Honda Car Forum

I have an '03 Civic EX coupe and want to change out the stereo for one with
an aux input for my Sirius receiver and the IPod I hope to get soon.
I believe some older Hondas had the remote door locks routed through the
stereo. is this also true for this model? I'd hate to screw up the remote
door locks.
Thanks for the help.

The dome light and keyless entry was only a concern for 96 - 98 Civics. If
you want RCA inputs, you might want to try a PIE adapter from
logjamelectronics. I have one plugged into my stock 02 civic head unit and
it works out great! I switch between my XM receiver and mp3 player. The
adapter turns your cd changer input to a set of plain vanilla RCA inputs.

I'll check it out -- thanks for the reply!

I have one too. The only drawback, and it's a major one, is that it doesn't
display the track info.
