Lightbulb Heads Up Display - HUD

Does anyone have a aftermarket Heads Up Display in the GX? I saw an aftermarket HUD in someone's GX the other night and thought it would be a interesting to add. I see them online for less than $50. Thoughts?

I believe those $50 ones are just a cheap LCD display and a piece of transparent plastic.

If there is anything that can be hidden under the dash and display directly to the windshield, I will be interested to know.

I've thought about some of these but many rely on OBD port and not sure if I want to plug too many devices in there since I have the mirror folding OBD mod on there already. I'm still open to trying though.

Folding mirror module is incompatible with HUD OBD devices. When using it together, the folding mirror function will be disabled.

Looks like the HUD is off the list now. I value the folding mirrors a lot more.

Looks like a HUD unit that replaces driver dash speaker grille

Starts at 0:30

That's really clever. How are you finding all of these on youtube and why isn't there a market in the US for GX accessories?
I wouldn't mind having this replacing the speaker grille as long as it fits properly, can be used in tandem with the obd mirror folding module, and if we can trim down that reflective sticker on the windshield.

I'm seeing:
Speed
RPM
Turn signal
Doors
and... what looks like TPMS indicators in 4 corners.....

I wonder if all the cutouts on the HUD work with the GX.

I just use Google Alerts

I'd be interested myself but I suspect it probably has to plug directly into OBD port which may cause some conflict with other devices

I think this is made for Toyota Prado ... cause I saw one on Aliexpress ... and they sale for $128 (shipping included)

But in the video ... look likes it’s not perfectly fit ... they just drop it in ... not snap ...
