silly question time

[gtomo2]

ok inlaws have come up with thier parjeo and the compass on it keeps flashing between west north east then west south east how do you reset it so it works. Have tryed pressing the "s" button on the bottom right hand side of he display which brings up all the lower arrows then it just keeps scanning thought them it stays like that untill you turn the car off. Any ideas please thanks

Sorry im not helping am i.

It isnt getting interference from a mobile phone or such like is it. Have you tried doing it up the road a bit?? :?

[gtomo2]

got big hammer out but in laws stopped me before i could hit it :lol: Yes tryed to do it outside the house and again about 5 miles away. No phones in car and all other eletrics off. not to worry I dont think they could figure it out to use it anyway.

After pushing the S button, drive in a big circle, or do a slow 3 point turn.... it's a "Flux Gate" compass and needs to do a full circle to get it's measurements and give a good reading.

Roundabouts are perfest, but make sure you take the kids as they seem to love going right round the r-about twice :) Big supermarket carparks are good too....

as ed said big circle or roundabout matey that should see you alrite

Dont doit whilst going round a Roundabout...

quite correct, you do it JUST BEFORE entering a roundabout ;) then drive round in circles. This should sort it out. Apparently the size is important (isnt it always the case!!!) So if it dont work on one size, then either go bigger or smaller.. :)
