I just bought a 2008 base model C6, and it doesn't have the HUD option. has anyone installed a HUD on a car that did not have one? If so how difficult was it?
I did it quite a while back before it was a thing. If you search around different vendor sites you can find the "kit" of parts you will need plus the harness for around $400. If you get used working parts you could do it cheaper.
If you are willing to cut your A/C duct that goes over your instrument cluster to the driver's side vent, it is a fairly easy install. This is the route most people take and they put the duct back together with the foil tape they use in attic ducting. This is the method I would do if I could do it over again. I pulled the entire dash and it was an all day affair never having done anything like that before.
If you end up doing this yourself and want a hand, let me know.
Do the job correctly. Remove the dash to change the bezel and don't cut the AC duct. Also there is some wire splicing that will need to be done and that is easier with the dash out.
