HUD needs some adjustment in my 2000. Can anyone tell me how hard it is to remove the dash to get to the unit?

there is nothing to adjust under the dash, all adjustments are made electronically.

but, here goes anyway.

you will have to remove the complete dash pad to access the HUD projector. that involves removing the instrument cluster, dropping the steering column, removing the radio surround and passenger side glove box.

have fun!

Don't know what adjustments you are talking about. But this is how you do it.

The problem I'm having is the display will not come up enough to see from a normal position. I can look down in the unit and see the adjustment moving full range up and down, but to see the display at the top of the range I have my head on the ceiling. I was told the unit was probally mounted incorrectly. It is factory so I don't know? The above Info looks like what I need.

Thanks

Sounds like there is a problem w/ the mirror adjustment inside the projector. Hard to believe the projector is not mounted correctly. It's mounted inside a seat (or cutout) in the dash housing. But, you never know?? Good luck w/ your project. Let us know how you make out...
