Digital HUD like M5

BUSA · 20th August 2007, 15:08

Just came across this: -

Its a digital Heads Up Display which can be put in any car, costs just 7k

Now you neednot buy a Civic for a digital speedo

7k just to get a digital speedometer ? Am i missing something ?
Anyways, i still love to see the old way, dial rotating when you accelerate.

I saw an led projector type of display which shows reverse distance, front bumper distance, speed and temperature. Costs around 8.5k. It is a small box which projects led light on the windscreen.

Yeah, but heads up safety, that split second can sometimes avert danger!
:P
On a serious note; would have loved the RPM display as well integrated with the speed.

nice! but 7k's a bit steep for an HUD!

hellspawn · 21st August 2007, 02:41

7k for a hud...too pricey and not at all justifiable apart from the bling factor.

rishibravo · 21st August 2007, 09:54

sweet but will put a big hole in my pocket... My GPS module does the same thing for me so I dont have to go for this

suren181 · 21st August 2007, 11:02

A good product to own. But being me, I would not rush to have this installed in my vehicle, but would wait for the prices to drop, as is the case usually seen in ICE and other gadgets.

Abix · 21st August 2007, 13:23

dude, where do u get this from?? i just saw this a few days back on my friends M5, if it looks nethin like that then id love to have it! do tell where u got it from

ST7677 · 21st August 2007, 13:34

Why buy imitations, go for the Civic, that's where the real bling is

Though, I would like to have a HUD which projects infra red based night vision on the windscreen for safer night driving. There are few products available in ultra select top end cars, but no after market similar product that I am aware of...

Hey this is nice, but the price is too high for a thing like this.

Besides, me too! I prefer the speedo dial going up faasssst when you accelerate. I feel that you feel the pickup more in the dial version compared to the digital display where only the numbers change and you dont get that feeling of pickup being fast.

like speed, tach, fuel, oil pressure, voltage, and temp. You can also adjust its location, move it up and down, and adjust its brightness apparently
