HUD From a GTP.. So I found a junked 2004 GTP, with a HUD and all that good stuff.. Here's what I'm wondering: What all do I need to rip out for the HUD to work in my new Monte? I can get "Whatever I need" for 80$ according to the guy.
This could be a real challenging project. I believe that the HUD is controlled through the BCM. The BCM also controls remote start, keyless entry, VATS....
You might want to do a bit of searching before committing to this. Maybe your BCM is compatible with the HUD, if not, this swap could cause a lot of problems.
p.s. there is a special (expensive, ask me how I know) windshield used in the GXP so that the HUD output is reflected/visible. Not sure how well it will work with a regular windshield.

Ah, you know, I forgot about that. They use that coating along the inside. Amusingly, I can get the entire engine, for 800. 
It's in the junk yard for massive rear end frame damage. This'll be a good start for my as-of-yet undecided project. Thinking if I pull the entire engine (I don't know what was IN the 04 GTP) along with the tranny, and computer, I'll be set to put it in whatever I make.

Ah, sweet. Thanks for the information. I've been out of the GM loop for some time. 
Sadly, I won't be doing anything untill I figure out if my insurance is going to cover the giant crack in my windsheild. Some trucker thought it would be funny to drive over a gravel patch on the highway = chipped front end\windsheild. I am not a happy man right now.

I believe a friend of mine took a HUD from an older GTP or Bonneville and was able to get it to work in his 3rd gen w/o too much hassle. I might be able to get a hold of him and see if he remembers what he did. I remember us talking about how it worked even w/o the special windshield. I think it just wasn't as clear or bright. This was quite a few years ago too though.
