Compass Option 245
 

According to my data card and option sheet my recently acquired 2013 C63 came with the code 245 Compass but I cannot see it in the system nor can I do a reset and calibration as described in the owner's manual.
Is there an onboard way to check for its prescence? I know my tech can likely hook up the computer and find out?
Thanks.

Option 245 is compass in rear view mirror or also shows up as trip computer compass

245: Integrated Compass in Rearview Mirror
245: Trip computer/compass (that is what my build sheet says)

It should look like this

Or maybe it is this in command

Seems maybe the early cars had it in the mirror and the FL cars have it in Nav screen.

That's the issue. It don't and a reset doesn't help.
I am suspicious that like some recent posts this car got delivered with out the option or it is a warranty issue to be addressed.

Theres a button bottom right side of the mirror, click and hold to turn on

I went and looked. No switch. Just the garage door buttons.
Can you take a pic and send?

I think the Compass Function is part of Command in the LCI cars. Check your Command book for activating the compass view. My 2012 does not appear to have the hole in the bottom of the mirror to set the compass in the mirror either.

That is more about the overlay option of a compass on the Nav screen and not about the compass in the mirror it is supposed to have.
It isn't critical to have this. More curiosity as to why the data card says it is there and it does not appear to be.
I run with North Up on my Nav so it isn't too difficult to interpret where the tip of the arrow that indicates the car directio is pointed and know what direction I am headed. This can also be displayed on the compass overlay on the screen.

09-11 there was a little red led readout in your rearview mirror that N, NW etc.
2012 onward it is in your nav screen. Simple way of making it appear is if you change your climate settings.

I guess this is the solution then. I like it in mirror better IMO.

Anyway I was talking about this button on far right:

Of whatever junk a** picture this is.

I like the carpet tho ;)

Mirror is totally different in my car. Homelink buttons are central, indicator for setting HL to the left and 2 round map lights either side and the so called reset button just to the right of the right hand HL button is in fact a small light that shines down on the gear selector. Thanks for trying.

Thats cause that pic is a mirror from a PFL car, a 2013 like yours would have the compass display on the screen.
