HUD comments
dont get me wrong, HUD is kinda cool, but i think GM could have done better..
like, how about a round digital tach. thats it. just a tach. which would show the redline, and maybe a shift light. now that would be cool.
i have it on most of the time,, but usually just so that i can barely notice it,,at its 'dimmest' position (which changes obviously depending on light).
the 'slide' tach that it displays now, brings me back to my '87 digital dash

I love my HUD, although I don't use the tach. The tach is on, but when I'm looking at hitting redline I use the analog on the dash, it's more accurate. BTW, the HUD does have a shift light.

I like mine just fine... as do others who don't know what a HUD is.
Have you tried aftermarket? I've seen LCD screen in-dash installs with laptop computers that run programs to show the tach and speed, as well as other engine diagnostic measures.
Don't know what else to offer, 'cept a hanky!

GM has done better, in fact the HUD's on C6's do have a round tach now and also a G meter, which may be a novelty, but cool to me! Keep in mind that the current HUD in your C5 was developed a decade ago when most cars didn't(and still don't) have!

Perhaps GM could make it better, but it works just fine for my use.
