Compass ??
The info for the "Message Center" mentions that it has a compass. However, mine doesn't seem to have that function.
No big loss... the Nav system has a compass. Which leads to my question. Is having the Nav system what causes the Message Center to not offer its compass function?

No... you don't understand properly... you have to park the vehicle in a remote wooded environment for several years.... after the moss grows on it, you have your compass
Tragically its not "turn" compatible and you must always drive the vehicle thereafter in the same direction.
Just kidding. In my case I have the NAV so as long as the CD is in I have a compass.

Re: Compass ??
BTW, I didn't mention this, but all the fuel mileage readouts from the "Message Center" are also apparently disabled when you have the Nav radio. I am not too sure why Ford did this. I would have welcomed the choice to have the "Message Center" display my fuel mileage, while the Nav radio displayed, well, the Nav maps.
Matter of fact, the "Message Center" has only two real possible displays. Miles-to-empty and battery-charge. I wish I had a choice of something else.
