Its really not bad at all. Just pop out the trim piece around the radio and disconnect the clock and hazard light connections. Then you will see two screws under the tape deck or pocket which you just loosen up and it should slide out if i remember correctly.

How do you pop off the trim piece?

you can use a screw driver to pry a corner of it out and go around it pulling it off. Just be careful not to scratch or dent the pieces around it, it should just pop out.

if you disconnect your factory HU, you will disable your alarm because it is run throught the HU.

How did u get the understanding that the alarm is connected to the stock stereo? Someone's been driving Civics too much.
The stock alarm and remote door release is located below the passenger seat.
You can make the headunit fit w/o a kit. But it takes more work. Looks alot better.

Well i had the CD and tape deck and the dealership took my pocket when we bought it and had them install the tape deck. We bought it new so that was like over three years ago and they arent going to give it back so i need to get a new one i guess.
