have any of you experienced the compass in the rear view display 100% for a second then go back to the direction?
Mine did that three times in the last couple days....how i caught it I dont know cause it is just a split second it happens.

the compass is able to automatically calibrate itself, while i thought that they displayed 'C' while this was happening it might be possible that when you see 100% it has completed its calibration cycle.

When it shows that it's a "segment check".
Watch it when you start the car.
It might be getting reset while you are driving. You could have a poor connection somewhere, or a loose ground for the mirror.
The F and C should light up also when it does that.
