Do we lose keyless entry when installing an aftermarket head unit?

I tried searching first, and looked through a couple of pages, but nothing really answered my question.

I bought a Clarion ProAudio DXZ735MP from crutchfield..I just did the thing where it includes everything for my car (wire harness, dash kit, etc).

I remember with my previous civic, I had to hide the stock unit behind the dash, because I would lose my factory keyless entry if I disconnected the stock stereo. Will this happen with our cars...or is it not like that anymore for these new civics?

I guess that's the only question I have for now :D I'm not familiar with installing things like this.

Nope, everything still works on my car with an aftermarket deck.

You wont lose keyless entry. I belive that happens to 5th or 6th gen because brain for keyless entry is in stock head unit.
