#29 of 50 Re: Remote start standard equipment? [zorkon] by vrm Aug 28, 2009 (11:25 am)
Replying to: zorkon (Aug 28, 2009 10:45 am) Thanks for the info.   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. Replies to this message: zorkon (Aug 31, 2009 5:28 pm) cdolan59 (Sep 28, 2009 9:39 pm) vrm (Sep 29, 2009 6:35 am)
#30 of 50 Changing the dealer deivery default options by nasgroup Aug 30, 2009 (3:12 pm)
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 Replies to this message: zorkon (Aug 31, 2009 5:29 pm) nasgroup (Sep 01, 2009 9:30 am)

Replying to: vrm (Aug 28, 2009 11:25 am) I still have to do more research myself. I'm going to hold off doing it for a while. I don't need it for the winter, so I may wait until the following spring.   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.

Replying to: nasgroup (Aug 30, 2009 3:12 pm) I don't believe they can be shut off, but I've only had my Pilot a couple weeks now.   The manual gives instructions on how to set the door locks. Replies to this message: nasgroup (Sep 01, 2009 9:30 am)

Replying to: zorkon (Aug 31, 2009 5:29 pm) I beleive you are right. The daytime running lights were not an option,. The other defaults like "auto lock" can be changed.   thanks
#34 of 50 Question on installing aftermarket backup camera by pilot2010 Sep 07, 2009 (11:52 am)
Hello,   I have a Pilot EX and am considering to install a wireless backup camera.   I looked at this one: http://reviews.cnet.com/other-car-components/vr3-vrbcs300w-wireless-back/4505-67- 30_7-32317312.html   "Despite its claim to be wireless, the device requires two sets of wires: one to connect the rear-facing camera to the vehicle's reverse-light circuit (if your car does not come with a pre-existing hole for a license-plate light, then you will have to drill one yourself, which may be a deal-breaker for some drivers),"   Could someone tell me, if there is already such a hole on Pilot 2010 Ex? Where is it? (I haven't been able to find it yet)   Thanks!
#35 of 50 test PILOT by 2010testpilot Sep 08, 2009 (8:57 am)
I own (more accurately), I pay for a 2010 Honda Pilot Touring Edition with Rear Navigation and Entertainment package. It had about 400 miles on it when delivered (I searched for a specific model). It currently has 611 miles, and a DEAD #2 cylinder. Crown Point Honda in Durham is trying to figure it out but, during this long weekend...one of the most traveled weekends...I was in a Chevy Traverse....I am thinking I should have just bit the bullet and bought a Tahoe at least then I would walk in to the situation knowing something bad was going to take place.

Replying to: vrm (Aug 28, 2009 11:25 am) i installed an aftermarket remote starter and alarm system on my 2009 EXL pilot. It is an Avital 5303. Its awesome, it has an LCD screen, lets u see on the keychain screen when car is started, it has timer, it has so many options, when i am away i can set it for car to automatically start everyday for a 12, 24, or 60 minute period of time. Anyway I paid about $450 installed, but this is with alarm system, so I also get discount on insurance. It starts from at least 500 feet, maybe more. It will start in parking garage when in outside.   This is an awesome remote, its really cool looking too. It cost less than Honda's junk remote and included an alarm.

#37 of 50 Plastic Dashboard vs Wood grain dash by cdolan59 Sep 28, 2009 (9:51 pm)
I heard many complaints about Honda's cheap plastic dash in the 2009 pilot. I agree. For about $200 I installed a beautiful wood grain dash. I ordered it online. It sticks on with 3M tape backing which is exactly how they do it when ordered from the dealership. The ones you order on line are very nice and dramatically changed the look of my interior. It gives it a very rich look. When I took the car for an oil change the dealership even commented how nice it looks. They are much nicer than if you order through the dealer and are installed the exact same way as if you ordered from the dealership. There is a wide choice of woodgrains on line. You can do it in about 15 minutes. It looks great! Replies to this message: mirrodie1 (Oct 21, 2009 7:53 pm) cdolan59 (Nov 09, 2009 10:08 pm)

Replying to: cdolan59 (Sep 28, 2009 9:39 pm) Thanks for the feedback.   1) Did you install the remote starter yourself? 2) Will this void the Honda warranty on your vehicle? 3) Which website did you use to buy the Avital?   Thanks again.
