Calibrating Digital Compass for the first time
 
Do you have to drive in a tight circle in order to calibrate the compass for the first time? How many rounds before it calibrates? I tried it last night but couldn't get it to work. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

First you have to set the zone. Then you can calibrate it. After going into calibration mode (using the adjustment button) drive in one circle very slowly. All of this is only required if the compass hasn't been set to the appropriate zone by the dealer.

The procedure is well documented in the owner's manual, which is also available on the home page of the site if you don't have one.
