I just purchased a 2005 545i but am not sure if it has the HUD option. How can I tell or access iDrive to turn it on?

Thanks in advance.

You guys are funny..

dewman, if you look on the dash right in front of the driver's seat/above the main instrument cluster, you should see a rectangularish opening with a glass covering. That's the HUD projector and it aims at the windshield.

I just have a feeling you don't have it otherwise the seller would have mentioned it as a selling point.

Your dash will look like this if you have HUD:

My HUD has a button is above the light switch knob. Its an "on-off" button.
