96 Civic DX Stereo Security Code
I'm about to attempt an install of some equipment through my
CD-player/stereo that will add RCA aux inputs (you guessed it, to attach an iPod...) Before I disconnected battery power and the like, I wanted to check with anyone on the thread who knew if my stereo would need me to input a security code upon power-up. I haven't come across any 4 or 5 digit codes on pieces of paper or stickers inside the glove box, manual, door, ashtray, trunk, so I no longer have one if I ever did. I also don't have any blinking security alarm lights since it is a DX model, but I wanted to check here to see if there was still going to be a code I'd have to worry about before I attempt anything. Thanks for your assistance! -Dave |

Hey Clarence,
That's the exact audio adapter I've got -- well the Hon/AUX (pre-98 model) that is. Hmmm... so you didn't disconnect the battery and it still worked OK? I might give that a shot. Thanks! -Dave |

Thanks! > -Dave ----------------- You probably have no worries, since there's no SECURITY light on your radio (no CODE to loose), and as log as the radio is OFF, there's probably no power at that connector on the back of the radio.

My 2003 Civic does have the blinky, and a security code. There is a connector on the driver side of the back that remained in place. There is an empty 14 pin connector on the passenger side where I plugged in the widget. The ground wire needs to be attached. That might not be on an earlier model adapter. There was power applied to the radio. The blinky was blinking, and the CD eject still works with the ignition switch off. -- --- Clarence A Dold - Hidden Valley (Lake County) CA USA 38.8-122.5 |
