#16 of 35 07 Pilot Daytime Lights by cardnal Jan 09, 2008 (6:35 pm)
Own an 07 Pilot. Wife loves it. You can leave lights on and the EXL model does automatically switch lights to OFF in a few seconds, BUT this is not a true DRL. It is basically an automatic shut-off feature,   Just bought a new Ford Explorer SportTrac which now has less than 2000 miles on it. I know DLR's are about a $150 option on this model. My Trac has most everything I want except the DLR feature. Today the dealer made a computer adjustment during oil change, and pronto I have the DLR feature!!! Cost? N/C. I'm pleased. Now I have automatic lights and DLR's. My dim lights are on when the motor is running and I engage the vehicle in drive. Sweet. Replies to this message: parviz (Jan 10, 2008 4:36 pm)

Replying to: cardnal (Jan 09, 2008 6:35 pm) I own an 06 Pilot and the auto shut off feature turns the lights off based on the amount of time you set (adjustable), but as you have mentioned no DRL. It was interesting to hear that just a computer adjustment gave you the DRL on your Ford. Don't think that would be doable on the Pi;ot, not at least until the 09 models show up.
#18 of 35 Auto Locks on the 08 Honda Pilot EX-L Nav by dominickc1 Feb 01, 2008 (7:27 pm)
I have a 08 Pilot that I just loved and drive. The Auto lock on the 08 Honda Pilot is tricky it will auto lock when you start it up, but you manualy un-lock the door to get out to get something it won't auto lock you have to lock it yourself. But sometimes it will lock by its self without you anywhere around or near the Pilot which scares me sometimes. Thats why I got the GM version of On-Star from Kerr and its worth the money and the car insurance. My car insurance went way down with this feature.

Replying to: dominickc1 (Feb 01, 2008 7:27 pm) You mention you have "OnStar from Kerr". What does that mean? Is there a means of getting OnStar on vehicles not originally equipped with such? I would be VERY interested in learning of this!   FYI: AutoLock: AutoLocking is not a feature available on the 03-08 Honda Pilot from the factory. DRL: US 03-08 Pilots do not have Daytime Running Lights. I am thinking of installing a couple of relays to do so myself. One problem with turning on lights manually during the day as mentioned is that the dash gauge lighting becomes too dim. Auto Off: This is a feature on Pilots above the LX trim. Turns off headlights and parking lights automatically 15 seconds after you pull the key from ignition. They come back on as soon as the driver door is unlocked.
#20 of 35 08 Pilot Automatic Locking Doors by rsg123 Aug 10, 2008 (6:43 pm)
When we test drove a 08 Pilot, it had automatic locking doors (they would lock when taken out of Park). We were told this was a standard feature. When we got our Pilot (08 EX-L 2wd with Navi) we didn't find anything mentioning automatic locking doors in the quick start guide or manual. We took it to the dealer to activate the feature, and they said 08 Pilots do not have this feature at all (only 09s)!! Can anyone tell me if this is true, and if not, how do we get this feature working? We tried the method of turning the key to II and holding down the lock button, but it didn't work.

#21 of 35 On-Star from Kerr by dominickc1 Aug 16, 2008 (10:19 am)
It just protects your vechicle from anybody stealing it or messing around it. If your vechicle is stolen they can locate it or disarmed the motor or you can if you have a computer or a phone. You can see where the vechicle been or gone. You can control your kids driving. You can also put striction on your kids driving and it will send you a signal to your home on the phone or your computer. Replies to this message: pablo9 (Aug 25, 2008 11:51 am)

Replying to: dominickc1 (Aug 16, 2008 10:19 am) So, can you confirm you do have OnStar services on a non-GM car? On the internet site for Onstar, they only show their connection with vehicles from GM. (Which makes sense since GM is who came up with it and it's a huge selling point.)

Replying to: rsg123 (Aug 10, 2008 6:43 pm) As mentioned, the only Pilot I know of with auto locking feature driven by gear or speed is the 09. THe 08 has the standard Honda key-safe feature which will re-lock doors if you don't open a door after using the remote.
#24 of 35 2007 pilot rear wiper by joga37 Apr 28, 2009 (10:35 am)
I am trying to replace the rear wiper on a 07 pilot but can't get the old wiper off.   My nearest honda dealer is about 80 miles away so I bought the new wiper blade on-line.It came with no instructions and the owners manual only refers to the front wipers.   Any help would be appreciated.

Replying to: joga37 (Apr 28, 2009 10:35 am) From another forum ...   There are a couple small stops to prevent it from pivoting all the way to where it needs to be to remove from the arm. No particular release, just a "hard tug." I didn't particularly enjoy using the force needed to snap it past the stops, but I didn't see any alternative, and nothing appeared to break.   http://www.carspace.com/bigdadi118/Albums/bigdadi118%27s%20Album/2007_pilot_wipe- - r.jpg/page/photo.html#pic   Replies to this message: joga37 (Apr 29, 2009 1:32 pm)
