Welcome to the forum. It is quite possible that you have a connector that is unplugged or loose. The fuse that powers the HUD is a 15A CLUSTER/HUD found in the passenger footwell under the floorboard.You can check that fuse, and if it is OK, then you may have to remove the speedometer and check the connector(s).
Follow up if you have resolved, or still an issue. There is more help available from many. You can PM me your email address and I can send you the complete 2006 electrical color schematics which may help you in the future.

fob
sorry for my early answere my english is not zo good you mean fob (transmitter key) how can i check this i have only one key and the garage told me it always worked with that one. so is ik possible that the ecm connector is not good because they disconnect it to clean it, or are there more connectors on that place by the ecm that they maybe also disconnect to clean them and put one of them not good together or is there somewhere by the body control unit under the passenger foot side a connector what has that funtion for the trip computer

This turned into a bit of a nightmare and cost me $500 at the dealer while they struggled for hours, then finally had to completely overwrite the BCM.
And this was the 2nd dealer, as the first dealer couldn't do it, despite tech support from GM Canada
This is from the owner's manual . Good luck!

You might not be able to program your USA bought key fob. If your car was sold new in Europe than the RCDLR is programmed to operate at a different frequency than North American cars. The tire pressure monitors and key fobs might be 433 mhz.
