Radio removal in 2002 Honda Civic & Sony CD receiver installation Part-2

I have recently replaced the factory installed radio with Sony CD receiver in my car. I just thought it would be helpful for some one if he/she wanted to take off the factory installed radio from their cars. Overall, it was a very good learning experience.

ive heard that if you remove the factory stereo you might lose the keyless entry feature... anyone know if this is true?

[sreedharmanchu]

@ixninja680xi No. I don't think so. For me keyless entry is working fine. No problem at all. I can confidently say that at least for Honda 2002 Civic taking the factory installed stereo doesn't affect keyless entry. I'm not sure about other models. But I don't think it will affect any model. That's my feeling though. Hope it helps.

looks like you need some wire cutters and why would you use wire nuts

[sreedharmanchu]

@MrReefurcheefur Just thought it would be easier with the nuts in case I wanted to do something with the radio later. Luckily, until now I haven't had any problems like loose connections, etc. It's just personal choice.

thank you so much! it really helped me! but did u do the wiring your self or did u have some one els do it. it looks really confusing to me but please respond.

@ChuvalasTech2014 Hey sorry I took a while to respond. I got the wiring diagram for the receiver. It looks confusing but if you pay attention it's not that difficult to understand. More over the wires are color coded and it makes your life easy for sure. The only advice I could give you from my experience is that spend little bit time on it and I am sure that you will figure it out. Good luck.
