HUD Niggles

planemad · 03-24-2016, 05:40 PM

Loving the heads up display but does anyone else find that it's not projected central to the steering wheel, mine is slightly bias to the left.

I can change the height of the display and also the angle to square the text but no side to side movement.

That's the most middle class first world problem I've heard all week

Sit further to the right!

When I first got mine the HUD was off to the right. So much that I made a thread about it. After a day or two it moved back to the middle. Not sure why though

Have you tried to adjust the alignment and focus from the Idrive menu? Sure you can move from right to left

First thing I noticed and others have commented on it as well when they have driven the car.

I like to sit to the left and the speed limit display disappears from view.

I wonder if they change the position for right hand drive vehicles? I would think slightly to the left would be convenient for left hand drive as that would be roughly in line with your view

My overall display sits in much the middle but different bits of information sit in different places- not everything can sit right in the middle!
I suppose most people want the speed to sit right in the middle?

I had my SLD retro programmed in a couple of months back and on mine when I sit naturally it chops a small slice off the side of circle, I only have to move my head a tiny bit and it's all in view, I just put it down to me sitting strange.
