Electrical Compass: Adjustments Acura RDX I facelift

Check the Compass Calibration

Although the electrical compass unit is self calibrating, it may need to be manually calibrated after exposure to a strong magnetic field. If the electrical compass is blinking and CAL is shown on the display, do this to calibrate the electrical compass unit

1. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
2. Press and hold the RPT button (A) and SOUND (B) button until you hear a beep. The display shows the electrical compass setting menu on the audio switch panel for about 5 seconds until you items.
3. When COMPASS SET is displayed, press the No. 1 button on the audio switch panel.
4. When CALIBRATION is displayed, press the preset No. 1 button on the audio switch panel and azimuth display will start blinking, and CAL is displayed.
5. If the azimuth display does not blink and CAL disappears from the display, the calibration is complete.
6. Drive the vehicle slowly in two complete circles. When the calibration is successfully completed, the compass display stops blinking and the CAL indicator goes off. NOTE: The audio system is not related to the electrical compass system. Even if the electrical compass system is calibrating, the display returns to the normal display which was last selected. Do this procedure in an-open area, away from buildings, other vehicle, and any other sources of strong magnetic fields.
