My wonderful HUD...(pretty random lol)

[98L36]

Ok, so I'm pretty bored and was just thinking about lighting inside my car which got me thinking about the dials and stuff which got me thinking about the HUD.

Although I've only owned the car for (lemme think...) 4 days now, I just wanted to say how awesome the idea of a HUD is, and furthermore how awesome it actually is.

Which brings me to another semi-random tangent....

The other day driving on the highway (actually I was bringing the car home) and I noticed how the HUD said 67 but the speedo said closer to 65 (speed limit was 65, but I got the bird from an idiot for slowing him down by driving 67 in the right lane....go figure ).
Now I know, it was only two-ish MPH off, but still it bothered me lol.

So, without further ado, does anyone else care to share their own HUD story?
(I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess nobody will, but who cares ).

Do you have stock rims and tires? If not that may explain why the gauges are off from eachother.

Bob... both the hud and speedo are fed off the same wire from the VSS. Difference is the speedo has a little bit of mechanical built into it.

The HUD is accurate and the speedo is slightly off.

Your HUD story would be cooler if we knew what you drove...

HUD is the only way to fly. Which is why I've added it to 9-10 Regals.

Im with Bill.. Had a bonnie which was my first car with a HUD. When that motor went my only requirement for the next vehicle was it had to have decent power and MUST have a HUD hence the GP

[BillBoost37]

Tayl... you should have thought about comfy seat too .

[tayl5645]

the 05 seats arnt bad at all. Almost as good as the Bonnies. Althought I dont have 9 presets for my seats lol

The HUD is accurate, ive checked with many of those signs with radar that tell you your speed. The speedo is a little off, only 1-3 depending on speed.

Well I don't have any pics of it yet (working on that), but you can check my sig to see what it is.

[QUICKSILVER462]

My HUD is exact same as speedo, that is, when it decides to "illuminate".

[Iceman6669]

My HUD (when it works...) is just a few MPH's different than my speedo. Like 2-3...

bill would a 98 regal GS have all the wires installed for a HUD or would i have to get into splicing wires to get it to work? and would i need a new dash cover or do you hack a hole it in and put some kind of trim around it? i've never even seen one in a regal so i have no clue.

My speedo is usually 1 mph off of my HUD.

[Spencerad4]

Mine is right on the money.. I dont know how I ever got along before having one..

[PurpleGuy]

Me neither...I added mine.

[Spencerad4]

That just seems like it would be a pain unless the wiring is already there..

[PurpleGuy]

It was in mine

[RegorHtims]

Do they all have they wiring? (04+?) Please?
