No, it's not the original factory stereo. I bought the car at a Honda
dealer and they told me that they had to install a stereo because there
wasn't one in it when the previous owner traded it in. Also, I don't
have a keyless entry sytem on this.

Thanks, I'll check it out....either that or take it back to the dealer
to have them fix it.

I did find an adapter plug at this site but if I use the adapter plug,
will the radio no longer be connected? Or is it a separate plug that
needs modified? My Honda does not have the keyless entry.

Re: 98 Civic LX sedan - dome light problem
The document at http://www.installdr.com/InstallDocs/Honda/Civic.html
lists only two alternate pinouts for the main stereo connector (gray). I
included that link only because it details how to remove the stereo.
In addition to the main stereo connector, the factory stereo had two
smaller connectors (green) for the keyless entry / security system. The
instructions at http://ccs.exl.info/civic_radio.html refer to one of
these green connectors.

I'll have to give it a closer look. You know, I thought my car didn't
have the keyless entry only because they didn't tell me it did and I
didn't get any remote with it. The car was traded in without a radio and
Honda put a 3rd party radio/CD player in it. You would think that they
know about the dome light issue and would've fixed it when they
installed the radio. I'll have to check with them I guess.
