Honda Civic Accessories and Modifications
after two years of owning my 1999 civic ex i was beginning to get bored. last year i installed a bozooka tube. please bear in mind that if you splice the wires it will void your new car warranty. couple of months ago i installed an air horn system. again all work was done by me without splicing any wires. ask here or e-mail if interested in details

Personally, I saw no point in getting a connector/adapter to mate between the factory dash wiring connector and the Blaupunkt CD-Player. What for, since you have to splice somewhere - I made my own custom distribution-block. Besides, you're still out of warranty the moment you installed the aftermarket head (irrelevant of keeping the oem connector intact).
I did, however, disassemble the speaker connectors and hooked up the spade female terminals directly to the Pioneer Front-6.5s/Rear-6x9s. No splicing, but still voiding the warranty - again, installation of non-spec parts (even though the oem speakers are Pioneer).
Finally, when you plan and verify every connection with a multi-meter, then specific warranties are relative.
Thanks, Andy.
Anyone tried AEN cold air intake as a performance upgrade on 98/99 civic? Is it too noisy ? Does it worth the expense ?
Any comments will be appreciated
Just installed the Clarion DB225 AM/FM CD Player (with digital clock) in our 2002 Civic LX Sedan. Total price for the 50Wx4 player, including mounting kit and installation was $200.
The system is in a brushed aluminium color that blends perfectly with the other interior components of LX. The blue display is particularly impressive.

Your Civic comes with anti theft system. Why would you need extra alarm? Alarm not going to do anything just annoying people. Dealer installed is too $$$$.

Armrest. Anyone know how and where I can get an armrest for my Si?
Are the Honda mats really nice looking and are they worth getting as far as durability, etc.?
Greetings from sunny Miami
Are they pretty easy to install? I read in the installation instruction that Honda doesn't recommend the installation to the do-it-yourselfers...
Greetings from sunny miami.
I placed an order with Handa-accessories and am planning to install myself. I will report back with my experience....
The installation instruction for security system mentions "removeing the bold that secures the cruise control unit to the steering column bracket". I looked everywhere for 30 minutes before giving up on locating the cruise control unit. Since the cruise control unit itself is not involved except securing the security system unit, I found another location to secure the security system unit.
The manual for keyless entry system instructs "Remove the dashboard center lower cover by gently prying out the lower cover to release the six retaining clip". It looked to me, however, that won't be possible without either taking out entire center colsole from the dashboard or taking out the center console. I could figure out how to do either. So, I gave up.
Any insight on how to remove "the dashboard center lower cover" would be appreciated. By the way, it's the one with accessory socket and the optional flog light switch.
jp2002: although my car is 03 model, I'm guessing you are pretty much in same situation I was in. Your LX should be equpped with harness to hook keyless entry system into. You need to purchase "keyless entry system" and will cost you $120 from www.handa-accessorries.com
honda japan www.honda.com/jp has a center console with armrest for the CTR, it is about $120 if you can get someone to pick it up. i am investigating whether it will work with the floor consoles in the US civic si, as we are the only ones that get cupholders.
In order to install the power outlet to the right of the shifter you must splice into the wiring for the lower outlet since the wiring harness is different than the UK and Japan CTR. I decided I did not want to cut and splice so I am living with just the one power outlet. No one at EP has added the extra outlet yet TTBOMK.
Costco's Crosscountry (waterproof) front seat cover is less than $19.00 for a pair, I don't think they make any for rear seats.
Typical Civic LX doesn't come with Keyless entry, Keyless entry is standrad on EX.
Good luck!

Selection for 195/60/15 v-rated is very limited.
Looks like 205/55/15 is the choice.
What have you changed to?
1 - which changers will work with this unit? I've heard the Alpine CHM-600 would do the trick, but how about later models like the 620 or 630?
2 - out of curiosity... who makes the head units? Alpine? Blaupunkt?
Thank you!
