Heads Up Display?

[BLOWNZO6]

I looked on my ZO6 and cannot see anything on the winshield.

I went to the service manual for my car and found out this would be very simple. The "data" feed for the HUD is simple a Class 2 Serial Data feed. This is the same thing you monitor with your OBD2 connector under the dash. These all meet a standard so the data coming from them is consistent.

For example, I use a program called HP Tuners (www.hptuners.com) to monitor and program both by ZO6 and my H2 and you just plug the same cable into the OBDII connector and there you have it.. output.

If you can find someone that will loan you or sell you a hud relatively cheap.. you should be able to hook it up off the bench with an OBDII cable (www.scantool.net, $16) and check it for function before you even attempt to cut a hole for it.






These should help you get started.

Wow! A normal hemoglobin is around 14.4 for a healthy male. We have had people die below 8.5. You really have had a run of tough luck. I'm glad they found the AVM and repaired it. 8 feet of small bowel is no small deal, but 80% of your stomach must keep you grazing constantly and battling to keep weight on. I'm glad you're still with us, brother.

Thank you for being so open about your history. I'm sure it will ultimately help others. If you are considering a Moab run with us, but don't want to risk a syncopal episode behind the wheel, you are welcome in my co-pilot seat anytime.

All my best to you and your family.

PARAGON You are correct as usuall. I have visited with a guy in Tampa that has conversions for Vettes as old as 1997.
He said You do not have to have window laminate it shows up fine just a little lighter but, great at night. he said there is a laminate you can put on if You want.
As You mentined the projector has adjustment to change how far up or down the windshiled it displays. You would just adjust it down to get it to hit H2 window and show up better. Not sure how muc`h adjustmentbut, if needed the laminate goes on and is not seen he said.

How is it going??? It has been a while since you upgated.

[BLOWNZO6]

WHOOOOAH.. lots of questions. LOL

As far as the cluster sending and decoding the signals... he is probably right... LasVegas already gave you the best idea. Hide the other console somewhere if it is infact necessary.. my only point is that you can try it. I still don't think it needs the cluster to do anything for it, but this is nothing more than a guess on my part. The ECU does all of the translation for the data, etc. I don't think the cluster has anything different in it. The computers for the H2 and the Corvette, all LS1's for that matter are all about the same, it makes sense that GM would use the same conventions across models.. again just a guess, but could be easily figured out with a bench test.

The image does look like it is about a meter from the window. Pretty cool.

As far a tuning goes.. I can show you about what ever you need to know. You are going to need a wideband oxygen sensor to really do anything meaningful, I have not put mine in yet. All I have done is disabled the torque management in my truck, haven't messed with shift points or anything. I have tuned my ZO6 which is making abit over 600 RWHP. I bought the software with the intention of building a turbo kit for my truck.

If there is anything I can do to you help with this let me know. If someone buys the module, I will do the bench testing on it...

Anyway.. you can download those pictures right for where they are posted, just right click and "save-as"

Looking forward to see if this will work.. don't think it is something I would do to mine, but interesting none the less. I really like it on my ZO6.

Glad I could get you started. Go to www.corvetteforum.com and you can find plenty of links just by searching for HUD, here are a few:

You guys have entirely too much time on your hands.

[HUMMERcustoms.com/TAZ]

Cool Jonahs have You been able to find anymore info or if it will be available here soon?

tower
I'm hear at The Lord's will and for only that reason. He has things He wants Me to do and people to talk to or help.

tower during the illness I kept a weight of around 185 to 195. I went into the surgery at 5'11" 195 lb. on 10/7/03. By 2/04 I was at 135 and Doc was telling Me I was anerexic (SP?) and if I did not put on 15 lbs. by end of the month He would have to hospitalize Me. He is a great guy and I told Him I had spent almost 3 years in hospitals starting with first trip 3/17/2001 at 6.3 hemoglobin. I was not going in for starving. He said well just great all that work and worry all these people have put into You will end up just being thrown away after all. So I felt about an inch high. But, He had learned over the years of seeing Me every week giving Me vitamins and iron along with getting alot of transfusions through a port, with My veins shot from all the IV's the first year. He did not use any beside manner with Me. He said I have treated You long enough that i know Your mental state and i will have You committed to the hospital. i know that most that came to Him when i started have long gone to better health or hopefully a better world. I did not know if that was true or not so i got bags of baby ruths and ate them constantly and got the 15 on with some extra lbs. of coins, HAHA.

