The Remote Compass Module (RCM) (2) is a separate stand alone module mounted to the top side of the headliner (1). It is mounted in one of two locations depending on if the vehicle is equipped with CommandView® dual fixed second row skylights. If the vehicle is equipped with CommandView® skylights the module is located between the two glass panels. If the vehicle is not equipped with CommandView® skylights the module is located on the left side of the vehicle above the second row seats.

If the compass position sensor (Remote Compass Module) is inoperative and requires replacement, see REMOVAL  for the appropriate procedure.
