#254 of 1052 ahaymd Aftermarket navi by terumi1 Jan 08, 2004 (9:28 am)
I bought the Honda with the Navi system because I was told (correctly) by the dealer that getting the navi from the factory was the only way to in-dash install a navi sytem in a Honda Pilot. There is no room on the radio stack to put one, unless installed at the factory. Or it won't look right. Or something.   The navi, if you wanted it to look factory, could only be purchased from the factory.   So, that leaves a dash mounted navi system. My parents have one that cost 1200.00. They seem to like it just fine. And as you said, its portable, so they have the advantage of taking it out and using it elsewhere. Software updates are available every few years no problem. Update as often as you want....although it costs each time.   I think they have a Garmen. Or Garmin. Best Buy sells them.   You can install and aftermarket dvd player and have it look factory. But you cant the other way around. And that is why people buy the navi and do the aftermarket dvd...if you wanted both, that is.   So take a look at the portables. If you want to know features, I always go to the top of the line a company offers, and see what the top of the line has in features. Then work backwards from there to lower models until I have a working knowledge of what is good/worthy upgrades and what is bs.   Good luck!
#255 of 1052 aux input for ipod by dlake1963 Jan 09, 2004 (9:49 pm)
qbrozen: in message #173, you stated, "unfortunately, no aux input and no stereo options on the Pilot. The LX comes with a certain setup and the EX comes with a slightly different setup (although same head unit, I believe). That's it."   If this is true, how do CD changers for the pilot gain access to the stereo console unit? there must be some sort of input for an optional CD changer, no?
#256 of 1052 dlake 1963 Aux Audio Input by terumi1 Jan 10, 2004 (7:19 am)
I put in an aftermarket dvd player in my Pilot 2004 EX. Instead of using an FM modulator, utilizing an FM radio station to listen to DVD's, I was told by the dvd installer to invest in an Aux Audio Adapter cable. Plugs into the back of the cd player. Gives you cd quality sound when listening to DVD's. Instead of listening to dvd's with a radio signal quality sound.   And it does in fact give me that cd quality sound. It's equivalent to having a stereo and hooking up separate components.   And yes, you listen to the DVD's by using the chng button on the cd/chnger button on the EX.   So there is an input on the back of the radios on the EX.   Now if I can just get rid of the ignition hummmmm.
#257 of 1052 Net with 04 Pilot by rdelaney1 Jan 12, 2004 (5:53 pm)
My 04 Pilot also has this "separation net". I cant for the life of me figure out what I'm supposed to do with this thing. It is not a pouch like the one with my Odyssey and I can't seem to make it fit anywhere.   HELP?
#258 of 1052 Terumi... by sysadmin1 Jan 12, 2004 (9:34 pm)
Any word on the ignition hum? My stuff came in today and I'll set up the install tomorrow. Just curious if you nixed it yet...
#259 of 1052 rdelaney by qbrozen Jan 13, 2004 (4:55 am)
are you calling it a separation net or is that what you read or is that what you were told? I think of a separation net as something to keep animals in the back of the vehicle. The do offer that for the Pilot as an additional accessory.   I would think the '04 is the same, but the one that came with our '03 Pilot is a small cargo net. Its to keep small items from banging around in the back. There are 4 attachement points all on the floor in the very back of the vehicle near the tailgate. So, when the 4 hooks of the net are attached to the 4 tie-downs in the truck, the net is flat on the floor. You can stick things under it and it will hold them in place.
#260 of 1052 Aftermarket DVD by sjwsmw Jan 13, 2004 (10:09 am)
I noticed that they have a unit at Costco with a 10" screen. The unit seems contained as well.   Anyone have any experience with it?
#261 of 1052 stereo removal on 04 pilot by dlake1963 Jan 13, 2004 (10:20 am)
Anyone know how to remove the stereo/tape/single cd player dash unit on an 04 Pilot EX-L? I can even find any screws. They must be under the faceplate, but I can't seem to get an edge to pry the faceplate off.

You are a brave man!
#263 of 1052 sysadmin1 Humm Jobs by terumi1 Jan 13, 2004 (9:53 pm)
Haven't brought the car back in yet. Am going to do it Friday.   I am taking it to a new Sound Advice here in Florida as the first install shop was just short of pitiful.   On discussing the humm with the second Sound Advice, he said that in fact, with the Aux Audio Cable, there should be no humm, and as qbrozen stated, it is probably a bad ground. According to the new installer, it IS a bad ground. He says I should hear nothing of ignition noise and that the FM modulator, if used, does quite often pick up noise. But not the cable I and you have gone with.   So lets see and compare notes when its done. Right now the out the door price (hardware, install, taxes) is $1880.00   They will probably come off of that another 100 due to their previous lackluster installation performance. Clearly, I would have rather paid the full install price and not have to go through all these hassles.   I did buy a 5 year warranty for $160.00 That goes on top of the 1880.   Curious of your complete pricing package, sysadmin1. Keep me posted on your install and I'll do the same.
