I didn't realize that the search links expire after some amount of time. That's the first time I've seen that happen.

As ats77 said, and as you probably already have done, just put "hud retrofit" in the search box and you'll see what I had originally linked to...

Don't be too sure it'll completely uninstall itself. If you do a google you'll see that it's quite difficult to remove the software (which is why people hate it.)

Thanks for the message!

To remove it you have only taken the first step.
You also need to manually search your HDD and clean the registry. I use a registry cleaner and Spysweeper weekly and check my HDD every couple days for anything that I didn't want...

Impractical to do a HUD retrofit. You will need a new windscreen (has a special layer) and dashboard top along with the HUD parts. Next car maybe?

HUD is one of the best options on the E60. Thought I would hate it but it works very well.
