This is not a probability of success.

Before we bought the Audi, I test drove a BMW X3 that had a HUD.

*Update* Well, that didn't take long. Unit is janky and going back to Woot.
I picked up one of these HUD units during a Woot-off a while back and am finally getting around to installing it.
The display connects to the OBD-II port and displays a variety of info. The box includes a piece of reflective transparent film onto which the unit displays the following info:
The next post will include installation details, and the third post will show the display in action.
I'm especially interested in learning my car's Kelio meter per hour, its Lgnition angle, and most crucially the throttle positison.
There's a very good chance that this thing will turn out to be an absolute turd, but it looks like fun so I'll give it a shot.
Looking forward to seeing your progress. I'm not sure that I'd put one of these in my 911, but I might consider it in our other cars. Before we bought the Audi, I test drove a BMW X3 that had a HUD. It was really cool.
Considering the other option is taking your eyes off the road and looking down at the instrument cluster or scrolling through the OBC, I'll take this any day of the week.

I'm anxious to see how this works out. I really like the idea but the reviews I've read weren't good. The cars that have that option from the factory have special windshield glass with some material sandwiched between the layers.
Locking this until I post up the pics, maybe tonight. Unless I die from the distracted.
I love the []close this thread after you post your message option. So much controls.
