I've never had it but seems kinda nice. I assume you can pick and chose what is displayed. I also assume you can shut it off, as I can see where it could be a bit of a distraction when there no need for it. It may be in your field of view but at a different focus range. But much better of course than looking down at your dash.
I had my first experience with a HUD in a Camaro SS that I rented a few weeks back. It is height and brightness adjustable, and I had it right at the bottom edge of the windshield and it wasn't distracting at all.
One thing I did confirm though is I will never own a V8 with an automatic. I didn't like it - even with the flappy paddles.
Yep, adjustable height and brightness, can switch through a few screens with info like RPM, speed g-forces etc. Information such as audio input etc also flash up as they are being used
I've experienced the HUD on a few BMWs and I cant say I was the biggest fan of having this thing on my windshield. Maybe it was simply the placement of the BMWs and the fact that it was bright Orange... I'm glad there are options to move and shut off if necessary...
It's a cool feature to have. This type of HUD will continue to get more popular. I also read about augmented reality which is basically this technology taken to the next level. Like Google Glass for your car windshield.
I'll settle for having my speed on the windshield for now though. It's nice not having to look away from the road to see how fast you are going. Probably safer too.
The only thing I don't like about HUD displays is the fact that the image being projected has to travel through or reflect off at least 2 lenses/windscreen etc, so there is always going to be some sort of ghosting/overlapping. It can be tweaked by adjusting the height and brightness but I've never seen one I'd call "crisp"
fancy. but nothing tells me what RPM I'm at better than my exhaust
