HUD is missing a segment
The hud display just started missing a segment. To explain, part of the tachometer arc is missing inbetween 5000 and 6000 rpms, as well as part of the number 5. If you rev past 5000 rpm, the rpm band disappears in that section.
Anybody had something similar? Bad ribbon cable or new HUD?

I have not seen that problem on mine, but if you find out what the issue is and the cure, please post it up.

A buddy with a 2015 3LT had a similar issue. His HUD was canted and the edge was missing. Dealership adjusted it for him. If you are on good terms w/ with svc mgr, you could stop in ask the question and show him.

I tried moving the hud up and down with no results. Had an issue with the "reduced power" so I have an appointment for that issue today as well as looking at the HUD. Did not want to try the battery reset until the code was pulled.
Historical codes are supposed to stay in with a battery reset, but did not want to take the chance.

I doubt this is the issue but I would check the glass behind the wheel (on the dash) and make sure there is not like a parking receipt or something covering part of the hud projector lens. I actually cleaned that glass when I first bought my car (used) and apparently the previous owner never cleaned it because it made my HUD a ton brighter.
