I had tried all that stuff before I did what I did, one problem with the iphone\android HUD app is that the image appears shaky\blur on the windscreen -- Most importantly its only nocturnal - only visible at night.

Wanted something thats going to stay there permanently, all the time.

I am personally very content but to each his own.

Still waiting for someone to post a DIY for this and i'll jump on it. Not sure how to connect the wires yet.

It looks great though.

That's true. Ill probably only end up using it til it falls down from my dash lol.
I also want a permanent HUD. But I think I'm just going to do the software update/coding to put it digitally in my speedometer.

Found this on ebay, if you end up getting it you could always kick me the other one as a finders fee. haha

While this is better than nothing, it is still no where near as awesome as the OEM hud. Especially after John coded it for M-Drive/A whole new world of tweaks I never knew existed. Thanks again John! Love it!!

Thanks Jashy 247,

Guys dont forget you have to use your head (lol) a 100 dollar mod cant get you the same effect as a 1300 option (agreed) but the question is "how far does it get you" ?
