OEM Radio on Civic

Hi guys!

I've seen on previous topics people talking about
keyless entry and dome lights while refering to the OEM Radio
for the civic.

Can anyone please explain me what is about!
What do they mean by keyless entry.

thanks

Keyless entry. You are probably too young to remember the days when you
had to actually stick your key in the lock and twist it to unlock your
car. Keyless entry is simply having the little remote control on your
key chain that allows you to lock and unlock your car remotely.

The 1996 through 1998 Honda Civic had the receiver for the keyless entry
system built into the OEM stereo, so if you replaced the stereo with an
after market unit, the keyless entry system would stop working. The dome
light would also stop coming on when you open the doors, since the wire
from the door switches was routed through the stereo.

If you have a '96 - '98 Civic and want a new stereo, you do have
options. You can leave the old stereo connected and hide it behind the
dash, or you can buy an after market keyless entry system also.

In bad neighborhoods, 'keyless enty' is a baseball bat thru the side

Thanks Randolph for your answer.... I own a civic 1998 LX in Canada and mine
does not has the electric lock doors so I guess I'm ok.

Thanks once again.
