I'm finding the HUD to be really great, but there are a couple of things that are annoying though.

1. At night you have to turn down the brightness quite low from what the day setting is because otherwise you can see the luminescence of the rest of the HUD projector screen.

2. And during the day (Bright days) the surround of the HUD housing reflects onto the windscreen.

These are minor failings that do not retract from the fact that the HUD is a must have option.

For those that haven't seen the HUD in operation it shows you quite a few things that the brochure doesn't highlight. I also like the ability to turn the HUD off and to adjust it's brightness and it's visual position.

Here are a few things that it displays :

1. All navigation cues when you initiate guidance. In full colour (Well orange,white, light blue and grey)

2. Speed (including cruise settigs)

3. Seat belt and Door open warnings

4. Audio (Shows current station or track)

I'm sure there's a few more that I'm missing or haven't noticed yet too.
Hi Andy!

Great to see the beast mate - Ive had my eye out for it around town

I agree on all fronts witht he HUD. It is a must have, way better than expected.

Additionally I noticed once my iphone bluetooths (thats a word now) in to the car, i can hit the phone button and my call history appears in the HUD and I can scroll back to who I wanna call and hit it.

I have turned off the speech Nav instructions and just use the HUD Nav prompts. Really spins ppl out how good my sense of direction has become.

Once again grats on the great machine - we should catch up for a beer and check out the respective rides.

Cheers
Chris.
