i have a 1999 honda civic EX 2-door. i recently had problems with my alarm ( prestige 986t,the alarm would not disable so i disconnected the brain) so i decided to take a look at it. i think i may have found the problem , i also found these items by the driver's side kickpanel. what are these items?

 

:dunno: looks like a tv tuner or something of the sort

 

looks like an battery backup for your alarm and a ripped rca. i'm not sure what the shiny box is, but it looks frikkin' huge. if you take off the tape on it and get a closer pic it might give use some more hints.

 

the black box is a rechargable battery, i have no idea what the silver box is

 

Why does the alarm have an rca jack connected to some silver box? Where did the other end of it go??

 

what was the audio setup like when you bought the car?

 

it was stock. cd player i think (i replaced it as soon as i got the car). i also found some lojack papers in the vehicle but i doubt that they would put any device where it can be easily found

 

is it in all civics or was it added afterwards?
