Good to know. Thanks!

I have the exact same problem as skywrench so I immediately got in my truck to try it out. The truck was heading E and surprisingly the compass was showing E. So I did it anyway. After rebooting the system, it now shows N! So I drove around the block hoping it would calibrate it but it still stuck to N.

I think I will have to go to the dealership at the end of our trip.

Hi there! Will you send us a message with your VIN and your local Ford dealer? I can look into things on my end.

Why do you bother posting this BS? You NEVER follow up with people who DM you.

Read the forums. Everybody knows this and posts it. Since you're a noob, I'll overlook it ...

Good to know then. I can save wear and tear on my keyboard if I'm ever offered. It is a shame though, I was initially impressed by the offer. Not so much now ...
