Heads Up Display
Had to have the windshield replaced because of a stupid mistaking my part.
Well known local company performed the replacement. Knew it was a 2LT with heads-up.
Had not driven the car much but did the last two days. Noticed the heads-up image is not very bright even adjusted to the brightest setting.
Any advise or input?
Thanks,
RWP

CAREFULLY clean the HUD window in the dash with a damp soft cloth. Clean the inside of the windshield too.
A dimmer display should not be caused by a new windshield. If not a HUD windshield the display might appear out of focus.
Also make sure the sensor on the dash is clean.

First, make sure they actually used the OEM Hud windshield.

Well I think I realized the difference.
I was wearing a pair of polarized sunglasses that just about eliminated the reflection.
Non polarized don’t affect it.
Thanks for all the suggestions.

I quit wearing polarized sunglasses while driving. In my X5 the nav screen disappears if i tilt my head to the side. Not that I drive with my head tilted but polarized lenses mess with hud and other electronics.
