i think the hud is a good feature to have,but how many folks actually look down at their speed, if you are on an interstate your gonna set the cruise anyway,as i said,a good neat feature but not a must have for me,...but i do hope that g.m. offers the hurst shifter for the 2010 that is gonna be standard in the 2011,

Hell yeah I'm Guilty.....

Its neat, GM could easily make it do more telemetry like an accelerometer, boost input, shift light and sword fighting stick figures!!!
I wonder what the chances are of a dash mounted pod for existing cars??

IT's been stated that all that is needed is a new dash and windshield along with the unit itself. Which may or may not be a part of the dash when purchased. I plan to upgrade my 2010 as soon as I can. As I mentioned earlier I already need a new windshield, since 3 days after I picked up my car.

For those considering this mod, you will find that once you drive a car with the HUD you will wonder how you were able to live without it. I installed one on my C6 Corvette and now I rarely ever use the speedometer and tach. The HUD is adjustable up/down, brightness is ajustable and it does not require a special windshield. The windshield rumor was rampant on the Corvette forums too. The may be some minor improvement with the "special windshield", but not enough to warrant changing the windshield or delaying installation of this mod.
The Corvette HUD requires splicing of 6 conductors from a custom harness into the existing wiring behind the instrument panel speedometer/tach. The ability to install a HUD into a 2010 Camaro will depend on whether the threaded mounting posts for the projector are there for the 2010 model. I suspect they are. The projector requires a fairly large piece of real estate behind the instrument panel. Since the HUD was planned for the Camaro from the beginning, it makes sense that the posts are there. If the posts are there, the install will require installing the control switch, projector, custom wiring harness, and whatever mod is needed for the dashboard. The mod only takes a couple hours to install on a Corvette. It should be similar for a Camaro. If someone has a wiring diagram for the connectors behind the speedometer/tach, we can start working on the harness. I have manufactured and sold over 50 HUD harnesses on the Corvette forum. I am confident that Camaro harness will be doable. I suspect the dash piece may be the most costly part of this mod for 2010 Camaros. For the Corvette, the total cost of the mod is $375 for all the parts. There is one other challenge. GM does not allow the dealers to sell the projectors for installation into non-HUD cars. Some dealers listen to GM and refuse to sell the projectors. There are others that work with the forums to get this mod into their rides. For the time being, I need more information. Are the mounting posts there in the 2010 Camaros? Has anyone had their dash apart? Does anyone have a service manual showing the instrument panel connector wiring? |

What's the verdict on whether or not HUD can be retrofitted into a 2010? A friendly diesel truck threw a large rock at my windshield and I need to replace it anyhow.....
