Hey.
Ya, I stalled a bit. It got cold in the garage, and my interface I have to talk to the car had some trouble sync'ing to the Vette (the interface was built for OBD-II vehicles).
I'll pick up work on it soon enough. It's getting warmer outside!
WaFp: Anything can talk to anything. The issue with having an aftermarket nav talk to the HUD would be getting the information from the nav, not getting the info to the HUD. In fact, that may be enough of a challenge (though not impossible) that it renders the idea impractical.

This sounds like a great product. Something I'd be interested in buying when available. It sounds like you might just be the one to help us all in another area. Do you think you could build us a P.A.L. (Personal Audio Link) for our MP3 players? I don't think GM will ever get to it now.

Great project. Once you get it working, the link below is a company that can make it if there is enough interrest.
They made a simular device for our Harley Davidson VRSCA's.I have one and it has survived 5 years on my bike and still works like new. They do a quality job. I think they needed several hundred orders to make a profit. I will take one.

Dr. thanks for the reply. The impracticality is what I've run into from a lot of other people. My cousin is a computer/electrical engineer and he said he could do it.....with a couple months and nothing else to do 
Keep on keeping on, and I'll be watching this thread!

I'm ready to buy one now if you get it to work. I would try to design one myself if I had the time but truly I don't and you've got a lot more knowledge on this than I. I would have to start from scratch. Please, get your work finalized, protect your ideas so you make some money from this, then start producing. You've got a buyer right here and from the sounds of it, lots of others too.

A little status update here. I had some free time this weekend and played around some more. By directly transmitting to the on-board HUD with my own interface hardware, I can get the HUD to show any CD track and folder with the CD icon (if anyone wants to play too, just transmit the following string on the bus: ca 9b f1 07 84 01 XX 00 YY 00 00 then 88 eb f1 0b 41, where XX is the folder number and YY is the track number). That's worthless for the V1 interface, but it shows I can indeed command the on-board HUD.
I can also get the HUD to show the left forward arrow and 0.0 miles to go on the meter. The miles to go meter will serve as the signal strength meter and the various arrows will obviously show the various V1 arrows.
I'm just playing when I'm bored (clearly, since I stopped working on this almost 1.5 years ago, and may not pick it up for another 1.5 years!). Once I isolate more of the command set, I'll update further.

Does anybody know if the site (http://sites.google.com/site/c6v1hud/) moved, or was it just taken down?
Thanks!

Isn't this exactly what the OP is proposing or did I miss something.
