Default Head up display ??

Must admitt like most guys bit off a gadget freak, you know you dont really need one but must have one !! always like the idea off head up displays and ever since owning a digital dash read out Astra GTE mk2 thought its a great idea and so much easier to see what speed your really doing.

noticed this :

http://www.hud-e.com/

not compatable with the scoobies but just been in touch with them and they advised that a new non canbus version will be available from the 30th off this month.

anyone else like the idea off these ???

how accurate would they be reading the speed from the ecu port- same as the cars own speedo or what ??

Looks good apart form the unsightly box needed to project the display on the windscreen.
wouldn't want to ruin the looks of my lovely new car lol

I like it think it looks smart, not sure how useful it really is as I don't spend longer than a sec when glancing at the dash clocks anyway.

If it only shows the speed then don't really see the point
