I get a wired noise first thing in the morning as well on my 2004 EXL, but it happens when I'm applying light brake pressure, such as when backing out of the drieway or slowing down at the first few stop signs/lights. Its gone by the time I hit the highway and sound like a low creaking sound from the underbody, almost like the parking brake is engaged. Any thoughts?

We also have the same problem in our 2003 Pilot EX. Has the problem been found?

The moonroof doesn't cause additional noise if you keep it closed. When it is open, it does generate a little extra noise, primarily due to a gated type structure that moves upward at the front of the moonroof when it opens.
There should be no additional problems unless you don't get it closed all the way and it rains. My wife's car has moonroof and she never opens it due to allergies. As far as she is concerned it doesn't exist.
On the Pilot, there is not a lot of wind buffeting when the moonroof is open. It seems to draw air out rather than force it in. I enjoy mine.
OH! The is ONE ADDTIONAL PROBLEM. If you hair is a little thin in back, you may get a sunburn unless you use sunscreen!!  Only older folks have this problem.
Get the EX-L if you can, it is worth it with everything else it add besides the moonroof.

Too bad the default cd doesn't play mp3! How hard is that ?! So, I bought a Sony mp3 with AUX input for about $120 at circuitcity. They have so-called free installation, but they force you to buy the harness and the kit at around $55. I just wanted to change the CD and I want to keep the pocket below the CD. They said it was impossible without even looking at it. So, I searched "car audio" on yahoo and found a local store and let them just replaced the CD. After 20 minutes and $70, it was nicely done. $15 more than Circuit city, but I got what I wanted. Since Pilot is not very quiet, I didn't care about sound quality. Nontheless, the sound quality is about the same as the factory CD. There are a lot of cd mp3 decks with fancy interface. If you want to buy one, first, ask yourself if the brightness of the display bothers you when driving at night. The sony one is not too bright, and can be dimmed. If anything happends, I will just swap it with the factory cd should that be necessary. Good luck!

...in terms of front and rear legroom anyway, same numbers exactly. That is according to the newest Consumer Reports magazine.

I just had the second transmission failure on a 2005 Honda Pilot. The first happened within the first month and the second happend after 18 months and 50,000 miles. This appears to remain a Honda issue. The second failure occured when I came to a busy intersection at a stoplight, the car shook and then died...it would start, but when I put it in gear, it would die.

We just bought the '06 EX-L a few hours ago.
My biggest gripe - no way to play my MP3 player. It was almost a deal breaker for me (despite $7K incentives).
I figured we could work around it somehow.
It looks like you replaced the factory installed CD player with an outside CD/MP3 player. Does that new player work with the controls on the steering wheel & speaker system?
Are you missing anything that the factory installed player had?
Very curious about this.
Alternates - replace my Creative MP3 player with an iPod (which I don't want to do), use FM transmitter (which suck)...any other options I don't know about?
Thanks in advance. Trying not to have buyer's remorse!!
