Heads Up Displays

Anyone have any experience with HUD's. I think I like the ones that project directly on the windshield. But there a bunch of options. I think I like Garmin's. Anybody know anything about them?

Also, i'm probably wrong, but I searched to see if there was an existing thread on this topic and I didn't find one.

 

Navdy seems to be popping up everywhere

 

I've had HUD in my last 2 vehicles- I turn it off- if you wear polarized sunglasses and drive during the day- you cannot see the display as the polarized lenses remove the HUD. at night it's awesome tho.

 

Had it in a Grand Prix (stock). Was cool at night if you turn off all the other lights in vehicle. Stupid high beam light was super bright and could not be disabled.

 

My last car had it, 2016 Prius. It's a cool feature but the novelty wears off quickly. It was always hard to see during the day and too distracting at night. Not really worth spending extra money on.

 

I'd like it better if mine were red.

 

Thanks for the comments. I'm thinking I'll skip it.

 

I had it in a rental Camaro once and loved it, but wouldn't spend extra to buy one.

 

Agree...Navdy appears to be the best one...at least in the reviews I've seen...and it costs $500 to $700. No thanks.

 

Just bought my wife a CX-5 with a HUD. It is great, clear bright, full color display. I wouldnt pay extra for it, but it was included in the heated steering wheel package. Cannot have a wife with cold hands.

 

Do the aftermarket HUDs show the actual speed of the vehicle or the same speed as the speedometer?
I run bigger wheels and the speedometer is slightly off (especially at higher speeds). It would be nice if they showed my actual speed.

 

My BMW had it and it might be the only thing I miss about it.
