

So say i found a radio with the module for the security system attached on top. would the security portion be plug and play too? or is there other components to make it all work?
