Hi everyone, are your remote FCC ID and radio FCC ID exactly the same
or are they almost the same but off by one digit? Can you be kind to
me plus anyone else that might have similar problem and tell us?



I bought a 97 Civic EX recently and the previous owner put in an
aftermarket radio/cd player. He give away or sold the Honda radio.

I have a little light on top of steering column (between steering
wheel and the instrument cluster). It never lights up. I assume that's
the alarm light for the honda alarm system. Is that correct or is
there some other alarm stuff going on here?

Now I have done some research and know I have to have the Honda radio
for the remote keyless to work. And I saw from older posts that the
radio and the remote must have matching FCC ID.

I have two remotes with the FCC ID: A269ZUA101

I am considering buying a radio with FCC ID: A269ZUA102

I looked up the FCC ID at http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid/ the remote
FCC ID was granted on 5/09/95 and the radio FCC ID was granted on
6/08/95. Both have lower range of 433.4 mhz and upper range of 434.4
mhz. I am thinking that these two should work based on the frequency.
The difference in FCC ID is just one is for the radio and the other is
for the remote. Can anyone confirm this ????


Oh, BTW, FCC.gov show alphine is the company that applied for the FCC
ID. So I guess Alphine does the radio for Honda, which means alphine
cd player would work with the Honda radio.

Also, it looks like my remote FCC ID is the same as a 1998 Accord LX
one and a 1999 Civic LX one. Just in case anyone is interested.

Thanks for reading the long post and probably some useless info.
Thanks for the help in advance. Once I get it figured out I will post
the result.
