Nope, got a message last night saying and I quote "Good day. Many thaks for purchashing from us.

and cancel this order. can you agree that?

So I've told them to refund me

I never ever used the HUD I purchased in the Z4 - it just never ticked the box with the cig charger - window display / holder sat on the dash...(it's used in my Mr2 which has a compartment - sits there perfectly with a viewer),

However, I purchased this HUD today and it's wireless and sits lovely on the dash!

Gonna try it out later!

I have used a OBDC HUD on my Mini for 3 years now, would not be without it. The added advantage for a OBDC version on a mini is it gives water temp if required (not an issue on the Z). I haven't got round to doing it on my Z4 as I find the speedo position is not too bad.

Some things you might want to consider:

I masked off all the stuff I didn't want to see with black card leaving only the two digits for the speed. I then cut down the reflective film to 50mm by 50mm and positioned it on the screen so my vision wasn't obscured. I know you are suggesting doing without it. But I found that a lot of contrast is lost and on bright days the ambient light would wash out the HUD, the reflective film helps a lot. Without the film you are also likely to get a double image of the digits giving a blurred appearance.

I agree with GPS based HUD for Z4, there is little advantage in an OBDC version.

Sorry if I am missing something here, but did you get this because your speedo isnt working?

Do you have a photo or video of it working in situ?

Wonder how it looks as like the idea of these

I have HUD on my 5 series. It is brilliant and works so well, especially with Pro Nav.
