hi everyone! i just got an 02 honda civic dx 4dr and i wanted to change the head unit. my cousin is giving me his old head unit (am/fm/cd) from his 02 coupe. does anyone happen to know if a am/fm/cd head unit will work on my civic?

Your radio in your car is theft protected. If the battery is unhooked you have to put a code in it to get it to work again. You should have got the code with the car new.

/\ Agree but what about if your installing something in the engine bay and you have to disconnect battery i.e. CAI/SRI do you have to input code or only when installind headunits?

everytime u disconnect the battery for a minute or longer then u have to dial in the code on the stereo to get it to work. its a 5 digit code

not all, just the honda OEM headunits. not that many aftermarket headunits have that feature, except the high end ones.
