hello friends,

i just recieved my g35 back from the shop i had some minor repairs
evrything worked out great but for some reason my compass displays a dashed line like this; --- - - (close enough)
my dealer sed i have to make circles at 5 mph and hold the compass button down to reset it

however i tried and felt like an idiot because it didnt work

any suggestions?

 

Well.....you have to be IN THE CAR when you do those circles!!!! J/K....
Thats wierd!

 

did you circle cw or ccw? try the other direction now.also bump the speed to 10mph.
when first bought the car,went home and found out the compass didn't works.so i brought the car back to dealer and they told me that's what they did.
if it still not working then take to dealer and let them do it.

 

The owners manual has the instructions on how to reset it depending on the "zone" you live in. Check there if you can't figure it out.

 

yes i was in the car how long do i have to circle around for and where in the owners manual can i find the reset instructions

?

 

According to page 2-6 of the owners manual:
If the compass displays the wrong direction, per page 2-8, do the following:
These page numbers are from the updated 2004 owners manual.

 

well ill try it tomaro but i hold the compas button while the engine is runing or when the batt is on?

thanx

 

This just happened to me on my 05-6mt. I pressed the COMP button while my son was driving the car. I wanted to set the compass zone. All I got was the flashing -- -- -- lines. Yesterday I found an area I could turn around in and when I read the manual again it says to Press and Hold the COMP button WHILE turning the key to the ON position. After doing this, I drove the car around in circles 3 times, and still got the -- -- -- lines. So I figured I would take it in later. I traveled another 2 blocks to my original destination and when I parked the car, I noticed it was working.

So, turn the car off, then press and hold the COMP button WHILE turning the key to ON and then set your zone.

Hope that helps

thanks for the clarification......if the car is under warranty, have them replace it......

 

here the problem i was in an accident and im scared to take it to the dealer even tho the car was fixed the compass is the only problem and its intact just needs programming......im just scared that they will blame this problem on my shop andy warrenty ............. any advice? maybe reseting my ecu helps?
