Compass intermittent function

[dieterf]

I set my custom display to display the compass and sometimes it works properly and sometimes it does not. Anyone experiencing the same?

Any common environmental features when this happens? Buildings, trees, etc?

No, suburbs driving.

No, suburbs driving.

Is it usually the first X minutes after starting the car when it had been off for an extended period? If so it could be it has to recalibrate the compass for some reason and needs you to drive in circles a few times (doing donuts would work).

That sounds like a really good guess, be interested to see if other folks observe this. Hell, GPS is not really accurate for the first 50 or so feet traveled until triangulation and lock happens when you startup

Actually, when I start the car the compass works fine then it stops working randomly. Once it stops, it stays off until the car is off and then on again.

I just picked up Macan 4 yesterday. Same issue.
