1) Same problem. Have found no solution agghhhhh
2) Say part of the number - be silent, when they ask to add number, just say more numbers without the yes.
3) I have paired 5. Switch by saying "next phone" and it moves down the list (skipping the unavailable phones. I did have to get new cell phones b/c my 9 month old Chocolate (by LG) would only link well occasionally. I'd encourage people to look at the hands free web site phone listing. Really disappointing.
4) There is a "train" button on the opener machine -probably where the light bulb is. Push is and then train the homelink while light is flashing by the train button. You may have to start by pushing the Homelink button prior to the train button. Can't remember the exact sequence. Did you look online for manuel of your opener?
6) Let the back people watch DVD, put radio on the front and crank your radio volume all the way down.

Thanks.
 
I figured out 1. Instead of hitting the SEL/RESET button to toggle, like every other menu, you have to hit the < button below the ^ button, next to the SEL/RESET button. With all the other menus it cyles between the main menu topics, but it functions totally differently in this menu. Not a logical UI but once you know its fine.

I just got the 2009 pilot with the cross bars (accesory). I am going nuts from a wind-type noise (that sounds like it is) coming from the roof area... Do you think it may be the rails? Is there a way (for me) to check if the roof rails are on backward?

You or ask dealer to slide the crossbars out then you can tell.

I read about the these complaints before getting my Pilot recently but now that I've owned it I question their accuracy. I have had multiple occasions to go from 0-60+ at freeway on ramps with lights and don't so in 7.something seconds, so I don't know what they were smoking. I was surprised too because I thought it was sluggish when I test drove it but I was being conservative I think. When you push the Pilot it responds well. Overall it has handled acceleration and passing as well as my previous Toyota Sienna's (basically the same engine as the Highlander I think), Lexus SUV or Ford Explorer. And in any event, regardless of where it lands in a competition, it gets the job done more than adequately for anyone not in a drag race.
 
I have had no hunting/seeking problems with the cruise control. It has worked great for me.
 
As for braking distances, I haven't done the kind of test they did, but for everyday use I have found it find. I like it even because it is realy smooth. The Highlander is much too tight and jerky by comparison. I have had to stop quickly once or twice and had no issue.
 
Bottom line is I would suggest anyone interested try for themselves before relying on this report. There have been other reviews that didn't note the same issues. Maybe they just had a lemon.

Same as I found the driver seat causes me pain in my rear end as well as shoulder pain, while nobody else complains about it.

I had the same problem. They are on backwards. Take them too the dealer who installed them and they can fix it.

There won't be such problem if they make L side insert a different with R side.

For those that have had the Pilot for a bit, any feedback on acceleration or breaking?
