Heads up Display possible or not - you decide

[StriderDriver]

please excuse this drunken moment of (in)sanity:

With all the technicians, engineers & mechanical know-how which is spread across this board, I've always wandered how possible it would be to create a HUD.

I am neither of the for-mentioned above, however I have thought that with electronic speedo's and tachometers something modern can be achieved with a retro E30.

I have no way of achieving nor implementing this idea, but I've often wandered if it could be a possibility. There are computer keyboards which can spread an image across any hard surface, so why not use the info presented to the dash in a heads up display?

Its easy to do and you can buy one off the shelf. Defi do them. Here's a direct link to the actualy HUD by Defi

This ofcourse assuming E30's run a pulse signal for the speedo/tacho and not mechnaical

[Jhonno]

e30's use an electrical signal for the speedo yes

Defi's HUD system will work then. They are very cool bits of kit, though not cheap.

This sorts the problem of where you mount oil pressure/temp! Anyone using one?

[Richyb]

Not yet but I will be. A mate of mine has one in his CR-X and its pretty cool. Very clear even during the day too.
