I’m having a issue with my drivers side mirror. When I put my passport in reverse the mirror tilts so you can see curbs. When I put the car back in drive the mirror is never back in the original spot so I have to adjust the mirror every time I get into car. Is anyone else having this issue?

Just picked up my Passport today and I encountered this issue. Glad I read about it here first so I knew about it.

I had the same issue when I got mine and took it to the dealer..actually kind of felt silly when they told me it had to do with the memory seats..I set it wrong and took the wrong key fob with me..make sure that when you reset your memory seats you do the same with the mirrors they are connected and when you set driver #1 on your car you have to have the key fob driver #1,,they are numbered 1 & 2.

Interesting ... This could be my issue because it happened on the way back from picking up the car and I had both key fobs with me in my pocket and don't know which one I used after making a few stops. I have since attached #1 to my key ring, so maybe I've solved my issue without knowing it ...

So there are customizable settings for the mirrors, driver's seat settings, and keyless entry settings for each key fob. Has anyone seen a list of settings that can be customized by driver? I don't see anything in the manual.

 

[phillipsmichael]

It's assumed the holder of the Key FOB to which the settings are being applied is the driver.

So are you saying the full list of settings in the infotainment center are customizable?

 

[phillipsmichael]

Ohhh gotcha. Misunderstood. As far as I can tell the only driver related customizations are the outside mirrors and the drivers seat position (other than lumbar). Everything else is just customizable for the vehicle but doesn't change with different drivers.

I discovered that the keyless entry settings change with the key fob when I went into the garage this morning with key fob #2 and the car responded with default settings (I have customized fob #1). I then read (on a Pilot forum) that the keyless entry settings can be customized per driver. So that led to wondering what else varies based on the key fob used?

 

[phillipsmichael]

The manual says the changes you make to the way the keyless entry works only applies to the key FOB that was used to unlock the drivers door. I assumed that meant you could only customize one (which I also thought was weird). But I guess you could relock them and then unlock the door with the other one and try it out.

Yes, this calls for a few tests ...

I would like to be able to open and close the tailgate completely manually and without any beeps. There should be a setting to turn off the beep if in manual mode. When I am car camping and need to access the cargo area while others are sleeping (most mornings I am going somewhere before sunrise) I want to be able to leave in a stealthy manner without disturbing any other campers. I have already turned off all other audible door/lock alerts.

The manual you get with the car is not the "complete" manual. Download the full manual on the Honda Owners site. You can also order a printed copy of the full owner manual and navigation manual within the first 6 months of ownership. The customiizable settinge are covered in detail in the full manual.

Thanks for the reply. I have downloaded the manual and have been through it several times. The manual covers very well which settings can be customized. My question is which of these settings is variable based on the key fob that is used. Some things change with the key fob (eg. keyless entry settings) but are ALL settings variable? Just those under "Vehicle" settings? Where can we find out the specific list of things that change other than by trial and error? I certainly could have missed it, so please point out a page number if it's there.

New dislike would be no valet key.

After thinking about it, for those times that I use a valet key (mostly at parking garages/lots where you have to leave the key), I can just separate the key fob. Lock the glove box with the key; give the other part that operates the car to the attendant.

This leaves a lesser issue of the attendant not having a loop to attach an ID tag, if needed.

Did you have another use in mind?

 

[phillipsmichael]

I worry that fob gets misplaced by valet service and so like to have my fob just in case. Also nice to have 3rd fob for contingency plan if misplace the other fobs.

Good points.

I have only had my PP for a few days, but the front parking sensors leave much to be desired. They do not really help me park. Would much rather they had two more which gave you distance from dead center, rather than angled toward the corners of the vehicle.

^This. For me with a new vehicle it takes a while to know where the front bumper is. The first day after I got the Passport I went to a local strip mall and parked in front of a light post. When I got out of the car, I was probably 2 feet away from the post . I have a better feel for it now ...

A front camera or 360 degree view would be nice.

Anybody else disable the "Auto High Beams" feature? I had to as it was occasionally blinding on-coming traffic and keeping the brights on with vehicles a short distance ahead of me. I didn't want to be one of "those" people that annoy and blind everyone else with their "Welding-Blue White" headlights.

^Yes. I discovered this last week when out well before sunrise on the highway. The high-beams came on at times I didn't need them (the trip I made I have done many times and have never felt the need to use high-beams at all), stayed on just a little too long in the face of on-coming traffic, and went on/off annoyingly with traffic not too far ahead. For me, this will be a manual only operation, however I might test them again when I am in a different setting (2 lane road, etc)

In the "Sound" settings. All the way on the bottom. (can't remember what it's called)

DTS Neural Surround?