I would go in the beginning 3 times a week and sometimes in the very beginning every day. It was surreal. I hate to say it but, I had it easier than all the cancer patients I would sit in the same room while they got chemo and I'm getting iron, vitamins as well as some other stuff. I felt bad like what am I doing here with these good people and most would come for a 6 months or year and go into remission. Then there were those I would see for 3 to 6 months and find out they had died. I watched a young mother from My Church come to Him because they knew i saw Him. She could not have children and they adopted a baby from China. She was such pretty baby but, while they were waiting just before going to pick Her up they found out that She was expecting, which was a miracle. The Doctors had told them that after 4 years and the test there was no way She could have children. Well they started seeing Doc Baltz right after Her Baby was born they found She had cancer. I would sit with Her as We asked the Doc could We come at the same time. I was good freinds with Her husband. One day She did not come and then another and another so I asked since it was between Church days where She was at. They told Me She had died. Everyone thought She was going to be Ok. But after a year since She had gone to Be with the Lord a lady started to Church and Her husband had died the same. She had 2 children and they started out just being friends considering what both had gone through they understood more than others. Then after another year They said Hey everyone We have decided to have a Brady Bunch Family. I did not know Her Husband was told a very good Man but, knowing My Church friend the way I did I know She was so happy to know He was not raising the Kids alone.

Once Doc Baltz did not come into my room for 2 hours which was odd because he was prompt for check ups but, would spend all the time You needed. He came in having been crying with a family that He told them there was no hope for helping the Mother. First time I had ever had to give a Doc a hug but, they are human too and I had been seeng Him so long I think He felt comfortable moving on to Me, the nurses said that he changed the order he was going in that morning. He did not treat children, He said He could not stand it. It was to hard with adults. He specialised in elderly and when I first met Him and found out I figured He would pass Me on to another Doc but, I found out later the GI had told Him that He had a feeling that this one was going to be a weird case and would He stay with it. They had been in school together, so Doc Baltz hung in there. He could not use kid gloves with Me, so I got things put to Me the way i deserved to have it said and that was pulling no punches.

Sometimes when i weigh before I go if it is lower than I want I add stuff to My pockets so it will look better. I try to eat but, I do not have any appetite now. Everyone always asks Me if i ate or when or what. I will find I forget to eat for 24 hours if I get busy doing things that occupy My mind. But, most everyone does not let Me forget. I can't eat much but I do try hard to remember and drink weight gain stuff. But, as You know it just does not stay anywhere long enough to be absorbed so a permanent malabsorbtion problem. I like to go fishing just off by myself and in that situation I will forget unless I'm in a area where the girls phone can ring Me. In the boonies out here we have lot's of areas that signal is in and out but, it is getting better all the time.

