Who is ordering the compass?

I think an analog clock would go great there instead. Could an aftermarket vendor offer one in the future? In which case I'd just skip the compass.

Like in the Defender.

A nice idea. I did opt for the compass however.

Yeah the compass has a very nice backlite at night, and I specced it because I thought it smartened up the interior

Isn’t there a compass screen on the infotainment?
Seems like a big expense to get a second compass.

It's more an aesthetic thing for me. Not a fan if the blue and red logo in a sea of grey plastic, and the compass fits in very nicely with the interior. It's good for doing roadbooks while also using other systems on the nav

Exactly as SPJNR says

During the early stages of my order I decided I would go for as base a model as I could possibly achieve with the thought of modifying everything over the coming years. By the time I pressed the button, had everything bar the winches and roof-rack.

Yes it would have been nice if the standard option was a classy analogue clock instead of a logo.

The beauty of this vehicle is enhanced by the endless possibilities.

Technically you don't need it as the Head Unit (center display) will show the altitude, and in case of a nav system the heading as well. The latter one will only refer to the last heading you moved to (i.e. no static heading for nav systems). But maybe the static heading data is available in the Head Unit anyway, I don't know.

I agree to @Spjnr for the aesthetic part. And it's convenient to have it always visible without having to tinker around with the center display.

Typo corrected.

I thought about it, right until I saw the nice software compass during a test drive. I think I can find something more useful to put there instead.

Same here. The sheer size of the Ineos logo right in the centre of everything seemed a bit tacky to me.

The logo does look tacky, I would have loved the compass just because it does look better than the logo but I aimed to keep the cost down. I also figured the main screen has one, and I never needed one before so what would I do with two. Ideally I want a nice analogue clock in there. But those needing USB you could install or wait for something to come to market that also has a cover when not in use.

Some usb ports perhaps

Norville · May 2, 2023

What I really want to know is if the compass or other potential module can be added later (e.g. the wiring harness includes a powered plug in that location). Just need someone to pop out the logo and take a look-see, ha.

Where to hell do you find those pictures all the time? Did you hack into Ineos SharePoint?
I assume this is a picture of the next design evolution for the 2024 model or am I wrong?

me too got the compass so i didnt have to look at that

Greg · May 2, 2023

Once i find out the diameter i will search for a classic style small clock to mount in there. Seeing the picture hopefully the ineos badge will just clip out.

Compass specced - because the grandkids will have no idea what it does
