Installing HUD into non HUD vehicle.

Plot twist: Is a fighter pilot.

Well, the Holden HUD is much better than a Boeing 737NG HUD.

If I recall correctly @VFSV6FORME did a good write up of this exact job a couple of years back? Haven't the time to search for it at the moment, but he may be able to point you in the right direction.

Yes I used a after market HUD (not genuine) and incorporate with the VF and it still works 100%

So I have all the parts I need to do this just a matter of finding the time to pull the dash out and install it.
I have one concern not sure if any will know but can the new HUD control switch trim panel fit were the old one was with the ignition barrel?, it looks like it will either just fit or not quite fit, I do have a back up plan if it doesn’t fit and always did as I wasn’t sure if it was going to fit or not.

Does this

Fit here

It will be close


I know @VFSV6FORME had to modify his one to get it to fit but that’s not really an option for the OEM HUD set up.

you are right to be concerned the factory one is intended for vehicles with push button start and no ignition barrel.

Yip sure is and I was well aware of this before I brought it and as I said have a plan B but was wanting to know if it anyone knows if it fits as is, before I pull all the trim off around the steering wheel column this weekend to try it myself.
