Hello,

So I have an 09 Honda Pilot Touring and it used to be that the tailgate would open (power lift) with a long press on the keyfob and nothing would open the glass hatch via fob. I just got a new keyfob and now the situation has reversed. With 1 quick click of the fobs hatch button it unlocks glass hatch. And with a long press it just unlocks the tailgate. The power lift works fine because I can use the button on the drivers door and it opens like normal. How do I switch this around, I loved the way it was before. Thanks.

I too have this exact same problem. I think I'm going to have to go to the guy that cut the key and programmed it, because he must have assumed that we wanted the glass hatch to open up but my wife has been absolutely insistant that the power gate should have been what it was to be programmed to. (I get it, when you have kids and groceries, you just want a button to magically get the back ready so you can load er' up.)
