Hello all,
I purchased an 02 WRX no longer than a month ago and seem to be experiencing a problem with the auto dimming mirror.
It was fine when I purchased the car until my smartass friend started messing with the zone settings for the digital compass. Now it only reads south and southeast.
Before I go in for warranty, I just wanted to make sure if it's actually malfunctioning or if it's just miscalibrated.
Anyone run into this b4?
Any advice would be appreciated.
:)

Sounds like it's just miscalibrated now. Maybe a dealer service rep can tell you how to reset it over the phone. Also try to send ckevin on nasioc a PM, he's the uber-mechanic among Subaru guys.

plz look at ur owners manual-it shows you how to set the zone for what area you live in-holding the right side button will get you to the zone setting -set to correct number for where you live-then afer that a (CAL) will appear in the left side-driving in a slow circle a couple times will calibrate it.or just drive for awhile.very easy to do.
mine started doing the same thing not too long ago. Only reads south directions - I didn't notice but I got lost and noticed my car was saying i was going SW when I should have been heading north. So, I turned around, which was a good thing (I really was lost) but I subsequently noticed that I was still going south. Very odd.

:) check your warranty original sales date--if within 3yrs or 36k miles--its warranty
