#34 of 49 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 49 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 49 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.
#39 of 49 Dead Battery- can't open tailgate by biglance Oct 03, 2009 (11:49 am)
We have owned our Pilot for two weeks and love it to death. One issue I have discovered though is that you can't open the tailgate when the battery is dead. We must have left a light on last night and this morning the battery was dead and the power locks were not working. I kept our jumper cables into the same storage area where the tire change parts are located. Unable to open the tailgate, I climbed into the back of the car and tried opening the hatch where the cables were stored. However, that hatch cannot be opened when the rear tailgate is closed. Obviously, we won't be keeping the jumper cables in that storage area anymore, but it seems to violate every idea of common sense that you can't open the tailgate when the battery is dead and can't access the bottom storage hatch in the back when the tailgate is down. Please somebody tell me I overlooked some way to open the tailgate on a dead battery! We still love our Pilot, this is just something we learned the hard way and so I'm here to warn others not to store your jumper cables in the bottom hatch in the back.

Replying to: biglance (Oct 03, 2009 11:49 am) Is there a side panel storage? I know the Pilot does not come with a lock device at the hatch but is there a pull flap in driver area that can be pulled to open the hatch door, just like the hood & gas door?

Replying to: bigdadi118 (Oct 04, 2009 12:51 am) There is a medium sized storage panel on the very back wall on the driver's side. There is a button on the driver door to release the glass which doesn't unlock the glass on a dead battery.

Replying to: biglance (Oct 04, 2009 4:25 pm) Guess the side panel on driver side is the only way to store the jump cable when needed, or only other method is road side assistance come with jump cable...   Subaru has by-pass switch on the hatch panel to open the locked hatch, not from outside but inside.
