  • In this video I show you how to install BMW's Head Up Display retrofit kit on an E90 3 Series. The process would be similar for other newer BMW's such as the F30 etc.
    I purchased mine here:
    www.schmiedman...
    You can also purchase it here from ECS Tuning in North America, if you do it helps support the channel:
    bit.ly/2FhSX2G
    I also go over the functions of the HUD and demonstrate how it works.
    BMW also refers to this as a Head-Ups Screen.
    The android app can be downloaded here:
    play.google.co...
    You can follow this video step by step if you want to install one on your car.
    With shipping this costs around $330 USD.
    Installation Instructions.

      Fair enough lol, as you walk up to the car it doesn't look clean but from the drivers seat its aight. Functionality wise you get so used to it that it's worth the trade off.

  • @berniecruz8405

    Actually, now that I seen that this HUD just sits on the dashboard, i don't think this looks OEM. It's looks no different than any other after market HUD that sits on the dashboard. Except the other after market HUD's you don't have to go through all this re-wiring or wire tapping. All you have to do is plug into the OBDII port and everything is ready to go.
    I was hoping this device was something that got installed into the dashboard some how and looked more integrated.

    • @mart182003
      @mart182003 5 років тому +1

      I think this is meant to be installed into the dashboard, but the owner is afraid to cut into the dash.

    • @VirusTornado
      @VirusTornado 5 років тому +6

      The retrofit kit is different than a car that comes with the HUD factory option. The factory HUD has a slightly different dashboard to integrate a projector that projects directly onto the windshield in front of the driver. It's less intrusive.

    • @VehicularDIY
      @VehicularDIY  5 років тому +11

      On a later model like the F30 there is a bezel that covers it to help it look cleaner but I get your point. On an E90 it doesn't look like it would come from the factory like that. I called it OEM as it's made by the original equipment manufacturer.

      I think it's the best they could do but I'd bet the average person wouldn't think BMW made that. So would be nice if they made something similar that would reflect on the windshield but I've gotten so used to it in the few days I've been using it that no way would I remove it. Just close your eyes when you're walking up to the car lol. Looks fine from the drivers seat.

      Leave it. This plastic crap is useless. You should rather drive without a head up than using something like this. Only reason I see someone would accept a car with a plastic piece in your sight is just to claim the doubtful fame of a head up. Posing wont help if someone actually sees what you have in your car. Makes you the laughing stock.
