Default Rearview mirror problem

I had my windows tinted today and idk what happened but the mirrow says C instead of the direction I'm driving. I held the COMP button down and 9 popped up and I was able to scroll thru numbers.

What are those numbers I was going thru? How do I get the directions back on there? Thanks everyone

I was able to get the directions back on it but I'm still trying to figure out what the numbers are I was messing with.

the numbers mean what zone you are in, its the compensate the variation between true north and magnetic north. so since i live in florida i set mine to 8 or 9 depending on where i live in florida. since you live in texas you should set yours to 6. i found this info bc i just installed a auto dimming mirror for one of my friends and it came with calibration instructions.

Damn pogi, I had no idea about that. I actually remember going up from either 5 or 6 when I messed with it, forgot which one it was. Can anyone verify what everyones number should be set to? I looked in the manual but didn't find anything
