I'm considering installing a trailer hitch on my '08 Pilot (FWD) as well. When I checked the Honda e-store to see what was recommended, installation of a trailer hitch also requires installation of an "ATF Cooler" (?) and a "PSF Cooler" (which I think relates to power steering. If I plan on towing 3,000 lbs, do I need to install these things, or is this just an area for Honda & dealers to make some profit? Any thoughts appreciated.

From my perspective, I would do it for two reasons
 
1. It reduces the heat generated in the transmission/PS by towing with a vehicle that is marginally designed for that purpose.
 
2. Honda will void your warranty if you tow without the coolers.
 
As to whether it is neccessary: cheap insurance, IMO.

After market DVD player choices by andylaksh1

Hello all,
I have an '08 VP 4WD and would like to install an after-market over head flip down dvd player. I was thinking about getting the player from ebay (saw quite a few around $230 range) and have it installed in a local custom stereo shop. Does anyone who have done this can suggest me what brand/size/price etc.? Also, is it ok to go to a custom shop without having to worry about my vehicle's interiors getting messed up and all? What is your experience in general with this kind of stuff? Any input is greatly appreciated. Thanks very much.

Try installing them the other direction (back to front). They are only designed to be installed facing one direction, if they are facing the wrong way then the wind shear causes the whistling.

Running Boards by jwalls

Just wondering if its worth bickering with dealers over running boards or not. The dealers dont seem to want to bargain with me on these. I think they are over 600.00 cost. Can they be purchased for less and if so, does anyone have a web site ?

2009 Pilot - Rubber Floor mats and 2nd Row Seat Cover - Discounted by bossoxfan

Not sexy acessories I know, but I got the rubber floor mats and second row polypropelne seat cover and am happy with the purchases. Especially useful with two toddler boys and the snow/mud/sand that comes with N.E. Winter weather.
 
Seat cover took some effort to install but it fits like a glove - which made it hard to put on because it fits so tightly.
 
"Pilot" logo come on both so they look sharp and coordinated. Plus, both the mats and seat cover are black and go well with black leather on my 2009 Pilot EXL.
 
Bernardi.com was cheaper than directly from Honda.

I had been considering 2nd row covers but opted not to go with them because it seemed like it would prevent third row access. Any thoughts?

I shared the price from the Bernardiparts.com with the dealer and they came within about $30. We purchased the lighted boards for our 09 Pilot and working out great. Although the lights are a little more expensive, definitely worth it to see your step at night.

Remote Starters by rgv3766

I've read a few "not so good" messages about the Honda Remote Starter. We have an 09 Pilot AWD EXL and considering this option. Does anyone have a recommendation of other Remote Starters or know if Honda has corrected their problem of having to "shut the engine off" to enter the vehicle?
