Default Compass

Seems as though the compass in the BEEEAST is 180 degrees out of wack.
What's the fix for this?

Most common cause is the compass has been removed for some reason, then installed 180° from the correct position.

A common cause for it to be off less than 180° is having something metallic or magnetic on top of the center panel.

You could try a Manual Calibration and see if that does anything. The procedure is in the owners manual. (can be downloaded from the jeep website if you don't have one.)
