Anyone tried to add the HUD to the SLT?   No parts manuals are online yet,   curious on what connectors it needs.

I’m pretty certain it would require a different windshield. In the past it was that way - at least.

The HUD windshield has a special interior coating that properly reflects the projected information from the HUD module. Your HUD will be useless if you install it on a  non-HUD windshield. You will need a new dash for the HUD cut out, programing etc, connectors would be the very least of your parts list, not that simple.

Connectors were the wrong word,  as I know they make most wiring harness stock,  what I did not know was the windshield.   That was the one I was not expecting.     Dash, HUD, etc I was expecting. 

 

 

I don't expect its going to be an issue getting the windshield replaced before the HUD.

@WwRGSwW, I don't want to get your hopes up, as I have not done much research yet, but you may be able to add an interior window film (or possibly tint) that can give you the same benefit as a "specialty" windshield being discussed in this topic.  My father just picked up his 2019 Silverado LT All Star and I plan to do some awesome modifications to his truck for him.  One thing I've always liked is a HUD and I hope to look into this over the next month or so.  Just food for thought.

I have the HUD and the windshield is stamped “HUD” in the corner. I suspect that trucks with forward collision alert/ safety package II (but no HUD) also have an HUD-ready windshield since it flashes the alerts on the windshield. So it would be an easier journey to add HUD if the truck already has that package. 

 

On the other hand, the HUD-ready windshield may not be completely necessary. I added HUD to my 1994 Cutlass and the image was fine with the normal windshield. That said, it was a very rudimentary HUD setup from an early 90s Grand Prix. Speed only, nothing fancy.

If you choose to get the windshield thats up to you, I'd see how it looks first without it then go from there sometimes you get lucky :)  The good news is this is a much simpler process than it was on the K2 platform.

Chris,   So I have a SLT with navigation right now.   Do you have the part numbers for the new HUD dash?

Where is that stamped?   Drivers side or pass?    I have the Safety Alert (RED light),  but I dont see HUD on mine.

Passenger side at the bottom. “HUD” is written in a little box.DFDB34A3-59DB-4A32-91C3-E0A521A93877.thumb.jpeg.dfd560aecf1e193947f8b8404bdce0b6.jpeg

Unfortunately I was not that lucky.     Mine does not say HUD.    I can't tell,  can you read the part number for yours?

Darn, there goes that theory. I don’t think it’s GM part number, but it’s Pilkington 43R-012323. The rest I think are just DOT certifications and whatnot.

I see things getting pretty spendy in a hurry. Even if the thing works fine with the original windshield (which it may)...one can only imagine what the HUD module itself costs from GM, along with the switch, trim panels, and then the reflash.

 

Don't get me wrong, it’s a cool feature and I rely on it as my speedometer, but I don’t know if it’s “$2000 out of pocket after the fact” cool.

I loved it in my 2013 Camaro. Cant believe it's not part of a safety package on all vehicles by now.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
