#31 of 1052 backup sensor more... by pchiu Jun 27, 2002 (7:53 am)
It will make a quick beep when you put in reverse, it may be annoying to some. But I can live with it, as kind of cofirm it isworking, and will not accendiatlly put in reverse.
#32 of 1052 Pchiu, Thanks again by bill01923 Jun 27, 2002 (5:12 pm)
I can't see the lower area behind the Pilot either. I'm concerned about not seeing small children in parking lots. I will probably add it later. I'm adding fog lights and rear splash guards now. Thank again, Bill

Yes that is the reason that we spend the money on the backup sensor. It is very useful and helpful to detect little kids. It has been activated once when a kid ran behind the SUV, then it beeped right away, after the kid ran past, it stop beeping. But it happened so quick, like suddenly you heard 1 to 2 beeps then the kid's gone. If you want to check the installion before you buy it, this is the link, go to install at the top right corner. http://www.collegehillshonda.com/parts/extension/pilot/03pilot.htm

About the in-dash CD changer, all I can tell you is that I checked on the car at one point during the day and the tech told me that he had the in-dash unit hooked up and working but he hadn't closed it up yet. Later, I was told by the service manager that the in-dash unit could not be used since Honda did not provide a bezel for the lower dash position.   If you have a question as to how it mounts, just remove the dashboard trim pieces and you can see how it goes together (just check the in-dash player instructions on the college hills honda web site). If you are a VERY good cabinet maker, perhaps you probably COULD make a bezel out of wood, but I think it might be very difficult.   Good luck!
#36 of 1052 Fog lights, CD changer installed by bumblej Jul 07, 2002 (11:24 pm)
I purchased the Honda's Fog lights from CollegeHillsHonda.com and installed it 2 weeks ago. Since I'm new to this and it took me 6 hours to finish even with the help of my friend. The painful part is the need to drill holes in the bumper of a brand new vehicle ! Later I saw coltey mentioned about www.handa-accessories.com and prices of their products are even cheaper in a lot of cases but you have to pay tax if you live in California. I bought an aftermarket CD changer from the Fry's electronic for $250. This SCD-A88 model is for most Honda vehicles up to 2002. I was in doubt whether it will work for Pilot. It got a 14-pin cable adaptor and it matches with the Honda's installation instruction. I decided to give it a try. It worked very well !! As sofla mentioned you have to be extra careful with the black extra thin duct under the driver seat. The worst part is to do-your-own-mount and I used some wood to extend the mount and put the bracket that came with on top.
#37 of 1052 backup camera ? rear view mirror with screen by bumblej Jul 07, 2002 (11:53 pm)
Has anyone tried to install the factory backup camera which could show the rear view on the navigator screen ? Is it rather difficult ? For those who has one, how is the picture quality in both day and night ? When your Pilot is only inches away from the car at the back, does it give you a good angle to see how close you are ? I saw that Fry's Electronic has a rear view mirror which has a 2 - 3 inches screen on the left side of it. You could hook up 2 devices like a back up camera (similar to Honda's) and also a tiny baby monitor camera to that mirror. You could select which one to show. Good thing is you don't need to have a navigator to show the rear view. Bad thing is it is not cheap !! With the setup that I mentioned it costs around $700 plus installation. But this is an alternative.
#38 of 1052 Fry's CD changer by han6 Jul 08, 2002 (9:39 pm)
I just wonder whether Bumblej's CD changer can still be controlled from the steering wheel buttons.
#39 of 1052 Re: Fry's CD changer by bumblej Jul 09, 2002 (10:40 pm)
Yes, Han6. The 'CH' button from the steering wheel can do the skip forward function. But to change to another disc you need to push the disc+ and disc- buttons from the stereo unit.

Bumblej, The changer you got sounds like a option to the Honda one. Do you know if it will play MP3's?
