Here's a issue I noticed on my new 08 HHR LT, the compass in the mirror it awefully slow at changing directions, I'll be heading south and it'll still say e,w or whichever direction I came from, it lags by 5-10 seconds. Anyone else have this issue or does theirs work right away?

Howdy! I have an '06 2LT with the compass in the mirror, as well. I'd say it lags in changing direction by 2-3 seconds, which I really don't consider an issue. My guess would be that because it's electronic, the lag in time has to do with the compass identifying the direction you're travelling in, and subsequently relaying the info to the electronic readout.

Might want to check and see if the compass is programed for your zone.

I went up to the dealer earlier and test drove another HHR that had a compass, the compass was right on key and changed the minute we changed direction. However mine has been getting worse on the lag, between 5-30 seconds before it changes, I spoke to the service department and they said they may need to reprogram it and if not they'll take care of it.
