Does anyone know how to adjust the settings of the HUD? I'd like to move the display height. I heard the shop could do it, but wanted to save me a trip.

Hi

You have to remove the Central Information Display, and you also need special tools to adjust. And you also need access to a DIS tester. So I would leave it to the shop.

HUD Adjustment Link - tried it but the vertical adjustment capability is very minimal.

When having them adjust the HUD vertical setting be careful that you don't raise it to a point where, at your seat height, the view is faded. When I had mind done, the Tech suggested I be there and sit in the car with my seat set where I wanted while he moved it. There's a point where it fades.

There is not much play in there, but it was enough so that my wife could see the HUD at her seat setting (much higher than mine). At the original setting she couldn't see the HUD images clearly.
