More Corvette C6 Hud Install images. Oct 22, 2010 I have a 2007 C6 Z51 package jacked up sound system with a rear camera installed and that's about it. Did anyone go back to a dealer to have the HUD.

This kit includes all parts needed to add Heads Up Display (HUD) to your C6 that wasn't originally equipt with it. This kit includes: • HUD Display • HUD Switch • HUD Bezel • Custom Wiring Harness • 2x 6mm nuts • x 6mm bolt • 1x J-Nut • Detailed instructions You can use your stock windshield, it doesn't have to be replaced for you to be able to see the reflection.

The Display, switch and bezel are oem GM parts, just as would be from the factory. The harness is a custom wiring harness that we have an outside firm manufacturing for us. The instructions are not full of technical jargon, this is a write up done by a fellow car guy that is publically available on different forums.

By - April 21, 2010 (I thought I’d post a message about installing a HUD into a 1997 Corvette. I just went through this process, and thought it might be helpful for others contemplating the same upgrade) First, you will need a HUD projector, and a HUD-enabled instrument cluster. You can get these items from a 1999 or newer Corvette. It will be easiest if you purchase a HUD and Cluster as one unit, as you will then be sure to have the proper connecting cables. There are other articles that describe the dash removal process, so I won’t duplicate that info here.

There is really no rewiring to do; it is all plug-and-play. The HUD plugs only into the cluster (it has to be a HUD-enabled cluster), so there is no additional wiring at all; plug the HUD into the cluster, and the cluster plugs into the standard wiring harness, and that’s it. Also, the HUD controls plug right into the cluster, so no additional wiring there either. Since you are using a newer cluster in a 1997, you may need to unplug the Airbag warning bulb from its socket, and plug it back into the old socket.

Obviously, my 1997 didn’t have the special HUD windshield, but I thought the display was very readable anyway. The hardest part of the install is drilling the three holes needed to mount the HUD projector, and cutting the hole in the dashpad. You will need a Dremel tool with a right-angle attachment to drill the HUD mounting holes, since the mounting points are close to the base of the windshield, and there isn’t a lot of room up there. I used two rubber expansion nuts, size #10-32×5/8″ from Home Depot for the front two mounting points, and a simple sheet metal screw and clip nut in the lower mount point (although a small nut and bolt would work here as well). There are two holes to drill in a plastic molding up near the windshield base, and one to drill in a rib in the magnesium dash support. Mark the hole positions by placing the HUD projector in place, and use a felt tip marker to mark the hole positions. In the forward two holes, start with a small drill bit in the Dremel/right-angle tool, and then use a cone-shaped grinding bit to enlarge the holes enough to take the rubber expanding nuts.

Be careful, the material is soft and enlarges very easily. If you make the holes too big, the rubber expanding nuts won’t work.

Insert the expansion nuts into the two forward holes, drop the HUD projector into place, and fasten. You will probably need a right-angle screwdriver to tighten the forward two screws, since it is close to the windshield base, and there isn’t a lot of vertical work space. Install the new instrument cluster, and plug the HUD cable into the top of the cluster. Install the dashpad with the HUD hole and bezel (or cut your existing pad and fit with a bezel), reinstall the remaining dash parts, and you’re finished. The interesting part was that even back in 1997, they seem to have designed the Corvette for the HUD.

It fits like it was made to go there, and the dashpad has indentations where the hole needs to be cut for the display. (PS>The only step I didn’t go over is synching the odo on the new cluster to your existing mileage, but that’s an issue anytime you change out the instrument cluster in any vehicle. I didn’t go that far in the process, but some have said that the dealer can do it, while others have said that the cluster has to be sent in. Planetshakers Beautiful Saviour Album more.

Sounds solvable either way.).
