True. Cruise Control shows up green when activated.
If it's out of date pls advise if there is a software upgrade to install.

My Ride: E60 535d 2004
Interior: HUD, Navi Prof, Sounds, Prof, Ventilated seats.. etc..
Exterior: PDC
Suspension: H&R Coilovers, 30mm Lowered
Wheels:
Summer Originals 18" Front 8,5 Rear 9.5 Tires Dunlop. Front 245 Rear 275
Vinter M6 18" replicas Front & Rear 8,5 Tires Nokia 245.
Coming up: Tinted classes, Turbotech chip (320hp), and hopefully at next summer 20" Vertini's
Jep, and what comes to colors, this normal (not M5 HUD) shows colors just fine. Cruise=Green, Seatbelts=Red, Rest=Orange. Hopefully someone is able to find knowledge for this... Still I think sourcode script for rpm view has to be bit different compared M5, 545i vs. 535d... different max rounds, red lines etc. So just vondering if this code is totally behind BMW = it is there but not suitable for other models,,, not available etc..
Someone have to crack this
Sometimes stupid when other models have features not available to other... but I think 500+hp is major feature well enought.
Means = If I byu M5 some day, HUD RPM view has to be my reason.

There are four colors on the standard HUD. Orange, Green, Yellow, Red.

Edit: HUD users, can the HUD display the secret men?? I heard yes... ? If yes, you can have rpm on the glass.

How is this done? software update?
Hold the HUD button pressed until the menu appears.
You can now go through the menu by pressing the HUD button, and select positions by holding it pressed for a little longer. If the menu dissappears you have pressed it too long.
You need to enable the display of all functions just as the secret tach menu...

It's too long ago I used mine, so I have to check it in my car first.
But what I remember is, there is a position to unlock the menu. The code you have to enter by pressing the button is the last seven nubers/digits of your VIN added.
I'll check it today and post the instructions then.
But I'm pretty sure they can be found somewhere on the forum...
