Hi guys,


I just wanted to ask about HUD my dealer told me that I won't be able to see it in sun and if any reflection goes in front of me I wont be able to see it .. Is that truth??

he also told me that It would cost approximately around 4,000$ and I was like that

that?s all

I can't speak to the cost of HUD in Dubai but I can say that it remains visible in all lighting conditions...

Well, I am sure that Rudy, Ronald_Adi and Katheikia are correct. But... perhaps light in Dubai can be a mite brighter than in Pennsylvania, New Jersey or even The Netherlands?

Does your dealer not have any HUD-fitted car? It would be the only test I trust, short of the word of anyone else with HUD from Dubai.

Why would the dealer pass on an opportunity to sell you an expensive extra?

Should be about the same as in Miami or Key West Florida.

Latitude-wise yes. However, it's considerably drier which makes for clearer skies and more visible light making it to ground level.

It won't be visible to you if you have polarized lenses in sunglasses.
