Will a Honda remote work on my '01 Civic LX?

The dealer (stealer...) said that the LX doesn't come with a remote/keyless entry system... Most of the time the dealers tend to tell you whatever they feel like, and it's not always true. So I DO have power doors and windows. Can I buy a remote off of eBay and program it using the instructions I've seen floating around? Is there any way to tell if my Civic has the ability to respond to an OEM remote? I've been searching for ages now with no luck.

Thanks in advance!

my stock radio had the brains for the keyless entry but i have a 6th gen, so when i installed my new head unit I immediately lost the keyless entry.

Have you tried any place that sells alarms to see what they suggest?

From what I've read in previous posts, it sounds like in 2000 they moved the keyless entry controller away from the head-unit. The real question is whether there is a controller in my car that will respond to the remote. Yeah, I think your suggestion is a good one, maybe an aftermarket alarm shop would know. The trick is to get them to tell me the truth and not try and sell a $200 replacement system!

peace!

another option is, u could maybe get an alarm from ebay and then pay the installation or do it your self
