Putting in a DEI Viper alarm this weekend in my cousins car, never worked on one before...If its anything like all the other civics, should be pretty easy.

Never worked on the 2006 civic before so I was wondering if any of you had any ideas as to where to put the brain...

Also does anyone have any info on how to take the dash apart? Just in case I decide to put it somewhere up in the dash

Thx

There's tons of room under the driver's side dash against the kick panel ( up high ). No need to hide it under the center dash at all. The only thing that I found hard was the hood pin location and on the 2007's the firewall pass through was tough ( I don't like to drill into the firewall unless I absolutely need to ).

Factory hood pin. Lt. Blue (NEG)- it's in a large harness with grey tape on it coming UP from the kick infront of the fuse box.

key KTM, long time no see. i see you moved up the the Yukon ! hows the weather. if you do a system for your 06 civic take some pics and share.

hey Bchillin, make sure you test all your wires with a DMM. dont just connect to what the diagram tells you to. you dont want to smoke your cousins 06 civic.

key kartuneman, your in luck ! i met an old friend of mine that owns an 06 civic. I got under the dash and found an area suitable for a 4 gauge. Looking under the dash its on your right hand side towards the driver door. its hard to see so a flashlight helps. there is a fairly large grommet thats made of rubber. theres a thick taped up bundle of wires going through there. when you pierce the grommet, poke (looking underneath) to the right hand side because if you poke towards the left your going to pinch the wires going through. I noted that the wires lean towards the left in the engine bay so poking left of the grommet ( right looking up). Not sure if you drive stick or not. If you happen to own an automatic civic, directly behind the brake pedal, pull the carpet back and theres a empty grommet (prolly used for clutch wire on manuals) but this might be hard to fish out the wire. well good luck ! your a smart guy ! you could have found it without my help. what you planning to install ktm? navi, subs, amp(s)?

Great advice! You described the location perfect, basically rigtht in front of me right on top of the hood release under the dash
