i got an alpine deck installed in my car. now my keyless entry doesnt work. is there any way around that or am i just SOL? is there a way to still have keyless entry with the new deck or does it only work with oem parts?

 

there r 2 wires on the back of the radio that needs to be jumped 2gether i think its the white with green stripe.

 

so its still possible to have it? i guess ill just go back to best buy and make them do that tommorow...they should know how to right?

 

Might help if we knew what kind of car?

You have to keep the factory unit in the car, its a bitch. I have heard of removing the box from the factory unit, i just pushed mine into the dash.

Hope that helps.

*edit* damn, new info...LOL, i went back and read the post...(hey, its been in my favorites for 4 years)


The catalogs at local audio stores are sometimes wrong.
I have done this on my 96. Yes the factory keyless IS integrated into the radio. There are two plugs on the back, one is green. You can either get a Y-spitter harness for the radio, or actually, just a plug. The OEM radio needs the green plug plugged in, but the plug for the actual radio only needs the power and ground connected to power the keyless reciever. So you can actually just run a power wire and ground wire via two female spade connectors to the pins to the factory radio if you want.

 

wow thanks..i think im just going to end up buying a whole different alarm for it and use that instead..

 

 

i never heard of a factory radio controling the keyless entry on a civic check the battery of your remote. maybe the car lost the frecuency of the remote during the intalation. reprogram the remote to the car.

 

i went to honda today and they said that it was built into the back of the radio
