    Question Rearview mirror compass

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I started my car up today and my Rearview mirror compass went nuts. It shows 00 and then disappears. I can't seem to refresh the compass.

    Any ideas?

    There's usually a process to recalibrate the compass in most cars. Never had to do it in an Audi though. Typically its just putting the compass into calibration mode and then driving in a circle several times.

    I tried to recalibrate it many times, followed the manual to the dot. No results.

    I've had similar issues in other Volkswagens, typically unplugging the compass module. In my CC it was in the boot by the passenger tail light. No idea where it is on the TT but I will look.
