Compass Settings — Uconnect® 5.0
After pressing the “Compass Settings” button on the
touchscreen the following settings will be available:

Compass Variance is the difference between Magnetic

“Calibration” button on the touchscreen to change this
setting. This compass is self-calibrating, which eliminates
