Where do you have yours at Qcon? Any PICS?

I got one a year ago and it was ok unless the light was bright outside. Within a year a couple of the lights went out so couldn't really tell what the number was. If I had to do it again I would just do with out!

It's mounted pretty far forward almost to the bottom of the windshield and it projects behind the hood cowl so it usually has a black background. I do have issues with mid morning light reflecting off the projector which blows out the image on the glass. At this point it looks like I have to remove HUD since it's impossible to differentiate the second number with 2 LEDs out. I have pictures somewhere of them when first installed, so I'll need to re-upload them.

I ended up removing the HUD today. The missing LEDs got too annoying. Here are a couple shots of when it was new. I do want to replace it, though. It was awesome when it was working. I loved being able to see my speed without looking down. It looks like I can only replace it with the same model, however, since most of the new OBD2 HUDs don't work with the old GM comm protocol, but will work with almost any 2006+ car.

I got mine, but when I plug it in it doesn't work. It doesn't light up at all (I've played with the buttons) and it makes all of the dash lights come on. All of the gauges work fine besides the gas gauge (that goes to E). Any ideas? Am I missing something?

I'm sure you see it but there is a switch on the wire itself, not sure why its there because when its plugged in and the switch is off the Gas/ Volt and Speedo go crazy. That's the only thing I can think of besides maybe that wires in that switch aren't soldered anymore ... you can take it apart by taking out the 2 screws in the switch plate itself.

I did try that, I've been messing with this thing for a few days. Can't get it to light up at all.

Default OBD2 Head Up Display

Hi,
Do you still sell those OBD 2 Head Up displays? If not, would you know where I can get one?
I have an 01 Trans Am Ws6.
Thanks!

6LE is no longer a sponsor and the company is gone. You can probably find that HUD or a similar one on Amazon or ebay.
