Default Adding HUD?

I was just wondering if it is possible to add HUD to a C6 that was purchased without it? I've been thinking about trading up so to say and I really like my HUD but I don't want the whole package. I know this probably sounds stupid but it is what I want. I don't want navigation or all the other weird things. I have 2 GPS units and I don't have enough drivers to really need memory.

Anyway please let me know if it is doable and if so how much I would be looking at investing. Thanks for any help.

I've been told that the windshield is different on cars with the HUD. Had to replace one on my '02 and the glass shop ordered one for use with the HUD.

Adding HUD to a C5 was/is very straight forward. It's been written up in a number of posts.

However, the C6 is a whole different story. A number of posts have asked this question and replies think it's possible but I haven't seen any posts with results or links to posts showing showing the results. There have been some posts stating that the windshield doesn't need to be replaced.

I cannot speak to the issue of whether or not you can add it but I do want to correct the Nav issue. You do not have to get the Nav to get the Hud on an 07. You do need the 3LT package though that adds a number of things. Including: upgraded seats, telecoping steering wheel, additional airbags, better sound system, heated seats, memorized seat & exit settings etc. The Nav was a separate upgraded item not a part of the 3LT package.
Good luck in your decision.
PS. I orded the 3LT on my 07 and I am happy that I did so.

You dont need a new windshield. It can be done, but its not as easy as in the C5. Gerardo from DSV has done it.
