NAV is doable (search the forum, it has been done), but HUD is almost impossible or at least extremely costly. You will need a new dashboard and even a new windscreen and all HUD parts.

But if you think about it makes sense, it's almost the same as it costs when you order a new car, I paid 36.000SEK. I would get mad if was cheaper to retrofit it by the dealer...

member nicke60gre will be attempting this at some stage - he already has most of the parts, cost has been VERY reasonable until now. Of course the guy knows how take his car apart so he'll save bundles from doing the work himself !

Check out the following post and the ones right after it to see that the HUD retrofit is, in fact, possible...
