HUD for E89

[newbie22]

anyone using a HUD with a E89? I'm looking at the Hudway drive but i'm not sure it will fit.
any advice appriciated.

Have always fancied an hud and the Hudway isn't expennsive. Like you, though, I wonder if it will be usable in front of what seems to be a low windscreen.

 

[newbie22]

i can attest that the Hudway cast does not fit. the windscreen is too sloped to accommodate it. I've also purchased a hudway glass and hudway drive. i'll post pics if they fit.

 

[newbie22]

they will fit, but only if you have no interest in seeing the road. lol

Hi OP
I’ve been using a hud for about a month now and absolutely love it .it’s a great little add on toy in my opinion . Tried to take a still from a video I did but it’s come out fuzzy. Don’t let this sway you, it’s perfect in reality

So what HUD is it? How does that work? any cords?

Ok Dave, spill the beans, I want this in mine !

excellent detective work from the picture. certainly looks like it. I started trying to find that one, but gave up.

The plastic film adhering to the windscreen is a bit tacky...I think there are some that work without that?

 

[clarker63]

tacky...I

is the film what it projects onto? I assumed it somehow just bounced off the screen but ive not checked the angles..

 

[AnubisZed]

Both the windscreen photos that Dave has put up don't seem to show a film on the screen

That's what I thought too, but when I searched ebay I found the following which lists reflective film in the package.

I guess worth a try without the film... unless Dave 2 Dogs can confirm if the film is needed (or not)?

Cheers!

Spurred on by this article I did a bit of research…the. vast majority ‘need’ this film to work…some seem to not require it..they seem to have more of an extended bezel that aids the projection / optimises the image …

Think the plastic disc is to stop any distortion on the projection…I didn’t like it on the windscreen so went without it , I personally think it’s fine without. Others might not think so . But for what it costs, it’s worth a look, if it’s not for you… send it back

Yep , that’s the one I have… and B21 is correct in my opinion… better without the plastic disc
