    Just putting some info out there for ppl

    diagram:

    Connector:


    7-8 -- -- Not Used
    9 WH 193 Rear Defog On Signal
    10 -- -- Not Used
    11 BN 1779 Compass Data Signal
    12 D-BU 1778 Compass Clock Signal

    Compass calibration:
    Before calibrating the compass, drive the vehicle to an area that is magnetically clean (free of large metallic objects).

    1. Turn ON the ignition.
    2. Press the MODE button in order to advance to the COMPASS CALIBRATION mode.
    3. Press the SELECT button in order to display PRESS RESET TO RECALIBRATE.
    4. Press the RESET button.
    5. Drive the vehicle in circles at a speed of less than 10 MPH (16 km/h) until the DIC displays CALIBRATION COMPLETE and the compass displays the proper vehicle heading. The calibration procedure is now complete.



    Compass magnectic varation:
    Magnetic variation adjustments are required when the compass displays a constant error in heading. Variation is the difference between magnetic north and true north due to geographical location.
    Locate your geographic location. Refer to the variation zone map.
    Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
    Press the MODE button in order to advance to the COMPASS CALIBRATION mode.
    Press the SELECT button in order to display RESET CHANGES ZONE.
    Press the RESET button in order to advance to the proper zone number.
    Press the MODE button in order to enter and set the zone number.

    I am not able to see those photos through Photobucket. I have not been able to locate the wiring harness for the compass in my 2007 base model. I am hoping to upgrade my system to the 5 button and already have the temp sensor. I found a small white box under my speaker panel and have not been able to locate any other wires.

    Don't know about the wiring, but I can help you with the photos.

    You can see the pictures in Photobucket by "right-clicking" on that lame gauge image, and then clicking "Open Image in New Tab". It will take you to the source file for that photo. This works on an actual computer, not sure about mobile.
