problem #1

Pilot Touring V6

XM radio stops working completely shortly after I start the car, and usually noticed when the NAV screen first displays the NAV OK button or when the back-up camera turns on. The radio display shows XM is still selected, but no other characters appear on the display. I can select any other option, e.g. AM, FM, Aux, CD, DVD, and they all work fine. Once another option is selected, the XM button will not take you back to XM mode...like the button is not connected to anything. To get XM back, I can cycle the iginition (i.e. turn the car off and start it again) and the XM radio works like nothing was ever wrong. This is an intermittent problem the dealer has not been able to reproduce; however, it happens to me an average of 1.5 times per month over the past 12 - 15 months.

If you have this problem...report it! The dealer claims I am the only one (of course). They also say Honda may not pay for it if they cannot see it stop working. We will see. I have 6,000 miles on my warranty.
