Installing aftermarket stereo in 2002 civic dx 1.7l
Hey guys, putting a new stereo in my civic, i noticed there's an anti theft light on the stock one. Is there anything i need to be concerned about when installing the aftermarket one? On my gmc sierra, a wire needed to go from the stereo to a fuse slot in order to power up and power off with the car being on and off. More so concerned with something going wrong with the anti theft and messing the car up. Let me know if i can just unplug the stereo and plug the new harness in and wire it up as normal. Also, will i need an antenna extention?Thanks.
**no subs, no amp, not into that ****, just a regular run of the mill usb/blue tooth stereo/radio same as i have in my truck.

Just wire it normally, the antitheft is for the radio itself, make sure you have the radio code written down if you ever plan to put it back in. Do Not hook up the orange illumination wire. Just heat shrink the end so it can't contact bare metal.

Red and red/black.
All you need to connect is white/red (battery), yellow/red (ignition), black (ground), and then the four speaker pairs. And obviously the separate antenna connector.