tower about a year before finding out what was wrong, everyone had been telling I had no color or white as a sheet. I knew I could not walk up stairs to balcony at Church without stopping for air. I'm hard headed as most here have found out and just kept going thinking it was age (43) I needed to work out more. I was playing softball 4 nights a week and every Saturday at tourneys which meant 3 different teams. Church, league, and a tourney only team, I think back and do not know how i did it but, really wondered how could i have thought I was going down hill because of lack of exercise. Hindsight is 20/20. I kept asking myself how can I get in better shape? Now I do not know how I played so much ball except I loved it and just will power. I found I was taking Myself out of games more but, again age i thought.
I went for a check up for degenerative vertebrae in neck and disks in Lumbar. Doc asked if I felt well and I said not really but, it would be Ok. He said He needed some blood work, which I thought strange He never asked before, I went down stairs had it drawn but, He had said to come back up. At the time He had a plan I did not understand it. He had Me set out in waiting room and some nurses from the hospital came over to the Med Towers which are connected with a wheel chair. I asked Him what was going on and He said My count was 6.3 and hermaticate was so low I do not even remember it. He said I could die any second You have to go to the hospital. I knew something was bad wrong because My tongue had begun to have splits in it for about 5 months and other things. I learned it was a sign of low or no B vitamins in my body. I was void of iron, anemic. The tongue was scurvy You know like sailors use to get with out vitamins from fruit and vegies. I was blessed and got right from the start a great GI that called in an Oncologist/Hematologist and both have been with Me from day one. GI wanted Hemotologist to give the iron and blood as I was in such a dangerous condition that He just did not feel comfortable ordering it. Dr. Baltz came in joked around which He has been the same from the first day I met Him. Teased me about springing a leak. Both greatest Doctors I have ever had, well throw the surgeon in there also.
But they watched Me like a hawk all those years seeing Me every week and talking in the hospital on rounds trying to figure out what was wrong. GI took My case to a world conference in Seattle fall 2002 I think and brought it up in every round table and finally they just discussed it in open meeting for topic of discussion. They intially thought I had vessels in My stomach that grew to close to the stomach wall and would come through bleed and when pressure went down would retract and that is why all the scoping could not find anything. tower You probably know what it is called. Then there was one other but, can't remember what it was. You pick a name of a test and I can tell You if I had. Meckels scans? I never heard of it much less know there was a test for that.
They had University of AR for Medical Sciences use a really tiny scope to see if they could get into the small intestines from the stomach which is not actually supposed to be possible I understand because of a valve unless You swallow the pill camera. They ruled that out as very low % of finding anything with it. Technology is just to hit and miss with it the way it tumbles and they were thinking if they were looking for something small it would most likely miss it.

When the Surgeon and the GI went in to explore the game plan was to make and incesion in top of small int. and push a scope down and if nothing then cut at the bottom and push up.
It did not happen that way as just before going in My Pastor came with Nurses to check on Me and He said I'm going to Pray Your welcome to stay or leave whatever You prefer. He simply Prayed Lord let there be no confusion and no guessing. Guide their eyes, hands, and most of all Their minds. He then asked God that what ever it is let it stand out like a neon sign. I was of course out but, the Docs came out to talk to the family about what happened in surgery and surgeon said they cut me open and My stomach was glowing like a neon sign it was so red and inflamed. I kid You not that is what He said according to the witness's and Pastor. The GI said they looked at each other and surgeon just started there and found the AVM and followed it down into small intestines and just removed until they felt they had enough or like GI said as far as they felt safe to remove. They had explained in advance they felt it was only a 50/50 chance of finding it and a 50/50 chance I could die because they had not been able to get blood numbers up for the surgery. I imagine You know how picky Docs are about all signs being good and Surgeon had tried to back out about 3 days earlier and to be honest in tears on the phone I begged Him not to because this time I was going to die anyway so what difference does it make if it is at home or at least where there is a chance to help Me. He left on a 2 day trip and told Me He would think about it and call Me Monday the morning of the surgery to tell Me if He would go ahead or not. Worse 2 days of My life I think but, I know it really wasn't i thought it was. I'm not ashamed I cried on that phone begging Him not to change His mind that I'm not worried about dieing but, I'm worried about leaving My Daughters with no parent left to look after them. I told Him as for Me it would be a joy to be done with all this and go to Heaven. I asked Him for My Girls, whom he had met when They would take Me for visits, please do not give up for Their sake. I got off the phone and called GI and told Him Surgeon was getting cold feet and He called which I guess they had words because Surgeon did not seem as friendly to Me after. GI said it was god complex that Surgeon is in charge at surgery and even He had to follow His lead. GI felt We had upset Surgeon by questioning what He felt like should be done. I explained to Surgeon that He has been invovled for 1 week I and My 2 other Docs and Family have been dealing with this for almost 3 years or more. They cannot give Me enough whole blood and shoot Me with enough vitamin K anymore to make Me coagulate. It just would not work anymore, all the little tricks they used before would not work. The day before the surgery I got 4 units to get Me to 12 which is where Surgeon said I needed to be before he could work. They could give only so much, You can get iron poisining from to much I think it was. They kind of danced around those rules some with Me for obvious reasons.

