Question Rear view mirror - pixels?

The display on my rear view that normally shows the direction is all out of whack. The pixels are screwy, it's showing some jibberish that looks like it says 100 deg C and F. Is this something that can be reset or do I need a new mirror?

No I did not read the manual but I did search first

TIA

Have you tried pressing and holding the reset button (right side, lower edge) until a 'C' for Calibrate appears?

If the 'C' appears, drive slowly in a complete circle a couple of times and see if it resets itself. Worked for me recently when the compass got out of alignment. If that doesn't work, dunno, might be a trip to the dealer.

The reset button is on the bottom side of the mirror toward the right side of the "clown nose". It's recessed in a tiny hole. You'll need a tiny screw driver to poke at it.

OK, it's cycling through numbers 1-15, it then starts at 1 again. If I leave it on a number it reverts back to the 100 degrees both F and C I guess it's a dealer visit. Thanks anyway.
