Lightbulb Heads Up Display

The heads up is to low for me. I am wanting closer to my field of vision when driving. As it is now i have to look down and its really not much different that looking at the speedo. I have it adjusted as high as it will go in the setting and i even tried to lower my seat (helped a bit). I am only 5'9.

Any advice?

Can this be coded higher or it a physical limitation?

Anyone else have this problem?

Thanks,
JS

I'm pretty sure the optics limit the range. Have not run into this issue, maybe somebody else?

I'm 6' and it works great for me.

Some thoughts:
  1. Don't adjust wearing polarized sunglasses
  2. The HUD setting are stored "for the remote control currently in use"
  3. "Settings"
  4. "Head-Up Display"
  5. "Height"
  6. Turn the controller
I can't imagine it will be to low. If no Joy take it to your dealer.

Thanks all above have been done. So no luck don't know why mine is so low. Will have to get it looked at when the car is back state side.

The HUD height adjustment offers a huge range. I can't imagine it being too low where you can't see it while set at maximum height.