tower right now I'm 145 but, worked on H2 all day getting it ready for show and supercharger install on Tuesday or the next day. It is at painter now painting it Stealth Gray. We are chroming everything in the engine compartment We can get. I'll finish Jonahs's gauge design install Monday. Last week put on dual elecric fans and alot of other stuff. Inside chrome door plates and big chrome door pulls. New gauge face from Nu-Image stainless steel. painted needle hubs blue to match blue in cluster face. Gosh I would just have to go out and make a list while walking around.
I'm having fun though so that's what counts.

Thanks for your good will tower and the many others who have PM'd Me asking and checking on me. Since the blood level drop back in Feb. I have been perfect and Doc thinks it was Me not making blood instead of loss since He had begun to spread the iron and vitamin treatments out. He increased them again and everything seems good. The constant blood loss has caused a neuropathy or 2 due to oxygen shortage to my brain so often. It seems to be neuorological but, not known to what degree. RLS and beginnings of some dizziness and a few blackouts. Not sure what to make of that yet but, does not worry Me just an inconvenience. I can feel when the dizziness starts and learned that if doing something that could endanger someone just pull over or do not leave where I'm at in case it leads to a black out like it did on a few occasions. Learning to watch out. Hopefully it goes away. i do not let these minor problems or at least to me minor not slow Me down to much but, I have met others with RLS and it can be life altering. I for some reason have always had a high pain tolerance threshold. So I hope i can hold it back. It gets very painful sometimes but, the feeling like something is crawling on Your legs sort freaks Me out sometime but, knowing what it is I'm adjusting.

Again thanks tower and many others who have followed this weared illness.

How is it going???? Are you guys any further???

How is it going??? Going to have it at the SEMA show?? I am going to be there and would love to see it.

[HUMMERcustoms.com/TAZ]

Getting back in touch with BLOWNZ06 now. I hope we can pick this back up this week or next. Been real busy getting Mall Queen ready for a show but, now getting sicker than a dog and looking bad to go. Just a sinus infection but, I fight immune weakness alittle still but, nothing like before. It is supposed to be raining all day Saturday so that takes allot of the fun out of it. 3000 cars, trucks, suvs, tractor's, tricylces and I quess about anything else that can be driven or pulled in. So needless to say not an inside show and do not care to stand in the rain because of health. There are 2 big ones in Texas I think 1 in June and 1 in July that I hope to get to. Do not have dates or places with Me right now but, when time gets closer I'll let Texas Guys know and maybe some can come by and see Me to say Hi. Have picked up some sponsors and got some last minute stuff and changed from the funcky graphics to an artist doing some air brush designs to look at. Painter finshed painting the supercharger Stealth Gray and polishing all the fins and raised surfaces on it now. Changed what we were doing to a nicer paint job on SC so it will delay install till after weekend. We are painting allot of the brakets and pulleys to match and decided to chrome just about everything We can find under the hood.
Hoping to have HUD worked out with BLOWNZ06 by end of May if not sooner. He is sort of waiting on Me but, to many projects and not enough hands. He has been working on a nice seemless way to mount if We can get it to work. From His comments and towers along with a few others it seems like it should be doable. They both opperate on class 2 serial feeds and did find the Vette does have a board in back of cluster that should be able to be removed and it will translate the serial feed to signal projector can understand. If My Hummer Ser. Manager and the regional Service director for Chevy both undertood what I asked the h2 and vette send the same feeds but, just not enabled in H2 but, they are there. The taps would have to be located as I have not been able to find the numbers for them on the H2 PCM from the 2004 Techline software from GM and the Hummer Ser. manager has not called Me back with locations, he is trying to find out for sure. Most likely I'm not looking in the right place in the software but, really have been busy on the Queen and had to drop it for just a short while.

