anyone know how make the keyless entry work after you take out the stock head unit. I know it's got the keyless entry sensor in it.... but it's not like i can run a power cable b/c it has those stupid clips..?

You have to leave you stock radio in some how. Like slip it behind the console, or mount you radio somewhere else.

I mounted mine somewhere else.:yes:

Yeah you gotta put power, and back-up, along with that entire set of wires from the green connector that WAS connected to the stock unit back to the radio. I put mine under the seat which meant a ton of wire and lengthening and soldering but its out of the way and my keyless works. (I just did this recently). You can get a "Y" connector for your stereo that will power the new unit and the stock. Try Crutchfield.com , you can probably get one there for like $5.

go to Best Buy and get the harness. i replaced the stock radio before with an aftermarket one to keep the keyless entry. then when my aftermarket head unit face piece got stolen, i removed the head unit BUT kept the harness installed, my keyless entry still functions......just gotta have that harness.......peace:yes:

I had my stock head unit pushed back and the new head unit placed in front of it :) , keyless entry works fine. I know that sounds weird with 2 units in there, but iv had no problems. Go to best buy, they can do it for you.

I think instead of putting the old head unit behind the new one, it will be easier to just buy the harness. Good luck

no you have to have the old unit in in order for the keyless to work. Crazy honda people.
