HUD Position Adjust
Hi All,
LCI F30 here with quite annoying HUD. The HUD display is almost at the very left edge of the HUD BOX section, which means if Im slightly leaned over on the centre armrest I can only see partial display, The speed limit is cut in half. So in order to fully view it, I need to be dead on in the centre. The only options in iDrive for adjustment are Up&Down, Angle rotation and brightness. Its like a dream to me that in E series, there was also an option to slide left and right..? Can this be coded or changed? Many Thanks |

Don't think so buddy... Nav and other warning messages fill up the right half so when you have more stuff going on in the HUD you'll see there's not much lateral space left over

No left/right adjustment to my knowledge either.
Can't say I've ever noticed part of the display being hidden, so you must be hitched over quite a bit in your seat. |

I’ll take a pic to show. Regardless of what info is there, the display is way over to the left.. when you look straight into, its not even centred with the steering wheel.
Anyways, I found out a way on how to adjust it. Theres a tech info if customer complains about HUD position, and the horizontal position can be adjusted in ISTA. So I’ll give this a bash next week. Thanks |

Here it is the actual HUD image.
You can see how far to left is the projection in relation to the HUD background. Even with all the nav/phone info, there still about an inch left to the right.. |

My F31 is very similar to this.
With my head absolutely dead centre of the headrest, I can see all the display, but I must naturally sit slightly to the left of centre, as it's border line most of the time. If I close my right eye, the speed limit display gets cut in half, so my left eye can't see the entire image. As you said, the entire HUD display is way over to the left of the available display area, and the digital speed reading is several inches left of the steering wheel /dash top. I can live with it, but if it can be adjusted to the right, it would be much better. Looking through the ISTA+ software, there's all sorts of adjustments available for the HUD, but it's not completely clear if left to right is one of them. If I get a chance tomorrow, I'll connect it to the car and see what's available. |

Just hooked up to the car, and I can adjust the shape and rotation of the HUD display, but I can't adjust the left/right position. It's just not an option that BMW have provided unfortunately. Not in software at least.

All those options appear to be shape correction rather than position. |

It moves to the side, and I havent notice any shape changes. It must be just for visualization purposes I guess. |

When I enter the adjustment mode, the HUD display changes to a blue rectangle. All the adjustments I tried just stopped it being a rectangle. |
