Hello !
Hope you guys can help me with this !
I have a really strange problem with my original radio !
Since i bought my Civic LX-G 2001, i have the same problem. It happens like
once a month ... approximately ! Not quite fun ! Ok, i explain: My radio is
still working without my keys in the ignition switch !!! I tried everything
and finally, the only thing that worked to stop the radio was to unplugged
the negative pole on the batterie !! I know this is weird. After every
incident, it seems to be good for an another month. When i put back the
pole on the batterie, the radio seems back to normal. The radio ask my
radio code so ... it's working normally after that incident !
Is that problem happened to one of you ? Today, it happened again and i did
the same thing as usual (unplugged the car batterie) and now, another
problem happenned: the radio is not responsding at all. After plugging back
the negative wired on the the batterie, i started the car and then ... the
radio didn't ask me what it supposed (code, clock and everything else). I'm
scared that my radio is now dead !!!
Please, can anyone tell me what to do with this, i'm really exhausted about
it !
Thanks a lot for all your help !!!

That is strange. Well I can't tell you your problem but I can tell you your
radio has two power sources, a constant and an ignition. You can try
pulling it out of the dash and checking the wires to see if your plugs
still good. If it wont work at all now first check to see if the fuse under
the dash is blown if not check and see with a test light if you've got
power on your constant all the time and ignition only with the key on(or
acc).
I've got a 2000 Integra and have had many systems in it but have never had
a problem like yours. But stereo wiring is the only electrical i'm good at.

Ignore this reply, I accidentally tried to repost it and can't figure out
how to just delete it.

thank you very much for your advice ! i alredy check the fuse of the radio
and it looked fine so ... I'm thinking of replacing the radio with a new
one ... the radio didn't work since the final incident ... so let me tell
you this is so boring to be in your car without music ! I'll ask the radio
installer if he could check all the wires, maybe it's only the radio that
is defect ! well ... i hope so and it should be ! Thanks again for all your
help ! Really appreciated ! :)

I hear ya. It seems of all my friends I'm the only one with a good stereo.
So they ALWAYS want to take my car. Which I don't mind driving but when you
put 4 overweight rednecks in a 2dr Integra it looks somewhat like a clown
car. Along with the 5 minute process of people trying to get in and out
it's hell on my suspension.
