Huh????:confused: :eek: :p swampler 10-14-2006, 07:44 AM I've always wondered if a compass in a vehicle was worth it, but now that I have navigation on my cell phone, it was neat to see I was traveling west on I-40 EAST. No, I wasn't going the wrong direction. I guess that's mountain driving for you. :D geotech 10-14-2006, 08:41 AM I need a compass and/or navigation because of what I do. I really, really hate to say this, but..... the compasses in my GMC trucks have a way better display format and have never failed thru the last 10 years and 3 trucks. (sorry) :o Andy-Montreal 10-14-2006, 09:14 AM Generally speaking, the factory-installed mirrors with incorporated compasses are produced by Delphi Industries. In the manual, there is a section where initial setting and calibration of the compass is imperative for the owner's specific geographical area. Unfortunately, the dealer never sets this up for the client so in many instances, the compass is slightly inaccurate. Pizza Man 09-16-2008, 09:09 AM I realize this is an old Thread, but my compass reads North constantly. I figure I should be nearing Santa's Workshop soon. :D I needed to recal the compass on another vehicle, which was easy enough by driving in a circle 3x. I need to find the RL recal procedure. Hopefully, it's in the Owners Manual. 25 Year Honda Owner 09-16-2008, 09:35 AM Same deal with the RL. Mine messed up in the 06. I drove around in circles until it recalibrated itself!! Pizza Man 09-16-2008, 10:18 AM Fixed it, gotta love that Owner's Manual! 25 Year Honda Owner 09-16-2008, 10:26 AM Fixed it, gotta love that Owner's Manual! I have really been going around in circles trying to figure out why my rollover 401K is suddenly becoming a 201K!!;) Pizza Man 09-16-2008, 10:31 AM I have really been going around in circles trying to figure out why my rollover 401K is suddenly becoming a 201K!!;) Careful "25", this could get political! :D 25 Year Honda Owner 09-16-2008, 10:39 AM Careful "25", this could get political! :D I thought that if kept going in circles the 401K might possibly correct its self!!:) Here I is was planning for the 09 meet yesterday morning and by yesterday afternoon I was wondering about how to survive!:rolleyes: Pizza Man 09-16-2008, 11:01 AM Here I is was planning for the 09 meet yesterday morning and by yesterday afternoon I was wondering about how to survive!:rolleyes: One day at a time works for me! :cool: | ||
