I recently bought a 2000 civic and have a number of questions. I'm
wondering if there's a good source of info other than just pestering
people here with them all. Such as:

I want some source of battery power that doesn't go off with the key.
Is there any under the dash? In the trunk? Or do I have to find a way
thru the firewall?

I want to take the radio out and the center console to cut in my own
power outlets and see if the stereo has any way to feed in an external
source (mp3 player). How does the radio come out? Can the front half
of the center console come out without taking the whole back half out.
In other words what's the disassembly  sequence for this stuff?

Fasten to the roof of the trunk under the back dash is some
electronics box. What's that?

Any good sources of info to find this kind of info?

Thanks
