FJ Cruiser compass
 

How many set yours soon after getting your rig?
I finally did mine this morning at work, only been blinking at me for 5 weeks now :D

Simple to do if you have not done it, the info is in the manual.

My dealer did not set mine for me.
I only had to do about 2 full circles at 5 MPH for it to finalize the setup.

Drove around the block once.

hahaha these threads are silly

He he, you are just compass envy :booty:

Did the "jealousy" excuse come with the FJ manual? I think it has been used multiple times now. :laugh:

i have one in my rearview mirror, i just dont start threads about doing 2 circles to calibrate it! :baby: :laugh:

:lol: :lol: BURN!

Tell us about how people stare at it Lee! :P

Well excuuuuuuuse me for trying to find out if other owners had procrastinated at doing it like I did.

Set the compass? :dunno:

hahah you cant tell me you wouldnt laugh if i started a "hey anyone use their sunglasses holder in their 01 runner yet??" thread

I might laugh, but I would have the restraint to go in and try to fubar up someone's thread seeking a serious answer.

Armi, you only have the compass if you got the CQ package, or Upgrade package 1 or 2.

It is part of a cluster that has the compass, temp gauge, and clinometer, top dead center of the dash.

I am not sure which one gives it to you, but it is one of them.
Above is how mine was configured.

haha! forgive for me laughing, but this is funny.

My wife has been driving her lexus for a year now with two lines on her mirror. I guess I should set it for her but I figured a much as she drives in circles that it would reset itself.

You actually have to set which section of the country you are in and then let the compass you are calibrating it. Read the manual and it tells you how to do it. Takes all of 5 minutes.

Damn dudes... can you blame the guy for being excited about his new ride? Cut the man some slack.

bah, all you technomobiles with a compass. i tell which direction i'm going in by...oh wait i don't. :(

I go by sextant :chairfall













...no not really I have a GPS...

PDF file for setting it.

so many haters LOL

sorry, :lol:

this whole thread is pretty freaking funny, anyone who posted in here is a post whore....including me.

If your dealer didn't do it as part of their PDI I'd start to question the work ethic of their technicians.
