Hi there, Looking into gettting a 2006 Pilot EXL and wondering what opinions are on the backup sensors (optional). For those who have it, is it worth it? Reliable or Fragile? Useful or annoying? Consistent or not at all? Thanks.

I have EXL with Navi, so there is no other solutions, as ipod cable will not work with EXL. Check it out. |

Replying to: tmalik (Jan 31, 2006 6:06 pm) The Honda system is well done and well made. I has a 2 tone system, low tones for the 2 inner sensors, high tones for the 2 outer sensors on the corners. The beeping gets progressively faster as you approach an object until you are about 16" away when the beeping is continuous. When you shift in 'R' you hear one beep to know the system is working, and there is a switch on the rear hatch pillar (to turn the system off in case you are towing something) with a small green light which also turns on. The system has been very reliable with no false alarms (unlike the system in my Nissan) and allows you to parallel park much easier. Also, unlike the backup camera, it allows you to look back while you are backing up (backup cameras are neat, but it's a little disconcerting to be staring at your center console while backing up) The system is well integrated into the bumper with body colored sensors. No problems with dirt or rain as of yet. It's not cheap, but if it saves you from hitting one object (especially another car or a small child) it is well worth it. Hope this helps tom

| I recently purchased a 2006 Honda Pilot EXL with Navi. The truck has been in the shop twice since I bought it for underbody noises. The noise is coming from the passenger side of the car and sounds like I ran over a large pothole even though no pothole exists. When this happens the passenger can feel a thump on the passenger floor board as if something has hit underneath them. The noise is an intermittent problem that occurs daily under different driving conditions. The only consistent element is the trucks speed is between 40-50 mph. Has anyone else encountered this issue? | |

I just picked up (two days ago) a Black '06 EXL w/Navi. It took around 6 weeks to order it (seems 4WD plus Navi plus Black is hard to get). It is a beautiful vehicle. "Pop"-type noise question: I sometimes hear a "pop" from the rear of the vehicle when I start it. Seems to be coming from the right-rear, which is where the sub woofer appears to be. I do hear sound coming from the speaker. I have had no issues with any electronics/radio/navi etc., and no additional "pops" while driving. I agree that the radio quality is not that great. I would like a recommendation on how to proceed - determine exactly which speaker is popping? should this speaker be replaced or could this be coming from the radio itself? Also, would I notice better sound from the factory radio (XM plus 6-disc) by replacing all of the speakers? Thanks. |
