Default 1999 HUD Enabled Dash?

Is their a way to tell if your car(in my case a 1999) has the connector for the HUD install?
Thanks

Only way to tell is if you pull the instrument cluster out. My 99 hardtop happens to have the HUD ready cluster. I have also heard of some 99's not having it though. Pull the cluster out its not that hard.

I ordered my '99 in November 98 and was able to get the HUD on it(delivered in Jan 99). Not sure if the HUD was available at the beginning of the model year, but it sure was not too long afterwards.

We are going to install HUD on a buddy's car. His car was built in 6/99. Hope it does have HUD enabled cluster

This late in the production run for 99's it should be there. Mine was built in late March and had it. HTH

Mine was an early build convertible (8/98) and did not have it. So I just bought a HUD enabled cluster and had the mielage transfered.
