Why not have one of these? Everyone talks about wanting to keep their cubbyholes and about taking their eyes off the road to check guages, so why not have a HUD of some sort? The Lexus cars have them. Heck, a Corvett has one. Why doesn't someoen make a HUD for our trucks? I know several people that would pay and probalby over a 100 that would want it. Am I outside the loop or has this not been mentioned? :confused:

Wish it was an option....I would have gotten it. Even my wifes Grand Prix has it. Makes me think I am back in my Cobra. Now to install those rocket launchers. http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/images/smilies/hihi.gif

If there were something aftermarket I would have done it long ago... I haven't been able to find something though if it does exist.

I looked into this a bit. You could likely make another GM unit work. You'd have to hack up the dash pretty bad. The other issue is that the HUD windsheilds have a reflective coating built into them. So you'd have to add some kind of stick on thing to make it work. It's too bad GM didn't do this. I had HUD in a car back in 92 and I loved it. Let's hope GM makes this an option when they redesign. One thing is for sure I guarantee GM trucks will be the first to hit $100,000 if they start putting in toys like this. :D

It's only the night vision part though.

I'm not sure they still make it, but there's a Kenwood HUD that would do radio stuff, speed and temp.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>

Burner, you might look into some glasses so you can read what forum you're in...maybe you could get an HUD that shows you that you're posting something in Power and Performance that has nothing to do with either and belongs in Accessories and Aftermarket. Maybe both used together would help the most...<o:p></o:p>

The latest version of the HUD in the Pontiac's is pretty good, lots of info and really not that intrusive as you drive. Be a nice option on more vehicles from GM and the price would come down with more availability across the board.
