Replying to: azelizabeth (May 30, 2009 3:14 pm) I like my CX-9 (touring model), it drives great, and has had no problems, but I want more of a truck/suv feel and we love our Honda Odyssey. Just waiting on rates to drop or a bigger incentive. mike

I just brought home a 2010-EX-L. I discovered (much to my horror), that when the rear window is popped open, locking the car on the key fob turns the car on! I then have to use the key manually to unlock the car and get it and turn it off. It only happens when the rear window is not fully closed. Has anyone ever heard of this? I was planning on installing remote start soon anyway, but this is ridiculous.

Replying to: zorkon (Aug 16, 2009 5:38 pm) Is there a Honda branded remote starter available? Or do I need to buy after-market part and have the Honda dealer install? If the dealer does not install, would it void the warranty offered by Honda? Thanks!

Replying to: vrm (Aug 27, 2009 8:46 am) Here's what is not great about it in my opinion: - The fob is very large. - The range on the fob is not particularly good compared with after-market - You cannot unlock the car remotely after remote starting it. - Once the car is unlocked, it automatically shuts off (This was really the deal breaker for me) - There are a whole host of restrictions as to when the car will allow itself to be started. The dealer recommended I purchase an after-market system which would do more and be cheaper too. The dealer would not install an after-market one though. The downside is that an after-market system WILL void the warranty. Not the entire warranty, but it does void whatever areas it affects. For example, I imagine it could void the warranty on parts of the electrical system and maybe the starter. |

Replying to: zorkon (Aug 16, 2009 5:38 pm) Apparently on a 2010 Pilot, if the ground wire from the rear window to the multiplex is not properly connected, the car gains remote start capabilities without having to install any equipment. The service department did say it's probably not good to have a loose wire (not that I experienced any side effects besides for remote start), so they "fixed" it. I'd love to hear if anyone would experiment cause in retrospect it was pretty cool. It was more functional than the offical Honda remote start and did not require any equipment or extra fob. |

Replying to: zorkon (Aug 28, 2009 10:45 am) I am disappointed that: 1) Honda does not offer a remote start as "standard" feature 2) if you pay extra to install, it does not perform to expectations Which after-market brand would you recommend? Do you plan to install the after-market part? Thanks again.

Hello All, When we picked up our 2010 EX-L, we were provided a list of items that the dealer would set to our desired options, like automatic door-lock , when placed in drive, , when starting to move, never, etc. It is my wife's vehicle so she chose her options. The other day she noted the "daytime running lights" and asked if they can be turned off. The owners manual simply details that they work when the lights are not turned on, etc. She was certain that that was one of the options during the delivery process. So ... Can the dealer set options be changed and specifically the turning off of the day time running lights thanks

Replying to: vrm (Aug 28, 2009 11:25 am) The service dept guy told me about one that you can start the car with your cell phone. He said it was an Alltel thing. I'm guessing that means Verizon too now. Sounded really cool. |
