Default Compass error

Compass in rear-view mirror seems to be 180 degrees off.
Any way to adjust/correct?

2001S type, 4.0l. V8

I stole this from another forum .Here is the compass calibration procedure. You will need to know
what your ‘‘zone’’ is, to compensate for the difference between
magnetic north and true north in your area. My east coast
USA ‘‘zone’’ is 10.
  1. On the underside of the mirror pod there are two small holes.
    Insert the end of a paper clip or pointed tool into the RH hole.
  2. Press the button in the hole until the word ‘‘Zone’’ appears in
    the display.
  3. Continue to press to select a number corresponding to the zone
    for the area where the vehicle is driven.
  4. Press the button in the LH hole until the ‘‘Cal’’ indicator
    appears in the display.
  5. Slowly drive the vehicle in a circle until the ‘‘Cal’’ indicator
    disappears. This should happen after two or three revolutions.
  6. The compass is now adjusted to compensate for the vehicle’s
    magnetic field.

Actually the US ZONES are 3 to 11.

Here is the TSB we got with the introduction of the X200.(the ones nobody reads)
