I don't know if the wiring harness is present to connect the HUD to the various computers (ECM and BCM). If it isn't, this could become timeconsuming.

Further, it is my understanding that HUD equipped cars have a different windshield than non-HUD vehicles as the HUD requires a special coating to reflect against.

Good luck and let us know how this comes out.

I want to do this to. I got a 2LT vert because i had zero use for any of the options on 3LT but the hud and i saw the bezel aready there on the C6 dash for it. On the c5 you had to cut the dash right open. I have to assune chevy put the same cluster in all C6's and you can just buy the parts and plud and play

does anyone know. I told my wife that i want hud for Christmas
