Not my 96 Civic.
I replaced the radio immediately after purchase and the alarm works fine.

What's cool is getting a couple of power actuator for the door, so that you
can get remote/power locks after installing aftermarket alarm.

Mine is a bare-bones DX Coupe.
The Stealer said that the car did not come with an alarm.
I was charged extra for air and the aftermarket M.A.T. alarm.

Isn't the price of a Honda Care extended warranty reimbursed if you don't
use it?

Some cars control other things through the OEM radio.
Even if that is not the case, most aftermarket radios are styled to
attract a lot of attention... from thieves.

Re: Extended Warranty - Worth It????
I would probably recommend against it. My 98 Civic had about $800 of
problems over the first $120k miles before I traded it in.
Most of the $800 was done at the exhorbitant dealer rates. I later
found a shop in Boston (assuming from your name that that's where you
are), that charges actual labor hours and not book hours, and they tend
to run at 30% of the total price that Honda dealers charge, while still
using factory parts. They were recommended by a few friends who used
them for years. So I'd figure that my $800 in repairs would end up
being $250. Their name is Hondaa King in Allston, by the way.
I'm guessing you went to Boch during the purchase? I just bought a car
there and in my experience they 1) had annoyingly pushy warranty people
and 2) kept messing up paperwork during my purchase. They were the
cheapest, but you just have to be rude with the warranty pushing people
and tell them to shut up.
