Integrated Mirror Compass
I was wondering if the is a way to activate the mirror compass like some of the other models have instead of "only" having it on idrive or instrument cluster.
I personally loved the orange compass indication on the mirror. looking at my mirror I cant see the little field where it would be though it looks like there is a little hole on the bottom that would reset it in "past older models". Anybody "played" around with this? |

IIRC, our mirrors don't have the square "cutout" for where the compass directions normally get lit up, so there's nothing to really play around with to enable.

This... You would have to get a completely new mirror.

Too bad...I agree it'd be a nice to have. Love this feature on my A4.

What is weird is that my 2013 E70 had the compass mirrors, I wonder why they did away with it... maybe because you can already access on the dash.

I cannot use the digital compass in the dash because I depend on always knowing how many miles are left with the gas in the tank as it is more helpful than gas gauge.
