Exclamation What package do you need to get the Digital Compass in the rearview mirror glass?

I have a 2014 GLK with a good amount of options including P1 and multimedia and there is no digital compass in the rearview mirror?!

My mirror does have the smartlink gararage door opener buttons and the auto dimming feature.

I thought compass came standard on all smartlink / autodimming rearview mirrors? Is this not true for the 2014 GLK or did I get an error build?

Would appreciate if any technical GLK experts with the answers could weigh in for me.

Thanks!

Please check your Owner's manual - if you set Comand correctly - you have digital compass in the upper bar of COMAND in any screen/function - you can call up COMAND screen compass as well - and in the cluster you can call up Nav info which gives you compass there, real slick on that one so you should check it out .. so, in essence, you have THREE compasses... hope you're happier now..

There was (2010) a button on the right side bottom of the mirror to turn the compass on and off.

I have an American 2013 GLK. I haven't seen the compass on the rear view mirror. Is it possible that it's only on Canadian versions?

IIRC, the compass in the mirror is for "base" cars with NO package. So a car with P1 or Multimedia wouldn't get the digital compass in the mirror because it's integrated with COMAND.

I have an older GLK (2010) and it has the compass in the Navigation and in the mirror. So maybe they took it out with the newer ones

Maybe 'cause I don't see the 4th button to turn ON/OFF the compass in the picture above.

pretty lame if thats true - why not have it in both places? so pay more and lose an extra feature? looks cooler in the mirror glass and easier to see than the command which doesnt stand out
