Actually it doesn't have a HUD, I meant the small info display on the dash. Losing the date is no sweat to me. To each his own.
There are so many choices for aftermarket stereos. Ordinary AM/FM or Satelite or even HD radio? cd/mp3/usb/sd etc., Ipod control, single din or double, lcd display color and on and on. I decided against a double-din because I figure the big display would just be one more distraction while I drive. The unit I got (Dual) has a blue display which makes the dash lights look real patriotic against all the red. I toyed with getting changeable colors but decided not worth it. The Dual unit has about twice the power of the factory radio (18 watts x 4 vs 9 watts) and I like that I can put in 2000 mp3's on an SD card and listen for days without repeating a song.
