2013 Camaro HUD Issue (W/Pictures)
Guys, and gals....Like your input here. Well first let me say that I have owned as 2009, 2010 Corvette, and a 2012 Camaro SS all with HUDS. Now with my 2013 Camaro the HUD seems very dim! Please see attached pictures. Things I tested are below.
1. Made sure windshield is cleaned inside and out 2. Cleaned HUD glass with microfiber towel. 3. Made sure brightness was all the way up and even tried wiggling the switch to see if it was bad. 4. Tested sensor on dash to make sure it was working correctly by placing a rag over it to watch the night mode come on. 5. Looks very faint even in the garage with all the lights off, but off course being pitch black I can see it  During the day it is very hard to see no matter what mode I'm in.6. Turned off Auto headlights just to check. I can finally say before you look at the pictures that it doesn't matter which way I'm facing in sun away from sun, cloudy day etc its always really faint. Please let me know if anyone experienced this. Update Here is a video 7-22-13 with overcast. Now it seems fine!!???  7-21-13 UPDATE Video Pitch black garage Maybe I'm losing it but in the garage it looks fine! I might have the worst luck ever with sunlight lmao! Watch video below by clicking the picture and let me know...  7-20-13 UPDATE FROM TALKING TO CHICAGO5THGEN.COM FOLKS and Steveo for the comparison pictures So my car is going in Weds. and my service guy said that doesnt look right at all. Below you will see a comparison to a good HUD vs mine that a forum member did for everyone. Mine is the top image, and one picture is reseting on the steering wheel and the other is zoomed in by both me and another forum members for comparison.

Considering the brightness is uneven it's probably a faulty display, and one of the backlights is out. Would take it to the dealership for warranty replacement.

Thanks guys thats what I was thinking. Just out of curiosity do you know what they need to do in order to replace the hud? Is it a fairly quick job?

They'll probably have to order the part, doubt they'd keep them handy in the shop. But they'll basically just pop the dash and swap em.

I have the same issue, where my HUD is very dim and I also have the random fadeout's. I am going to take my car in for its first oil change which I have been meaning to get done for couple weeks now. Hopefully I will be able to have it fixed soon as well.
 Please let us know how it works out for you.

Yeah, That's definitely not fully functional. When you have it replaced make sure you check for rattles afterwards since they will be taking out your entire dash to replace it.
Good luck |
