Crocostimpy 11-06-2008, 07:35 AM The compass in my inside mirror has stopped working. Or at least displaying anyway. I couldn't find anything in the manual about it at all, and turning the mirror off and on doesn't help. Does anybody know if there's a way to restart it, or jump start it, or do I need to get it to the dealer? Thanks. cardboardpimp420 04-10-2009, 06:55 PM have you checked your fuses? does anything else on the mirror work? Crocostimpy 04-11-2009, 09:01 AM Wow! It took this long for someone to reply? I figured it out. The button with the N and the arrow on it is an on/off for the compass. I thought it was a calibration button, and couldn't find anything that said otherwise. When I think about it now it seems silly. North is always North! cardboardpimp420 04-11-2009, 08:07 PM yeah i noticed the post date after i replied lol mtpina 12-22-2009, 11:10 PM Hey there, i just bought a used 2003 M6, and my mirror does not shows anything, checked fuses and nothing wrong, any suggestions? Crocostimpy 12-24-2009, 06:53 PM Is there a button on the mirror with an 'N' on it? That turns the compass display on and off. Try that. If that doesn't work then I'd say you have a dead unit. mtpina 12-28-2009, 07:57 PM It has two buttons, one on each side of the little "display" but non of the two does anything Crocostimpy 01-02-2010, 05:47 PM There must be a difference between the '03s and the '06s then. Mine only has the on/off button for the auto-dimming mirror next to it, and then the three Homelink buttons. I'd say it would have to be a damaged unit, or maybe a damaged wire in the wire harness. mtpina 01-04-2010, 10:08 PM There must be a difference between the '03s and the '06s then.
