V39 Car Compass

Returned to Amazon. Dashboard errors were too numerous. The unit works great. However, the metal in my dashboard caused problems

This compass absolutely did not work for me. It did not work in the car, it did not work in the house, it did not work on the lawn, it did not work in a box, it did not work with a fox. I do not like it Sam I Am.The KanPas “compass” that I received was, in point of fact, NOT a compass at all. Why? Because it proclaimed that I was *always* facing the same direction, no matter which direction I was actually facing. (The KanPas compass devoutly asserted that all directions would ever and always be SSE. Praise be to SSE. All glory to the eternal SSE. Thanks be to the almighty SSE. Amen.)A compass has *one* very simple job to do, which is to detect and respond to the Earth’s natural magnetic fields and clearly display that reaction thereby providing the user with a consistent sense of direction. If it performs this simple job, we can rightly call it a “compass.”Important Note: It is okay if the sense of direction provided by a compass is based on magnetic north rather than “true” north, so long as the compass consistently detects magnetic north.The floaty ball object I received did not do this.Executive Summary: The KanPas “compass” I received (by proclaiming ALL directions ever and always to be SSE) was not only an abject failure as a compass, it was, in actual fact, NOT a compass at all.Because of its inability to perform the one simple job of a compass (to detect and respond to the Earth’s natural magnetic fields and clearly display this reaction, thereby providing the user with a consistent sense of direction) the KanPas object I was sent, although labeled a “compass” by the company, was not, in fact, a compass. It was a floaty ball thing that *looked like* compass. Thank you for reading.

Very happy with quality , and accuracy! Put on dash of 2025 Honda CRV , behind GPS Screen. Looks great and functions perfectly. To assure good mounting , i used ( E-Z Pass velcro from Lowes

I have a 2023 Toyota Sienne and the compass works best between the shifting lever and the box behind it that has a cover on it. t is very accurate and easy to use. I could not find a place on the dash that would give the correct reading. Overall I am very happy with it. Not so happy about Toyota not having a compassbuilt in the van.

This car compass does NOT work. Do not buy it ! It is a complete waste of money and time.It looks nice, but points in the wrong direction — whether used in the car, or in an open field nowhere near any magnetic interference.This is a scam product.

Outside of my new 2024 car it works well, but inside it’s effected by the various electronics located everywhere from ceiling to console…the em fields created lock a magnetic analog compass into pointing a single direction relative to the nearest field. It might work well in an older car that doesn’t have a touch screen display, digital dashboard, emergency call system, gps antitheft tracking, Bluetooth, wifi, and gods know what else, but it my car it’s useless. I got a digital compass with em field compensators and satellite feed instead (just $5 more than this one) and that works very well.

First off, this is the best compass for the $ you can buy, others are far more expensive. I mounted this incorrectly and it impacted its ability to accurately tell direction. This was unknown to me at the time so I reached out. The seller was responsive, incredibly nice and very helpful. He corrected me on what I was doing wrong and asked I check to see if it helps. I got so busy with work that I wasn't able to check for a couple of days. The seller took it upon himself to issue a 50% refund, maybe assuming things didn't work out. This gesture is so kind, I had to leave a review calling it out. Now I have to buy more stuff from him as a thank you :)

Never was accurate so took it out of my car. Will likely end up in the trash.
