    Hey guys I have a question about the compasses in our car. My rear view mirror is the on star mirror and the compass is stuck on N. Is there anyway of resetting this or fixing this? It's not a huge bother just something that would be nice to have fixed


    Thanks
    Chris

    With the OnStar mirrors, I believe you need to press and hold the on/off button (circle with a line at the top of it) until CAL appears in the display window. If it doesn't automatically show a direction a few seconds after saying CAL, then you need to drive the car around in a circle 2 or 3 times to manually calibrate it.

    First things first, have you tried driving directions besides north?

    If I remember right when calibrating you are only supposed to turn left.
