oem radio question...

[Miami_CG2]

I'm looking to buy a oem radio for my 2000 accord mainly for the reason that I wanna use my factory keyless entry and steering wheel volume control. I herd that removing the oem radio disables both these fearures. My car came with a oldschool pioneer.

Will any 98-02 accord radio plug and play? Dose the newer ones have better sound quality?

You do not need a OEM radio in order to use the factory keyless entry system.

You can buy a steering wheel audio control adapter for any aftermarket radio so that your can use the factory steering wheel volume control.

Yes, any in dash unit will. Not sure about trunk changers.

Dose the newer ones have better sound quality?

They're all the same.

Certain Civic's (I think only 96-98's) had the issue of needing the OEM radio in the car to keep the keyless working. Personally I would get a radio that you are happy with and use an aftermarket keyless system since they can be bought and installed for aroud $100.

the pac SWI-JACK works but if your installing it yourself, i would suggest the METRA ASWC

easy self/learning programming.

the PAC module can be confusing as hell to program for the average joe.
