has anyone everthought about putting one of these in our cars...or is it even possible?

 

I have seen ones that you stick on the dash and they project onto the window. Otherwise, it is ceratinly possible, but I would bet you would spend several $K doing it.

The Grand Prix and Impala SS (Caprice style) had them. Since then, I think only the Corvette has unless I am mistaken. I know for the Vettes, the front windscreen is produced specifically to optomize visibility of the HUD. So it will likely work better than the aftermarket ones you can buy.

I thought is was the coolest thing, but I have driven Corvettes with it, and you don't notice it after a while. It sits low on the window, so it really isn't much further to look down at your gauges. The tach is hard to see, and you need to shut off all the b.s. stuff it displays for it to be useful. I suppose on the track it offers some advantage.

 

yea i guess so...i know the bucik rendezvous have one..i saw one today

 

I am getting a HUD..... it is called a shift light. .... LOL

 

hay this aint Halo






.

 

Cadillacs have them too

 

ha ha thats real funny buddy..lol

 

my mom has an 06, and it doesnt have one

ive never seen a car that has one, but i think it would be dope

 

I used to have HUD in my 1995 Pontiac Bonneville SSEi, it was a sweet feature, ever since I had that car I have loved the whine of a supercharger...mmm

 

Why? Are you that Lazy that you can't just glance down?

 

I thought they had those nightvision things that projected from an infrared camera onto the windscreen instead? That is differen't than a HUD. Maybe I am wrong.

 

seems to me this guy has hud

 

thats photoshoped haha

...and it would be "has a hud"
hud = heads up display

 

I thought you had to have a special windshield to have a HUD.. I thought I heard my parents talking about how it would suck if the window cracked, cuz it would cost more than a non-HUD car.

 

thank you mr. wizard

 

P-SHOP

 

It's just a reflective sticker on the glass, the actual HUD is in the dash..

 

I know it's in the dash.. but I dont remember seeing a sticker on the windshield, unless it was incredibly thin.. or spanned the entire windshield, because it was smooth

 

It's clear but has a reflective property to it on an angle..

 

Azteks (sp) have em too. It's just an image reflecting. I would say it's kind of a waste to retrofit that. If you get it with your car then cool... if not then whatever

 

I used to have a '98 GTP with the HUD, and there was no sticker on the windshield. Glass is naturally relflective, ust like if you put Armor All on your dash and then get a glare off it in direct sunlight on your windshield. It was difficult to see in daylight even with the brightness turned all the way up, and of course polarized sunglasses would filter it out, but I definately noticed it wasn't there when I drove other vehicles, it was a nice feature to have.

 

I bet you have never driven to the store when you could have walked ...

its not a lazy thing its a convenience thing ... and furthermore it could be argued its safety thing ..if you have ever used one you would know they are a Convenient great idea ..not necessary but defiantly not pointless as your post would suggest

 

It's a GIZMO.. Nothing more. I can see an F-16 Pilot needing HUD but in a car there isn't really that much info asside from the "Speed" that you really need to look at... So glance down there "Safety Pants"

 

The HUD that came with the Vette that I saw had a small clear decal on the glass, that is the only reason I pointed it out.

Peace.

 

like this vette?
