Re: 01 GTP Compass reset

wait a minute, you have a compass in your rear view mirror? I dont recall that being an option on GP's. Are you sure its not aftermarket?

Re: 01 GTP Compass reset

There is a procedure to recalibrate the compass. I don't remember how to get in to the calibration mode. But I do remember that once in the mode you have to drive the car in a circle then you are done with the calibration.
