#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!

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.

Set a date of Feb 9th to have it installed. Will let you know how it goes.
#265 of 1052 Satellite Radio by brucebro Jan 14, 2004 (1:14 pm)
I was given the XM Satellite Radio system for Christmas and it is unbelievable! I have the home kit plus the car adapter (cassette adapter). I also have the RF modulator kit but have yet to have it installed - mostly because there is no real convenient place on my 2004 Pilot EX-L dash to place it and I also got really nervous when the 20 year old kid at Circuit City pulled out his screwdriver! I'm intrigued by the Aux Audio Cable input discovery - perhaps I can use it instead of the RF Modulator. Any thoughts?   I'm thinking of installing the cradle for the Sat receiver on the front of the "not an ashtray". This way, if it gets botched or I change my mind later on about the system, I can get a replacement ashtray from Honda for about 20 bucks. Can anyone else suggest a better spot?

I know the RF modulator doesn't get mounted on dash, I was referring to the Sat unit itself. Another advantage of the ashtray install is that the wires can go straight back through the tray.
#267 of 1052 Aftermarket wood trim by mrkn Jan 16, 2004 (7:55 am)
Has anyone purchased any off market "real" wood trim for their Pilot. If so which company did you buy from and do you like it.
#268 of 1052 Honda Running Boards by mrkn Jan 17, 2004 (7:13 pm)
Has anyone purchased the Pilot running boards from one of the internet honda parts stores. If so what was the best price you were able to find.
#269 of 1052 sysadmin1 DVD Installation Complete by terumi1 Jan 18, 2004 (7:40 am)
They re-installed my dvd system. They had to completely re-do it. It took them 6 hours. No ignition humm. No wires showing. It was done correctly.   They completely refunded my installation charge of $300.00   I have a major problem with the RF headphones. The first Sound Advice shop told me they were THE WAY to go. The second Sound Advice shop I bought the car to (because I had completely lost faith in the first one), said they detest the RF headphones.   And they do sound scratchy like AM radio. And it doesnt matter where you put the rf transmitter.   He recommends IR over RF any day of the week. And he said, with all the difficulties that have occured in my car, he would put the IR transmitter in my car and swap out the RF headsets at no charge. He said it will be a static free sound.
#270 of 1052 dlake 1963 stereo Faceplate by terumi1 Jan 18, 2004 (7:47 am)
Watched the guy install my dvd player. He had to take out the radio to do this (aux audio cable in the back)   I have a Pilot 2004 EX-L   On either side of the cubby-hole at the bottom of the radio stack are two pseudo metal looking pieces. They are plastic. One on the left and one on the right. You remove (snaps off) those pieces first. Then you can remove the plastic strips that run up vertically on either side of the radio. It is about an 1.5" strip of plastic, left and right of the radio stack. Get those plastic strips off and there are the mounting bolts for the radio. Unscrew them and pull the whole radio unit forward into your hand.
