Problem overview

Some Honda Pilot owners report experiencing issues with the infotainment system, including messages like 'NETWORK CONNECTION LOST' and 'FM UNAVAILABLE,' which may indicate hardware or firmware problems. Many users have noted that the infotainment screen can go black and remain unresponsive, even after temporarily removing the fuse. Additionally, some owners have encountered glitches such as malfunctioning back-up cameras, non-functional DVD players, and crackling speakers. While resetting the infotainment system can sometimes resolve minor errors, issues with the electrical system—like the rear camera, dashboard speed display, hands-free phone system, and radio intermittently going blank—have also been reported. Some users experience sound loss when hitting bumps, especially as temperatures rise, along with messages like 'MOST NET OFF' and unexpected system reboots. Furthermore, random shutdowns of the infotainment system lasting several minutes have been noted, potentially linked to problems with iPhone cables. If you are facing similar issues, consulting with a Honda dealer or authorized service center for diagnosis and solutions is recommended.
