Default compass feature

hey guys, i cant seem to be able to bring up the compass feature on the dashboard of my 01 LS430 (no nav)...with the ignition on, i hold the disp 2 button on the steering wheel down, and the display only switches between the outside temp, and a blank screen...

i also tried it on a friends 01 LS, and his is the same way, yet the owners manual says that there should be a compass feature for those cars without nav...both of our cars is the UL package...

any ideas on how to access the compass???

Anyone know the answer to this question?

On my new 2001 LS 430 (no nav), I have the same question! I don't think it's included, but that seems very strange. My 1997 Ford Expedition has a compass!

Ok, here's the scoop. I communicated with another Canadian member yesterday, and the Canadian LS 430 in 2001 did not have a compass, even though the manual tells you how to display it and how to drive in circles to recalibrate if necessary. I did notice one small line next in the compass information that said "if equipped", so I guess this was the case!

I have an 01 UL with nav. and cannot seem to display it either and I doubt it is a Canadian version. Is that the case with all 01's?