I go in for Blood panels 5/11 and have been fairly good lately but, have been Umping fastpitch softball for girls and feeling a little tired but, hoping numbers are good. If not Doc always wants Me to stop something to see if it helps and I know He will say stop Umping but, I Love doing it. It is so hard to get anyone to do it. Honestly it is because of the fans. Had a guy not liking My plate call Tuesday night and He got on a cell like He knew somebody and wanted to know My name. I called time went to the fence asked the guy what He needed. Wanted My name? Ok I'm Rick Love and is there a problem? He said He thought I was not doing a good job. I said does not surprise me since Your team is getting the crap kicked out of them. What do you want Me to do cheat for Your team so they will not lose as bad. It is obvious they not going to win this game unless the other team goes home now. He said something on the phone and it was their pitchers Dad. I had already warned the coach that unless His pitcher let's Me get back behind the plate to call strikes it is hard to do as i was moving into position the girl pitched what I thought may have been a strike and I called it a ball because I was still standing up and not done in the strike zone to see for sure, I give the batter the benefit of the doubt. This was all explained and the guy said well Her dad is so and so and He tells Her when the batter is in the box it is legal to pitch. This is correct in USSSA but, I informed Him even though this is so if I'm not there to make call it does not matter how many pitchs she throws it will be a ball because unless the rule HAS BEEN CHANGED IN BASEBALL OR SOFTBALL IN THE LAST 30 YEARS THE PITCHER OR THE FANS CANNOT CALL THEIR OWN BALLS AND STRIKES.
I then asked for the phone to passed through the fence and got on it with the Dad and asked did He coach His daughter all the time from a phone? He said no. I asked did he coach her at home? Yes I very nicely told Him He is doing his daughter a disservice because if He is teaching Her to pitch the ball as hard as she is
She is litterally wearing herself out and throwing so hard Her accurancy is suffering horribly. Throwing hard is not what all the game is about. I suggest You seek a real pitching coach or if You like I would be glad to help as I have trained many fastpitch pitchers and I have called 2 of Your daughters games and have seen enough that I could change allot of what she does, teach her some fenesse pitchs and let her slow down and last a game instead of 3 innings. He was dumbfounded as He and the other coaches acted like I was supposed to know who this goof was and like He would have something to do with me getting to Ump. I explained number one they were not from this park or this city and there is nothing they could do to stop My Umping as I have taught many that are out here now and everyone in this area knows that i have been here along time and reside on the board of directors for sports at this park. Not because I'm all that but, because We have so many know it all parents that We have hard time getting people to be on the board much less Ump. I will be here as long as I want to be.
He said Thanks for the offer to coach his daughter. I said good night and have a good evening and handed the phone back and the next 2 innings to finish the game were quite peaceful as I shocked everyone including My field partner and the fact that the team in question was run ruled but, because there was time left i continued the game so the girls could have the practice time. Most Umps get them over to get away and make more money for the short time they are on the field and go sit down and drink a coke. I do not allow it when I have plate and it is My game to controll as it is exactly what i tell the Ump with Me, it is about the kids not about how much money You can make. If You look at it that way You will never move up in level of Umping as We are graded and get to advance to reginals and nationals of which I'm proud to say I have earned My way to 2 different age group nationals all expense paid and one is in Orlando. But, I take pride in it and would pay My own way for the privledge.
Well as usually i got of track but, I thought this was quite humorous as i was told later that most who came up to talk to Me said they had never seen an Ump do something like that by taking a phone call from a complaining long distance parent coach. I told them it was My pleasure and as long as it is not made a habit I would be glad to discuss over the phone during a game what any of them may have a question about.
They said no thanks it looked a little humilating and they could not believe their eyes or that anyone would even think about doing that. I told them well I'm just weird that way but, the horible thing is I had to let clock run, because of that in the long run hurt the guys daughters team. Not thay could have come back and one but, if nothing else it cost them the ability to have more practice time, it is a rule I conduct my games by so kids can be out there longer and get their moneys worth instead of being out there for 40 minutes instead 75 minutes of alloted time.
Situation controlled and more parents left knowing and word will spread that when Rick is there at the plate just cheer fuss about calls but, be general about it or it is possible to be embarrassed by an Ump. If You do not make a scene Rick will not make a scene to use You for an example of how not to be a bad fan.
Well hope some of You got a laugh out of this picturing it in Your head or at least those of you who coach or Umpire.

