i bought this 2000 last march and since i n=bought it the hud hasnt worked, what do i check? if i adjust the brightness, the green appears but thats it

There is an adjustment **** that moves the HUD display up and down in the field of vision, someone could have merely adjusted yours to be below visible level. Try using the up down arrow to see if you can get it into view.

Angle plays a big role here so someone much smaller or larger than you may have had it adjusted for their view, but when you try to see it can't. Finger's crossed for you.

Can you take a photo of what you are seeing and post it so we can better understand the problem? Adjust the brightness to max and place something dark over the windshield to block the incomming light before taking the photo.

could be the projector mirror, try fooling with the up/down controls at night and see if you can get something. If the mirror fell off it pin it may be projecting sort of sideways or cockeyed

A very good chance you have a problem like mine. One or both of the pivot pins on the back corners of the unite has more than likely broken,,letting it drop below viewing level.These are just plastic nubs ,,and eventually wear/break off. I'm going to have to do a search to find out how to get to it and get it out to try and fix it!! If I can hunch way forward I can see it!! Try it and see if you lean up and see it. If you can,,and the adjustment **** makes no difference,,that's the problem!!

I just replaced my projector when this happened, there is a thread on repairing the pins but I could not find it. if you need a projector I have a few.

thanks for all the help guys, i will definitely check it out and i will take some pics tonight and post em up. i dont really need the hud but if its there why not right?

You say you may not need it "BUT" I wish mine had come with it

Thanks,Matt

Matt,
You need to get to the other coast (skins territory) and we would get you a HUD installed in a couple of hours.

Martin

very true matt, just like i thought it was ok not to have the bose system but damn it sounds so good, to me at least, ha ha.

Ohhh man! either this season or next I am going to DC, whenever they come over I am at the games and my wife even got me a stay in the team hotel - met a lot of the players and Gibbs etc Sunny signed my hat

I will contact all Skins fans when I go to DC for a game

Hail!

Thanks,Matt

Come on now guys, u have to know im Cowboys fan

Yea, we can’t wait around here for Sept. 12, opening day, cowboys, McNabb, Sunday night- going to be great. I'll be at the 50 yard line sipping a few cold ones. I had at least 10 people call me about the game not including my kids, there all wondering who I’m going take with my 2 extra tickets.

Thanks,Matt 661-406-7516

Just saw your response,,,are they pricey?? If you want to keep it private,,shoot me a PM or Email!! Just how far do you have to tear the dash down,,or is it accessible from underneath?? Thanks for any info!!

Wish I could sell you my HUD. I leave it turned off. It drives me crazy.

thanks Martin and matt!! hey i thought my hud was just coming up with a green screen but i put my head right up against the ceiling of my car athere it was. the hud is working but when i tried to move it to my sight it only moves sideways not up and down.

Go over to the tech side and look at the sticky DIY, it has one for HUD install- Its not difficult at all, takes a couple of hours, maybe 3 if its your first time. You have to pull the dash.
I will PM you when I get home, I need to see how many I have
Martin

Sounds like a plan! Go Skins
