62 30... General notes on the Head-Up Display

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 BMW X5 M, 2012 BMW X5 M, 2011 BMW X5 M, and 2010 BMW X5 M. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE: A special windscreen must be fitted to ensure that the Head-Up Display image can be projected correctly.

This windscreen comprises three sections. An outer and an inner glass pane are connected by a wedge-shaped plastic film.

The wedge shape prevents double projection of the Head-Up Display.

When the windscreen is replaced, the vehicle identification number and parts catalogue must be consulted to ascertain whether the windscreen in question is suitable for Head-Up Display.

Example of the display with a conventional windscreen:

With a conventional windscreen, the projected image is reflected on the inner and outer glass pane, producing a double image.