[HUMMERcustoms.com/TAZ]

Thanks Jonahs, BlOWNZ06, and tower. I knew if i got it on here there would be Buddies that could help.
I'm trying to work a deal to get a projector from a Vette. The complete cluster and projector was around $700 from salvage but, I'm waiting on a reply to see if just the projector can be bought. I could not understand why the guy told Me that it would be hard because the H2 has a unique design. I guess he meant that the Vette cluster would not fit an H2. I looked at His email again and He said that I would need a gauge cluster to send images to projector. That clears it up more. The cluster is decoding I guess before it sends the pics through the projector to windshield.

BLOWNZ06 does that make more sense as far as what I need to be trying to do. It seems that the problem is the difference in the fact the Vette cluster is designed to interpret the signal and transmit through projector. He said the projector gets info straight from gauge cluster.

BLOWNZ06 I'm ordering the HP tuning also for My Radix. Would You send Me some tips on tuning My H2. This is going to be a new experience for Me. How hard is it to do. They told Me kid stuff?

So if I understand correctly We should not need to have the cluster sending the signal just use the diagnostic port for the signal with the cable You mentioned. Tie the cable into the projector but, the Vette guy said it had to be transmitted after decoded by the cluster. Would the projector accept the info straight from the port? Will this bypass that cluster decoding thing? The projector is just like having a monitor it needs a brain to talk to it which I guess would be the PCM or VCM. Any more thoughts. I have a gmail that KenP helped Me get. OH, the laminate for the projector is made into the windshield of the Vette. You can not see it but, it is designed to clear the picture up so it will not have shadows or be fuzzy. I have not seen one operating but was told it looks like it is a couple of meters away out over the hood. Is that true? When I went to Vette weekend in Bowling Green last Labor Day We did not get to stay long but went through the museum. I asked to see HUD then but, seemed know one could figure out what i was wanting. Alot of the people helping were from the town I think and did not know alot. Fun side trip though.
Gmail is riclove@gmail.com. Would You send the schematics to that email and any other ideas You have. Also tips on tuning with HP tuning.
That goes for You also tower if You do not mind. Jonahs and KenP you know how to reach Me. There are several more of You guys that have the knowledge to help get this done. I would not want to insult any by leaving you out of a list but, I have discussed many things with You so jump in here and help. I appreciate anyones help here. I think this would be a cool Mod for offroaders also. Jonahs said there are some new things in the pipe line that may make this attempt not worth doing and wait for the knew stuff. Jonahs would You share that info with Us and sort of a time line estimate You think it could be. Please and Thank you Buddy.

