Just for anyones info. The members installed pic on the bottom is mine. Yes, I used manual mode on my camera. Yes it has a slight double image overlapped, from the hud reflecting on the inside surface and the outer surface. I knew it wouldn't be exact but I will eventually get the correct glass due to a rock chip already in lower corner.

Glad you’re happy with it but I stand by my comments and this is a open forum for comments, question, and response. regardless if you like them or not. I think everyone has done a great job.. I just think to do the job right needs the right windshield.. PS: I have a digital camera that has manual mode so not sure where you got your info from on that one but you can buy them all day long. As posted above the picture was taken in manual mode

Please read what I wrote and plan to do in the future when I have to replace the windshield. I quote "change your Windshield, which at some point I will do, I just do not need to do it today." As for the digital camera, I stand corrected. I myself still prefer to use the ones that you still need to put film in and after taking the picture have it developed, of course I am a bit old fashioned compared to the younger generations.

To end this minor argument and get back to the subject at hand lets look at the bullet points here
Is a new windshield required to make it work and be usable: NO To make it be viewed optimally (like in a vehicle equipt with it from the factory) is a new windshield required: YES Ofer has put alot of work into this and had done an outstanding job. Anyone who wants to attempt this can sum it all up in this post, we all have our personal opinions on the matter. You can do this without the windshield to try to save costs or whatever your reason may be. If it were my car I wouldnt replace it until I needed to and could live with it because it is 1000 times better than not having a hud. Now if it came to the point where I needed to replace it anyway I definatly would use the hud one even if it costs more. No sence in waisting a perfectly good windshield, its not like changing your oil filter because you dont like the brand lol |

I appreciate your ingenuity and desire to make this work, however I believe the Camaro is a true, modern muscle car and personally don't want HUD, back up sensors and all this other crap engineers have to come up with to justify their 6 figure paycheck, on my soon-to-be-a classic Gen 5. Just my opinion, hope it works out for you........

Not trying to insult anyone as I have said all along Very nice Job and thanks for all the info.. Fact is to really make it a finished install I would replace the windshield to get rid of the double imagining.. If you spend that kind of time taking the dash out and then spend all the money for the HUD unit why stop short of a really nice install?

Jesus H Christ! To the OP good job! I dont see why GM insist on lumping certain options together. Why cant they just offer a car and you can pick what you want on it or buy certain trim levels. Not all of us want to buy a heavily optioned car just to get one feature. |
