heads up display windshield '90 ZR1
 

Our '90 ZR1 has the "heads up display" area on the windshield, but no "heads up" capability. Did ANY ZR1's have this function? AND is a replacement windshield available with the heads up display for the '90 ZR1?

What do you mean by heads up display area on windshield? If your talking about the little window at the bottom of the dash , that is meant for a radar detector because the windshield is laminated.

No ZR1 had Heads up display.

Nope, not what I meant! The article at http://www.answers.com/topic/head-up-display explains it pretty well. My father-in-law has the head's up display on his '03 'vette and I believe it was originally supposed to be on the '90 but GM had problems getting it up and running. :confused:


Unfortunately, there is a star crack on the windshield (that has been drilled/filled) but eventually we will need to replace the windshield. *sigh*

No ZR-1 had heads up. The "cutout" area is where a radar detector is to be mounted. As the solar tint inhibits a radars full capability.

Are you thinking you may have a pilot car for Headsup display?

Patton - Tells us how you really feel! :mrgreen:

MAYBE he does have Pilot car for HUD? I don't think so but hey you never know with GM

I guess the 2 ZR1 ECM development stacks (88-92, 93-95) with HUD that I have are a figment of my imagination? The poster is correct as GM was planning to implement HUD on the C4 and development began as early as 88 I think. However I also think he is confusing the door opener cutout in the windshield as some kind of projection space for the HUD. If the dash has a cutout then thats a different matter.

Just a question...did the development of the HUD not finish in time for the Z to get it? Did they have problems making it work at a cost effective price?

I think that would have been way cool to have HUD!

The "cutout" looks IDENTICAL to the heads up display windshield on my father-in-law's '02 Vette with HUD. Hmmm...

BTW - quick correction - my FIL's vette IS an '03. He's dreaming about the '06 C6 as we speak (not bad for an 88 year-old) :-D
