So what is the average time start to finish? Is this an all day Saturday project or a couple days. How hard is it to get that dash out?

DWALEX · 07-16-2014, 08:30 PM

I worked for 5 hrs

It depends on how good you are with this kind of stuff. If you had no experience at all with this kind of stuff(like me), i would recommend starting it on saturday, and if you are struck anywhere not knowing what or how to do, you will have an extra day to work with.

I hope to do the entire conversion at once. color hud, color DIC(if possible), my link conversion with nav and backup cam. Plus I would like to update my dash with the leather inserts. At least that way I wont ever have to pull out the dash again. Not at least until they come out with some crazy new hologram HUD or something in a couple of years!
It will be easier to do this than having to convince my wife why I need to replace all these things that work perfectly well now! She is way too practical and has no sense of adventure. She has never been a car person and just does not understand the need to mod!

Just to be 100% correct here: all you have to do is swap the old HUD unit with the newer style and everything works normally? My car is at the dealership (2011) with a bad HUD. If I can get them to put the newer one in I want to be able to tell them it'll work with confidence.

Looks like someone is going to get a new color HUD. I hope you can talk the dealer into getting one unless you decide to do it yourself.

Do you have any updates on this?

I will be adding the color HUD to my car (a 2011), but I want the color DIC too, and don't want to pull the dash twice.

2SSRS@Gen5diy · 07-31-2014, 05:07 PM

Still working on it may do a new test soon

rebelyell22 · 07-31-2014, 11:19 PM

Is it any clearer than the 10-13 HUD?
