k guys, here's my situation. mind you, i've done tons of search, and got so many different answers, so i am more confused now. the jvc unit's (that i'm planning on installing) wiring that comes out of the unit does not have the blue power wire, and the scosche wiring harness does http://www.cardomain.com/item/SCOHA08B. what do i do about this, and also, will i loose my keyless entree (2001 ex) if i just do this swap, or i do i need this harness instead :

thank you.
ps. i know that the vehicle's power wire is GREEN/ YELLOW, but what good is it if my receiver harness does not have the power wire output. thank you!

You will not lose your keyless entry ( 96 thru 98 only ) and the blue lead only needs to be hooked up if you have an amplified window antenna. You can simply hook it up to the red lead on the stereo and the harness.

The '01 Civic is not weird in this respect. The HU is not integrated into any of the convenience features (dome lite, keyless entry, key buzzer, etc) of the car. I have the same car, and I pulled my OEM HU out just fine.
It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."

No, you missed my point.. If you don't see an antenna on the car that means there is one in the rear window and it is amplified so it needs power. You can remove the right rear "C" pillar and see the small amp there. Make sure the blue wire is powered or your reception will suffer.

i'll just splice it into my remote output (that's going to my amp), since the label on that blue/white wiring coming out of my radio says: " please connect this wire to the remote for the amplifier, equalizer end/or auto antenna. my concern was if it's a safe thing to do, but i don't see why not.

Wire nuts, avoid like the plague. Crimp caps or butt connectors are cheap, sturdy and easy.
