Nate B asked:


I recently saw a commercial for a car that has the speedometer shown up on the windshield? Or something along those lines. Anyone know what car is it is or how to get it on a normal car?

It is called a HUD….or heads up display. It has been available on the Pontiac Grand Prix and the Chevrolet Corvette for a while. I think Cadillac has a few models with it as well.

The display on the windshield is called a Heads Up Display. They have been around over 20 years. they were first available in GM vehicles. Today you can find them in some Pontiacs, Cadilacs, and the GMC acadia. They are options though so all of them dont have it. The corvette also has the option. Some BMWs also have the option. 5 and 6 series BMWs only. If you want it in a car that doesnt come stock with it, There are some cheap kits on ebay, just put in heads up display

The 2006-2009 Chevy Corvette has it.
Many other cars have it.
Usually only expensive cars.

There’s plenty of them. Even the late 90’s Nissan Bluebird/Altima had it.

That’s old technology. GM had it in a couple of their vehicles as an option in the early 90’s.

As mentioned above, it’s called HUD ( Head’s Up Display )
