Head up display horizontal position?

zzz · 02-11-2015, 03:54 AM

It seems that my head up display starts to fall out of the line of sight if I move my head to the right just couple of centimeters. This does not happen if I move my head to the left, in fact I have to lean to the left a lot to produce the same effect. Is this normal, or do I have badly centered unit?

I think the difference left-right is to do with the curvature of the windscreen, but I will check if I have the same issue in mine tomorrow.

You can make adjustments in Idrive.

Up-down, but not left-right

It can be rotated also, but only by a few degrees!

This is supposed to be for when you are wearing polarised sun glasses, it's not too effective in my experience.

How tall are you?

zzz · 02-12-2015, 08:14 AM

I am 187cm, but not sure it's relevant...

I bet if you pull your seat forward a bit, the display will be a bit more center horizontally. Not that it is the solution to your problem.

That's over 6 feet tall! I have noticed that it is offset to the right a little and that the only thing you can adjust is Rotation and Height but I have no idea if it can be coded to be centered

I have to move my head quite some way left or right for mine to disappear. I'm 6ft.

Checked mine, and there is no difference left/right, so would suggest yours is off centre.
