I have a 2021 and would love a HUD too. Some guys I know at the dealer say to go with a after market one. I just do not know which is the best if I go that way. From my research you need a harness from (Harnessdr.com) parts from whiteautoandmedia.co) and the dash parts from the dealer. Plus new windshield.

I thought the HUD needed special glass as it has reflective material in it to make the HUD show. When I had it in my G8 the glass people asked if I had a HUD or not. I like mine but turn signals would be nice.

HUD is a great feature.  Others have listed the reasons in posts above so I won't repeat them.  The windshield is specially made for the HUD and is more expensive if it has to be replaced.  I had the windshield in my 04 Corvette replaced when it was almost new and the windshield for it was almost $1000.00 at the time.  But then all damage is expensive on today's trucks and that's why we have insurance.

We all can debate is it worth doing,  the mighty cost of it will dive it in to yes or no column for many.  but does any know if it can be completed with the end user , by just buying the part an install them our selves? 

 

We can change out our display,  which links to HUB but that is all I know.  Does any one else have any information?

I'm a little spoiled by my old 2014 BMW's HUD, so in comparison, Chevy's version IMO is severely lacking.  I had it in my '21 1500, left it off the '22 3500HD.

It's definitely something that can't be easily added. You first off have to have the ability in the onboard computer to operate it. Second you need a different dash as the top has a large opening with a screen for the camera/projector below it. And as was mentioned earlier you need the windshield made for this. I have been installing windshields for 35 years and you have to use a specific windshield for the HUD to work.

I have been putting together the part list, if your have a digital Cluster already and programmed for it,  I am some ware around the below:

 $650-700 for the projector, cables, frame and switch

$700-$800 for dashboard from a take off Ebay need to find one cheaper.

???? windshield,  there may be a work around with film overlay placement.

 

I just finished upgrading my Cluster to the LTZ/High country,  found a take off for $200, sent it out to be programmed $200, for $50 more they will add other options and include the HUD programming as well so my cluster is preprogrammed for it.

 

The mirror camera upgrade is next, after that I might slowly start getting the parts for the HUD.

 

Need to find better pricing on the parts.

I'm not sure about a special windshield, as I just had my 22 3500HD's windshield tinted and the HUD actually shows up a little better I think because of it.

      Remote Start Noise 2024 2500 HD Gas

      By BCGM · Posted

      2024 Chevrolet 2500 HD Custom 6.6 Gas Canadian built Truck  I tried to search for my previous thread on this topic but cant find it so my apoligies  for starting another one    #1   Since we have owned our truck purchased new it has this strange noise after using the remote start function  you press the remote start and you hear it start but right at the end of it starting it almost seems like it wants to start again after the truck is running .   There is no gap in time it is right at the end of the start . Almost sounds like when you have started a car/truck and its running and then you try and start it again and you get that grinding noise ,sort of     #2  You can only hear this if you are standing outside of the truck and near the truck  you cant hear it when you start the truck from inside  the cab . So it may very well be happening when starting the truck that way as in normally    #3   This only happens when it is started after sitting . For how long I don't know but it happens after sitting overnight for sure and it wont do it if you stop the engine after starting and then start it again  I have had it in to the Dealership before concerning this but they did not have the truck  when it was cold to hear it . Now its back in the Dealership left it overnight so they could possibly hear the problem . They said they tried and nothing happened . Well they did not know what they were listening for . I started the truck remotely and BINGO it makes the noise . Oh that sounds weird they say . We need to look into it ! I have left for this week at the Dealership    Does your 2024 2500 HD gas do this ?  Any of you fellas care to take the time and trouble to film this operation from a cold start  so I can hear what your sound like  Really  would like to know if this is anormal sound  Thank You Fellas !!

      2026 Z71 Forward and Rear Park Assist help

      By Slow · Posted

      2026 Z71.  The other day I was backing a trailer into the barn.  The alarm was going off just because the trailer was in the field of the warning sensors when you get too close to something.  For some reason now the warning alarm doesn't work anymore.  It used to go off when I was just normally backing my truck into garage.  I still have the guidelines in the back up camera.  Is there a button or something to push to turn the sound/Alarm on and off?  I have the touch screen in this truck.  There isn't a "P" on the dash except for the parking brake.  I can't find anything in the touch screen under settings or vehicle.  Thank you in advance.

      Well one of our most reliable vehicles was sold yesterday. The first and only I gave for free to a grandkid. If they got skin in the game they take care of it. My wife bought new. Five years later my daughter got it to use. We got it back and gave it to our grandson after graduation. He did zero maintenance just oil changes. When the AC quit he drove his mother’s car rather than get it fixed. Instead he just bought a beater and sold the Elantra.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I usually do as well or better than the sticker for mileage. Usually better going west than east. North then South. Wind makes a difference. I’m not usually a conspiracy theorist. But it did dawn on me I’m going by the vehicle calculation. Now that would be interesting.