Jonahs, BLOWNZ06, and tower thank You so much for Your help. Please continue with me on this if You would. Hopefully We could get it to the point anyone who wants this mod can just get the projector and cable and go. I hope it can be that simple. I'm going to order the cable as soon as I can find out if i can get just the projector and research the laminate that is supposed to make it work on any windshield. I have not checked dealer cost but, bet it is way up there. I'm going to the local Chevy dealer and talk to the Vette specialists. He is very good and I have had the chance to visit with Him about other things. Very knowledgable man.

partsguy could You help Us with cost info and any info you can dig up on how to do this mod.

Black 05 if We can figure this out I do not care about selling it, really. I would like to see all the Hummer guys who want it to have it, if it can be worked out.

ChuckE I did not want you to think I was ignoring You. I appologise if My grammar and composition, etc. is incorrect. I have not been in school since I was 20 and at 48 I have forgotten allot. Honestly I have people who check that stuff when I write something. Makes You get lazy with grammar.
But, it has not hindered My ability to be successful as the Lord takes care of that also, along with My hard work as well. My willingness to take risk when others stand around looking at it or thinking about it to long has been a great business philosophy and has given me an edge many times.

I would most definitely have to resign My membership from this forum if gramatic ability was a prerequisite. I apologize.

Oh, just out of curiosty since You mentioned My bringing up God I did a quick search to see and found just quickly now how many times it was brought up in a conversation with me. Now this is not a total of times in the forum overall, just Me, and it was real quick so I mention it could have mistakes but, I was just curious.

DennisAJC mentioned God-1
TAZ-3 well now 4,5,6,7,8,9 since it is in this
KenP-1
ChuckE-1
DRTYFN-3

I capitalize God any time I use it when I refer to My God or something to do with Him. Just the same as Jesus or Christ or Lord.
Even the Holy Spirit. I understand the proper Use of Pronouns etc. but, I break the rules when it comes to My reverance to My belief. Very seldom do I mean just some god in general as it is the God I believe in most of the time if i bring Him up. If I discuss god in general I would not capitalize it. Do not care nor would I want to force anyone else to do the same. It is a personal thing. I also break the rule when I'm talking about someone I respect and care about unless they have a name where they do not capitalize it like tower or sometimes t~. There are many names on the forum with no capitals in them but, they are pronouns in the way they are used.
Thanks for all the help Guys.

You have to think more along the lines of a movie screen than your reflection in a mirror.

[HUMMERcustoms.com/TAZ]

That is a good idea Jonahs. I'll ask the Vette guy Monday about that. I'm going to have the Mall Queen in shop for 2 or 3 days for check ups and bueaty aids. I'll ask service manger about it as well at Hummer Dealer. They are giving it a good go over and updates. I'm pulling all pans or covers for checkup and going back with Royal Purple synthetics. I'm trying to get ready for a bigger show and have 2 weeks to do it and allot to do. Adding a bunch of stuff new gauge face, inside door lights and chromed covers for the door lights, billet chromed inside door pulls, ext. billet chromed door buckets with blue leds that come on when door is opened or remote unlock, and the big job of getting supercharger to painter and install. Oh and My console info center with the boost gauges ect. Lots to do but,several helping. I have been collecting from sponsors and saving to do in one big job. Have a custom install shop doing some and even the Hummer Dealer doing some for free to be on sponsor board. Kind of blew My mind. I did not think they did anything for free. I'm doing the info gauge and face gauge at home do not trust anyone else to do that. If You touch gauge face with bare hands it will leave prints that are not removable. Nu-Image sent white gloves with this kit for You to wear while installing face cover. It is stainless steel.

If Dealers H3's came in over the weekend dealer is going to let me drive one for 2 or 3 days for people to see it out and about.
Talk to you later. I hope Your rig problem is very simple one.

