    I have a $10 magnetic compass mounted on top with double stick tape on my 2012 Prius v.

    It's been there for 12 years and still works perfectly.

    Complicated high tech is absolutely mindless

    Thanks.

    I don’t think it’s magnetic interference and the circle thing did nothing. I’m liking Zone Settings as the culprit but haven’t found out how to set that.

    I totally removed the dcm module and used the dongle. The car is a 26 le.

    What year and trim is your car and does your in dash compass work right?
