I think only the base model comes with mirror compass.

I certainly have more than the base model and I have a compass on my rearview mirror. It's stated as standard equipment on my sticker.

"Rear View Mirror - Auto Dimming, Homelink Garage Door Opener with Compass"

Your compass may need calibration. Turn to page 544 in your owner's manual for the steps, or take it by your dealer.

Does your car have Nav? I'm guessing Lexus doesn't put a compass in the mirror for cars with Nav because the Nav screen has a compass.

My 4RX Luxury shows:]"Rear View Mirror - Auto Dimming, Homelink Garage Door Opener with Compass" on my sticker, too.

It is listed under the Standard features and must be over ridden by the "Installed Options".

There is no compass in my rear view mirror.

I think it's an error on the stickers. I've always known Lexus to delete the compass on the mirror when the car has Nav with one exception (my 03 ES300)

On the 2016 Lexus spec sheet, it's listed as such:

 Electrochromic rearview mirror with compass (without Navigation)

I agree, I believe they do not install the mirror with compass if you have navi.

Kind of weird not a big deal just weird that one of the replies the person states he does indeed have it on his mirror and his sticker reads the same as mine thank you all for the information

Probably true. I don't have navigation.

It actually might be a big deal...they take omissions on the Monroney sticker very seriously...
