Does anyone know how to calibrate the compass on a 2021 F1 50 with an 8 inch screen? apparently since I've had mine for four days I've been going north the entire time and I cannot find any settings to calibrate it
Hopefully it’s not like my drone.
Have to flip it upside down a few times and do figure 8s ?

Has anyone had the compass permanently fixed at a dealership?

Mine continues to go in and out. It will work for a couple days then stop for a couple days then work again. I am not having any other issues, so I plan to bring it up to the dealer at the first oil change but I'm probably a couple months away from that.

I took my 21 STX to the dealer for the same issues. They had my truck for over 3 weeks and replaced the gauge cluster. Still has the same issues.

My transmission temp gauge and compass both do not work - has anyone come up with a concrete fix for this yet or are we waiting for a software update? Not a huge issue but on a brand new truck it should definitely work….

Sync reset sorted my Compass issue. Keep in mind you will have to reconnect your Ford Pass app, and pair your Bluetooth devices once again. There may be some other changes such as rear occupant warnings that you will need to turn off again as well.

As far as the trans temp gauge, those who daily drive short distances will hardly see this needle move. Long trips, under load, a few hard pulls in sport mode will get that needle off C. Give it a try. Good luck all.

Hope the reset works for you, most everyone I know of, it's a temp fix.

None of that is accurate information.

Just bought a 2021 last week. It has compass and trans temp issues. Took it to the dealer this morning and was told a fix would be downloaded mid July.

Yea, it’s starting to sound more like an IPC problem. I haven’t looked on forscan to see if that is a module that can be reset.
its not and IPC problem I promise
