Compass/ Altimeter retrofit?

[JVB]

Hi,

I purchased a second Grenadier from dealer stock. On my other one I have an altimeter that I like. Does anyone know if one can be retrofitted and where to get one? My sales rep at the dealership did not know. Thanks!

I wanted that darn compass so badly! During the buying process I asked if that could be added and I think it would cost $1200. They said they had to remove the dash and that it was a real pain to do afterwards.

I want to mount one on my dash but am clueless as far as choosing the right one.

I have heard it is a pain to remove/replace; I would also imagine that the harness is not present for it, although I could be completely wrong about that aspect

My 2 cents, although it looks cool, I hardly ever even glance at it anymore and probably would chose to save the money now rather than option it. For whatever reason the backlight on it seems to be backwards, bright when the headlights are on and dim when the headlights are off. Because of this, it's really hard to see during the day.

All of this ^^^^

I find it worth the money just to watch it spin-up/spin-down with a power cycle

There's an altimeter in the Atitude window of the Offroad menu. A compass too if you can read a bearing.

Just go into offroad mode and select one of these two screens
Everything you need and it is free

Just think it looks cool and have it on one of my vehicles but not 1200 dollars cool

Did not know about the Menu option, it looks great!

Dave — didn’t know about that menu! Thanks!

It really worries/bothers me that dealers aren't going through detailed walk throughs on these vehicles... Another person posted on one of the FB groups that their dealer never told them about how to turn on the aux lights in the grille, and another sales person told an owner "they are easy to figure out" and gave no walk through.

The top "altitude" reading in @DaveB's first image above shows the "bearing" on our screen along with the outside temp and phone status. It will read 0-360º depending on which direction the vehicle is driving...usually.
