Did you guys ever stop to think that your compass in the rearveiw mirror could be turned off?


In the ES350 it has the compass in the rearveiw that can be turn on and off by pressing and holding the auto button on the mirror.....

tried already, it doesn't work. more than likely (if it's in all the ls460 compass), there is no power

If you look at aftermarket rear view mirrors with compass displays, you'll find they run anywhere from $200-350. apiece. Even though Lexus would pay less for them wholesale, I somehow don't think they would install an extra-cost item in tens of thousands of cars and just not hook it up.

I've looked at my mirror at all different angles with a flashlight and I don't see anything. Maybe '08's have a different mirror. But if it IS the same one, I'd think it's more likely they just use the same shell as the compass mirrors, and the "guts" for the compass display aren't in there.

I'd be happy for someone to prove me wrong, though ...
