In that generation of Civic, the factory keyless remote system resides within the radio head unit. It is also common that the volume knob begins to fail after 15 years in service (my 96 Civic Hx radio knob is starting to go as well). However, although it is true that the keyless entry unit is housed within the head unit, it is not affected by the operation or lack of operation of the volume control knob. These are the steps I would take, in this order, to troubleshoot this problem.
1. The key may have become unprogrammed for some reason. To reprogram the key, follow these steps.
* Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position. * Press and continue to hold the Valet-Disarm button, a small inconspicuous button located on the radio head unit in-between the AM/FM and CD/TAPE buttons. * Wait for the door locks to cycle. This is notification that the remote entry system is now in reprogramming mode. Continue to hold the Valet-Disarm button. * Within 5 seconds of this notification, press either one of the LOCK or UNLOCK buttons on your remote. The door locks will once again cycle as notification of an accepted keyless entry code. Continue to hold the Valet-Disarm button. * If you have any other remotes, press the LOCK or UNLOCK buttons to program those as well. When you have reprogrammed all remotes, release the Valet-Disarm button to complete the process.
2. If reprogramming does not solve the problem, replace the batteries of the remotes. Instructions are on the back side of the remote. After replacing the batteries, follow the reprogramming steps again.
3. If your remote entry system is still unresponsive, the easiest step for most individuals would be to visit your local dealer for assistance. If possible, ask a technician to show you how the process is done. They may not charge you, and you will gain the know-how for possible future events.

There shouldn't be any correlation between the two because I have a 95 Civic EX with a remote start and mine works great and the volume knob does sometimes malfunction. Try to clean your deck or radio; it helps. With a remote start I'm guessing you live in a colder climate; that also has a slight effect on how your car functions overall. Hope I helped.

The factory keyless entry code can't be erased because you have to enter that code to make any changes to your personal code etc . The only way I can think of changing the factory code is to change the RAP module in the wheel jack storage compartment in your cargo area ( I'm not a mechanic / technician - just a guess )
