WEEZARR1&SS Posted April 14, 2005 Report Share Posted April 14, 2005 Mine did that for a couple of days also then it fixed itself, but if it does not you might want to take it in to get it fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgdsub72 Posted April 14, 2005 Report Share Posted April 14, 2005 it might need to be recalibrated. I don't know how to calibrate it but you might want to look it up. I know standard calibration on radar detectors is the set it in calibration mode and drive in two complete circles. Now the only quiestion is how to set the mirror to calibration mode...

geomcrider Posted April 14, 2005 Report Share Posted April 14, 2005 recalibrate it ... In the manual is has a few sequences to do and then you drive in a 360 circle and then it should be all set. you need to do this in a parking lot George Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdg Posted April 14, 2005 Report Share Posted April 14, 2005 My last truck would do that when I was putting in the stereo. It appeared if it sat a long time without moving it would be incorrect. There's a traffic circle by my house and I would just drive it around the circle 3 or 4 times and it would correct itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZX9R Posted April 16, 2005 Report Share Posted April 16, 2005 You may need to adjust the zone setting and recalibrate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deve8edsilv Posted April 17, 2005 Report Share Posted April 17, 2005 To calibrate, push the on/off button for approximately 12 seconds or until cal is displayed. The compass can be calibrated by driving the vehicle in circles at 5 mph or less until the display reads a direction. To set zone, push and hold the on/off button until a Z and a zone number appear in the display. Keep pressing the on/off button until the desired zone number appears in the display. Release the button and after approximately four seconds of inactivity, the new zone number will be locked in and the compass/temperature display will return. Michigan is zone 9.
