Black 05 We are getting real close. Blown thinks in the next couple of weeks and he will ship it to Me to install and run it.
He ended having to order some special conectors and parts that We did not forsee until He got it torn down and begin to backward engineer. He feels comfortable that it will work.
Soo as We have it installed and tested We will post on the forum. We are tryng to pin down all the cost so We can tell those who want them what they will need to spend. Blown has a good access to Vette HUD's at wa y lower price than I had been searching and finding.

How are you guys coming on the HUD?

Keep up the good work. If I could help I would. If this is possible to do, I am sure you will figured it out. I am very interested in installing this in my H2

tower I would not argue the WACK part of it but, one thing for sure if it is going to be out there at the edge of the envelope Jonahs and I have been talking about how to do it that is for sure. He is a gadget WHIZ and I'll come up with an idea every so often and He leads the way to figure it out. Most of the time He finds something out of the norm does it and then gets Me in on it. I have put in an order for a Vette HUD and waiting to see if Jonahs can discover in the H2 wiring a way We can tap into and what decoder He can come up with. If He finds something promising I'm going to have the HUD sent to Him for His H2 and I'm sending Him some software that may or may not help in research.
Well keep You posted tower but, it will come from Jonahs. I get a fruity idea and He loves a challenge and starts digging into it. So do not hesitate to ask Him where He is or if He has come across something. I have some phone time yet to spend with some Vette experts to see if they have ideas. First is to talk to Dealer Monday.

TAZ, good reply, I'm glad you didn't seem upset with my feeble attempt of humor. It really wasn't meant as anything mean.

On to the subject, about the HUD...
Aren't HUDs viewed via reflection off the inside of the windshield?
If so, doesn't the near vertical aspect of the windshield make the positioning of the display unit nearly impossible to position?

It would seem to me that maybe a display could be positioned to reflect off just the very bottom of the windscreen. I haven't seen any HUDs recently, and I have only seen one in a friend's car, years ago. So I am just asking this to clarify my understanding.

Besides BLOWNZ06 helping I have 2 other people trying to help Me run this down and 2 Vette tech's and 1 Hummer tech. If it is possible will find out. It is getting narrowed down though.
We are getting fairly sure it will work but, trying to find the easiest and most cost effective way to do it. It does appear We can tap into H2 and get info but, could have to go to sevral spaots instead of like vette it coming to a one point location to tie into. BLOWNZ06 is trying to look into also finding a way to make a seamless install without cutting holes in dash. I have a buddy that works in carbon fiber and glass making audio and video boxes and consoles that is looking into how to mount the system once We figure what parts of the Vette We actually need. Trying to go from needing the whole cluster and projector to just projector which is roughly 8" square and 2" deep and the HUD controls on the left of dash. We have been studying the schematics and there is a processor that takes the class 2 serial feed and translates it for the projector. That brain seems to be behind and part of the HUD controls. Just trying to minaturize it as much as possible. Hoping to actually get it to a point that i can tell everyone what they need and give you material and deminsions of console once made or have buddy make consaole and let everyone just buy one from Him. he is a great young Christian family man and would not do it to make much money just to cover cost and some time.
I'm sort of like an old logger head turtle, been told I resemble one also' just do not give up or I should say let go easily.
if it is possible it will get done. I was hoping to have it by next weekend for a 2000 to 3000 car show I'm in but, have so much to install waiting on stuff from sponsor's do not know if I will make it in time for show.
Working all weekend and every night next week.
Spending this weekend chroming engine compartment out and building Jonahs SC info center. Should have SC on no later than next Wensday.
Let everyone know as soon as i can. if anyone can come up with info let me know.
I need help running doen a projector and HUD controls with the brain in it. the projector does hook to cluster but, it looks like it is a pass through connection and does not draw any info from cluster. It is like You have 2 seperatecluster units just mounted in the same space. I have been using the 2004 GM techlins software to study shcematics but, they are not the easiest thing to look at and read without a unit in Yours hands to refer to as you study them. Any help appreciated. I have also been told there is a very good aftermarket unit but, waiting on info for that. I have seen it and really does not look good to
Me and I think will cost way more than if We all can go out and find Vette parts to do this and still have GM stuff in rigs.

I have heard defi works good bt, I just do not like the look of box etc. It just would not work for shows. thus began My interest in building one to integrate inot H2 dash.
So will see how it turns out.

I agree. I tried to hide the Defi projector, but it was difficult. I'll be keeping an eye on this project.
