How to reset car for smog test?

I bought a 96 Honda civic ex 5speed with expired tags from a few years back and I'm trying to get it register in my name so I went and try to smog test the car but the guy said I have to drive it for at least 100miles to see if the ecu reset in order to be able to smog test it. Done over 1000+ miles and still the ecu won't reset and I couldn t smog it. Any solution or suggestions? I been driving and go try and smog once a week for the past 3 months and every time it gets hook up to smog… The guy says it's not ready just keep driving…

I want a subwoofer for my car but I don't want to mess with the battery and stuff. Is this possible?

I just bought a brand new honda civic hatchback (2017) and I want to add a subwoofer to the back. I've never done anything like this so i don't want to mess with that much stuff. I was wondering if there's like a subwoofer that I can attach to my phone with an aux splitter or Bluetooth. I know that subs take a lot of power so i'm wandering if a good one that I can just charge exists. Please let me know.

My car battery is either dying or dead every time I try to start it? Any

I have a 2005 Honda Civic Coupe, I love the car to death, and it is my first car. It is also a used car, I got it from a private owner earlier in October, and the car was working just fine just needed to be cleaned up a bit. However, now entering November every time I try to start the car the battery is either dying or dead. First my dad and I thought I might have left something on, but nothing was left on, and I'm very positive because I always check to see if my inside lights are on, if the headlights are on and such. So then we thought it was because I was not driving it as much and the battery got cold, but that doesn't make sense to me. True, I do not drive the car very often, I probably drive it once a week or a twice a week, but before we even purchased the car the owner and our mechanic said that the battery was good. I'm not sure how old the battery is, but I thought the battery should have been okay. My car doesn't have all those electronic features that newer cars have that would just drain the battery. My dad tried to charge the car with a car charger, but then it still didn't start. However, the dashboard lights, headlights, and radio lights were working though (but it was probably temporary). So I'm not sure what to do, my perfect car is now just sitting outside in the drive way and I have no idea how to bring it life again. Do you guys have any advice or any similar experiences?

Added (1). Another quick note about the battery, I'm not sure how old the battery is, but I would assume that the owner would have probably replaced the battery a few times in her life. I do not think it is a 12-year-old battery, batteries only last for a few years. But even the mechanics said that the battery that is currently in the car was good, so I do not know.

Not sure what kind of alarm is on my car?

I got a car as of yesterday (I'm financing, it's a 2014 Honda Civic LX sedan) and when I set up the car insurance, it asked if I have an active anti theft alarm or passive anti theft alarm. My boyfriend works at a used car dealership named carmax and he works with cars all the time. So I asked him what kind if alarm it has and he said active. And someone at his work said the same thing too. So that's the option I chose. About an hour later I was thinking about it and decided to see if that's actually the type of alarm it had, so I searched Google and couldn't really find anything. So I texted the sales guy who sold me the car and he told me it was passive. So I called the insurance policy and had them change it. But my boyfriend is absolutely insisting that it is active.

Is this Honda Civic a good deal?
