rear view mirror compass flashes?

brentseay · 06-15-2010, 11:50 AM

Hey guys, anyone know why my rear view mirror compass would flash? I thought it was some kind of radar detector at first cause it only does it on the interstate maybe once a week.

The compass direction will be steadily lit... then for no reason it will flash rapidly on and off for about 30 seconds annoying the hell out of me. Then, it will be steady again.

Haven't found anyone else with this problem, yet.

Hey I've also had this issue at really random times sometimes for extended periods sometimes just for a flash… I always drive with my 9500xi.

This has happened to me before. It happened to me once when I first started the car and started driving over a bumpy portion of the freeway. It kept flickering for a minute or two and I thought it might have been a connection issue but it stopped and hasnt done it since. It kind of bugs me that I dont know what caused it though =\ Hopefully someone can chime in with an answer.
