my brother told me that if i take out the factory radio in a 99 Civic the overhead light won't work anymore. True? I'd like an mp3 compatible cd changer (play mp3 CDs)

Also what would you recommend for a dash cd receiver. Basically I would like to have an AUX input for possible expansion in the back and a couple of preouts. I won't have a sub (maybe ever) or amps for a while but would like to have it just in case. A remote that clips onto the steering wheel would be nice but i'd like a multiple band EQ more than that. MP3 compatible, don't care about sat radio already had it and didn't use it. I know its standard on some that you can buy an additional box for radio if I want to anyway (when they say "ready").

Thanks

nigger what. i got no radio in my 97. light works perfect.

how old is your brother. and what does he know about Honda power?

He has the same car as me thats why. Maybe he just has an electrical issue?

well perhaps the factory keyless entry

mine is a DX. basic as hell shit. i have a CD player in there, now ive got nothing and it works.

my GF has the factory keyless entry. but radio is stock.

perhaps ill do some tinkering. sounds interesting

actually, come to think of it. SandSantahad a green civic. not sure what year, but he pushed his stock CD player back to make room for his aftermarket one.

perhaps it had something to do with this. i forgot though.

PM him

according to that article that is why. However it says up to 1998 just wondering if it applies to a 1999. I'll wait for more people to see this thread before continuing (or I'll ask at whatever store I get a deck from)

I have keyless and everything- got to decide b/w nice stereo and that if it does affect a 99 model

people with the 99-00 Si have the same problem, just do what baonest said and drop the stock deck back into the dash
