Default Adding Factory HUD to Base C7

I tried to search for this but the search feature seems to be dead.

I'm wondering if adding the heads up display is simply a plug and play sort of thing.

If so, I was going to check wrecking yards and see if I can get the control box, wiring and display (and anything else I'd need) to do it myself.

Check into the glass first - HUD windshields use a special coating to make the HUD visible to you, and are marked "HUD" right on the glass.

Now maybe they all use the same glass, I don't know... but if not, the non-HUD cars would have glass that would make the HUD very hard to see unless you changed it.

Anyone know for sure?

In the c5 and c6 cars the hud will show up the same I put it in my c5 and it was the same. I helped a friend put it in his c6 it was the same. Hope this help somewhat for you man. Robert

I had to replace my windshield in my base non HUD. I put a HUD windshield in it, bc it was the same price from my dealer. There is a difference (one says HUD in the lower corner), but like Robert said, I think it will still show up on either.
