It's a nice feature. I use it out of habit every time I park. The process has become "automatic".

I for one am glad it is NOT automatic. My 2013 did not have power fold mirrors and it was the first mod that I did to it, and one night at work we had a wet snow that turned to ice. When I went to unfold the mirrors the drivers side took a crap because of the frozen snow. I added the power fold on my 14 but will never make that mistake again. JMO...

I press/hold (about 2 seconds) the lock button on the FOB as I walk away, to fold them.

Press/Hold the unlock button until the second flash of the corner lights to unfold them.  If you hold the unlock past the second flash, the windows will ALL lower.

 

We had a good coat of dew a few weeks ago, and my folded mirrors and the adjacent glass was dry.  Likewise, last winter, frost not on my folded mirrors, nor the section of windows next to them.

Glad I found this I was wondering the same thing. Pretty minor to have to hold the button for an extra second but kind of silly imo to allow me to turn it on/off in settings like it is something that is prompted by the truck locking or being put in park. Also nice to learn about the windows down with the unlock but no windows up with the lock? 10 year old Audis have these features.

Yeah, my '06 & '10 Ridgelines would roll the windows up, but you had to use the driver's door keyhole.  The windows would remote/key down, but only key up, double-clutching all three options.  My Ridgelines would also power to the rear slider and sunroof, but you have to hold the interior switches to do it, would not do open/close off of the remote or the keyhole otherwise.  Haven't played with my truck enough to see if it will do the same as my Ridgelines did.

My wife's pilot rolls the windows down if the fob unlock gets pressed for a couple seconds in our pockets. It's super annoying and I wish we could disable it.

Interesting, never tried the single press method with our '16 Pilot, when we had it.  Could have swore that the current generation still required double-clutching the unlock to roll the windows down.  I'll do some digging in the Piloteer forum to see if others had the same issue and came up with any solutions, but it may be as simple as digging around through the settings on the vehicle.

I use the “auto fold” only on occasion but I bought I’ve seen them go back into place upon putting the truck in reverse.   Am I wrong?

They don't go out until you request it with the button  or the fob.

 

Which is good, for those that fold them in to get through the garage door.....

It's called an "Owner's Manual" --- one comes with every new vehicle.

I think that maybe he looked. I looked at the manual but didn't find anything. You know you can just save yourself some time and avoid posting if you aren't going to be helpful.

      upgrading speakers on 2026 std cab WT...

      By bwiese · Posted

      I don't wanna do major surgery/upgrades, behind-the-dash work, add amps, change radio etc. on my '26 std cab WT. On the WT, it has the base 7" IOR infotainment setup, and only two speakers (doors). Since I listen to classical, looked around for speakers that do well and dug thru reviews. Two-way speakers were found to be better than 3-way. So I've ordered a pair of  Infinity Reference REF-9632IX 2 way speakers.  [These may  or may not have been discontinued / succeeded by the 3-way ...9633 ones.]    These speakers are lauded for 3 ohm and 94db sensitivity spec so they'll work well for ordinary base car radios without amps and offer better performance (quality,  strength) than  default base paper-cone speakers. They'll be installed in a few days and I'll let y'all know what I think. Bill W San Jose

      Thanks!   Changed out the rear shocks today to Bilstein 5100s.  So far feel much better. The stock Rancho were wore out.  Lots of heavy hauling (2 moves, home renovations, etc).  Next up is new BFG tires Monday.  Cant wait the current tires have little to no wet traction and are super loud (hum)

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      How about I just point to the factory pans stand pipe little drain plug and claim its a pan with a real drain plug !. I just couldn't swallow the fact that a Dorman pan which at this point is probably the only pan out there that fits the gas version truck cost that much up here in Canada so I decided initially anyway to skip it and see what I thought of pulling the pan method and down the road if I felt inclined enough then I would either install a drain plug kit in the factory pan if there is enough room for it, or have a bung welded onto it, or put an aftermarket pan on. The thing is if the pan is not pulled then the magnets in the pan can't be inspected and cleaned or if wanting to change out the filter. However of course it certainly would make the job easier to be able to drop the oil first before having to handle the pan if dropping the pan that go around was the goal.    I knew a guy locally that was doing custom field spraying years ago with a pickup pulling a ground driven sprayer, I believe it was a GM pickup with an automatic trans. He had a drain plug in his pan and would drop the oil out of it once a week and top it back up through the dipstick tube to keep refreshing a portion of the oil often and that made the transmission last far longer than had he done nothing. Soft fields pulling 500 gallons of water at the start of each mixed up sprayer tank batch and in low range sucking along. I imagine he got some tips from other custom sprayer outfits doing the same thing at the time and learning from their blown up tranny mistakes. Transmissions then had no lock up converter so would cook the crap out of the fluid slipping that much and it would not have been synthetic fluid either.