Jonahs You know me to well. You know I'm not going to quit or run from anything. I have fought some big battles that You are aware of so I'm not going anywhere. I'd just have to go back to school rather than give up on My Buddies I have here on the forum.
Thanks

Have not bought a HUD yet. Waiting on some prices. The Hummer Ser. manager said he thougth a scantool cable hooked to diagnastic port feeding HUD with class 2 serial data should work. I have a few more contacts to make tuesday and I will call you and start Our effort to get this done. I mentioned in My reply PM that with projector only 2" thick I think I have a guy that does interior mods with glass that could build an enclosure so dash does not have to be altered. Could hold it on with velcrow or double sided tape so it could be removed for repairs or to hide from prying eyes when away from rig.
Talk to you tuesday.

Very very close. Have view in projector BLOWNZ06 said but missing some info and a few other minor problems We hope. I'm expecting a new update soon. He has had to order plugs to add for install and some have not worked well and he has had to try different one. He is very persistent. His business trips is the only thing that slows Him down or I think He would work on it 24 hours a day.
We are at a point to where We may need to tap into some OBD2 wires coming into the port plug and BlOWN had not planned on a unit for His rig just yet so is hesitant to star cutting into His wiring. I do not blame Him so when He gets far enough to where that needs to be done I have asked Him to just send everything to Me with His directions of what He wants to try and let Me cut into My wiring. So that is sort of where We are at right now. Waiting on Him to get to that point and deciding if He is or not going to tap wires. I'm encouraging Him not to do it and just let Me do that. He could wan to trade His and I'm not going to so i do not want that issue to even have to come up for Him if he were to trade.
so waiting for Him to let me know which way to go next.

Oh, I know what the image looks like, what I am asking about is, that if the image is a reflection off the window, then the display unit must be at an equal angle of reflection from that point as your line of eyesight is.

With the windshield so vertical, it would seem to me that the display unit would almost have to be at nearly the top lip of the dash.

When I go out to my H2 later, I am going to place a small light on the top of the dash to see where the reflection is.

Good luck for anybody who tries this modification. My hat is off to anybody who gets this to work.

Here's a link to a complete HUD system. HUD

Defi-Link Head Up Display (HUD) - VSD Concept

This product is a full-scale Head Up Display (HUD). </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
I purchased this Heads Up Display three years ago when I owned my Chevrolet Avalanche. It is an adequate HUD, and not as small as it looks in the photograph. It displays engine RPMs, speed, etc. but I think I prefer the appearance of the factory HUD in GM vehicles. Defi has released a new HUD system that is much nicer, but I have not had much luck locating a reseller, though their web site does list a few. I would still be using my HUD system if the car audio shop didn't fry it when they were working on my vehicle.

tower You are most likely correct about Me.

Jonahs You are right about the Vette having a special laminate right where the HUD projects as does the BMW's that have it. I saw last night the name of it but, I forget what is was.

Jonahs I have not seen some of the newer technology in the pipeline. I did talk to some people that said there is a clear laminate that can be put on inside of windshield that helps the angle problem and You can not see it. Have You come across this idea in Your research. I have been told a Vette projector will work if We can find a processor or controller to tie into the H2 wiring going to the gauge cluster and read the bianary code and translate it to the Vette projector. They call it a controller or switch but, what We are talking about is just a mini computer with very little power.
I'm talking to a guy in Australia that designs HUD's for military apps and is intrigued by the idea so I do not know if he is going to mess with it. I also visited with a Vette salvage yard and some electronics people there that deal with the HUD and they said projector will work just, got to find a way to tap H2 because the H2 is not GM specific but, it has it's own code.
I talked to a Camaro owner who is converting Vette HUD to His ride and He says that the binary is the same or very similar for most all GM models and it comes from the tranny and that is where He is tapping in at the gauge cluster is the feed from tranny. It does not seem completely right as the Vette HUD tells MPH, RPM, TEMPS, and other. I do not see getting some of that info from the tranny.
Thanks Jonahs send Me some info on what is coming up and it may just pay to wait.

I have heard defi works good bt, I just do not like the look of box etc. It just would not work for shows. thus began My interest in building one to integrate inot H2 dash.
So will see how it turns out.
