Head-Up Display

• Projects vehicle information onto the windshield low in the driver's line of sight to help you keep your eyes on the road
• Adjustable vertical position and brightness of the display
• Includes color readouts which can display speed, gear, tach, shift lights, turn signals, bright headlamps, audio, turn-by-turn navigation, g-meter, speed limit, and lap times
• 3 selectable modes: Tour, Sport, and Track

A heads-up display I have to admit is perhaps the only 'toy' I would find of use. Things can happen so, so very fast in the Vette that I never get a chance to look down at the instruments......so indicated speed, rpm and oil pressure will only be seen after the event. I do have a small GPS with mph read-out just below eye level on the dash, but again no time to read when accelerating hard......and its too slow to read unless on cruise. I simply rely on gear shift light flashing-on at 6000 rpm and rev limiter cutting-in at 6250 rpm.........so, yes a heads-up display would be useful

The first HUDS were with the C4s and really slow updating
C5s are better but still a bit slow such as RPMs
This is due to the data coming from the PCM, over the network to the BCM
which then sends it to the IPC (dash controller) and then to the HUD unit so some latency

Better than is, I modified a REV limiter unit so I can set to what every RPM I wanted to trigger the light on
and is at eye level and better being away from bright sunlight
