That is the compass I am talking about.  The position which the car is supposedly pointing is not the correct one, the reading is wrong.  This is due to a ZONE which can be configured in the MFI.  I have not been able to find a table which relates the numbers VW uses to the zones in the world, it is not in my users manual.

I have seen that "zone map" somewhere.  :undecided:  I'll have a shufty.  I take it all of Mexico will just be in the one zone?
