I have been attempting the same thing with my vehicle. However due to their poor visual design many times junker cars are even missing the factory radio. The radio was up top and the cd player or cassette player is behind the cup holder.
I believe the 96-98 models do not need a security code. You would need to source a radio from a hx/lx/ex model which came with power locks. The rf unit is a separate assembly affixed atop the radio on the back side. So you're looking at $60 us for a used factory radio and $50 for an rf fob. At that price it's almost better to purchase an aftermarket keyless entry kit. The radio also has a Honda service sticker you can call and have them give you a security code
Majestic Honda is a great place for honda parts and more importantly wiring and part diagrams
