Head-up SCREEN, not HUD
The last option that i left behind was HUD and since getting a car felt sorry for not ticking that box ... Was coming from e60 where I did not really missed it, but a higher seating possition in F25 means loosing a road from a peripheral vision when checking speed etc. was waiting for a navdy solution, but came accross by accident to this BMW oem aftermarket solution -HUS - and got it installed this week and it is GREAT!

Definitely interesting, but at $600 it's a gadget I'm not willing to pick-up....

Is it a gadget? If you want but did not get a HUD, that is an excellent opportunity and it cost half the price of the HUD. navigation app comes free and although i took it for speed indication only, navigation with speed limit indication, speed camera warnings and the navigation itself - is a really useful gadget. It cost the same as the one that will come from navdy, but it is an oem solution, which i prefer anyway. |

Thanks. I look forward to seeing the pictures to help me with my deliberations. Can you elaborate in the speedcam warnings and the rest of the read outs? I have the BMW MEDIA/Pro Sat Nav fitted as standard to my X3 xDrive 30d M Sport but of course no speed camera warnings can be loaded, so I use a small Garmin SatNav that we do not use for guidance, but use only to give the speed camera positions that I subscribe to and get from http://www.pocketgpsworld.com/modules.php?name=Cameras

Thanks for taking the pictures and posting. You are very kind.
I am surprised at how small the screen is. Perhaps it is down to the distance the camera is from it. I can only presume that once the driver is seated in the car it is in fact quite large and displays the information so that it is easily readable.

I assumed, perhaps wrongly that the HUD is larger and the icons/text are correspondingly larger on the X5?

Now all I have to do is drive an X5 or X3 with HUD and then see a HUS in operation to compare and see if I want to go further.

the other "+" of the HUD is that you can sligthly adjust the hight of where the info is displayed (but not by much), while on HUS it is fixed (but I do not see the need for adjusting it, as it is right in the correct spot - easily visible, no losing of road/traffic in peripherial vission while consulting HUS info. |

The reason why I am thinking the display is smaller is when I think of the HUD display showing highway exit graphics, it looks like it would take up half the screen. But this may just be how the camera is portraying depth. When I take a pic of my HUD, the graphics look a lot smaller than they do in real life. Anyway, I think the HUS looks pretty cool and I like all the info it does give you. |

Admittedly, I was not using a satnav while driving a test x5 so could not appreciate the full size of the HUD displaying max information fields on a windscreen, but the size of speed indications was the same in my recollection. HUD also had a bit of more "depth" in its perception. That might be the main visual difference.
I'm also quite tall (188 or 6'2), so my seating possition is quite high. However, is your seat is at max hight and you are really close to the wheel/windscreen, rhen neither HUD nor HUS would be in your direct field of vission I'm affraid. My HUS is mounted on a panel, not sure if you could possition it any higher (but again, I do not feel the need for any higher possitioning of a HUS. For my next car I'm deffinetly geting an integrated solution (hud), but if you do not have and regret of not getting it, HUS is a perfect escape from such a situation. Im glad bmw thought about it and provided it in time |
