Full color confirmed. And high resolution to boot: BMW has been the standard bearer, offering HUDs for more than a decade with monochrome HUDs, partial-color HUDs using a 128-by-128 pixel Osram LED array that created a red-orange-green display, and now full-color.
Anything is possible I suppose, but HUD requires different hardware in the dash to project to a windshield that is specifically made for HUD. Then the software would need to be coded as well. If you could get somebody to do it, the cost would be many thousands. I strongly suspect nobody has done such a conversion.The BMW Head-Up Display is controlled via the BMW iDrive Controller. The head-up display system works by utilizing a system of projector and mirrors which projects high-contrast images onto a transparent film on the BMW front windshield. The Head-Up Display is located directly in front of the driver’s line of eyesight on the front windshield. Check your ediabas.ini settings for the EDIABAS in use, as you had INPA, you will have two EDIABAS, one from the BMW Standard tools installed in c:\ediabas\bin, and one from ISTA in c:\Rheingold\ediabas\bin. When you install BMW Standard Tools, it set up a system env var: EDIABAS_CONFIG_DIR = C:\EDIABAS\BIN\, and adds it to the PATH. I think the module needs coding. I bought my replacement module off eBay. I SPECIFICALLY made sure it's for F10 2014 and up. After body shop removed the bumper, accessed the headlight and replaced the module, it still DID NOT WORK. I've been driving all summer with only (1) Drivers side angel eyes working. Very embarrassing. 2014 F10 Screen Upgrade. Hi. I have found a Professional NBT screen for sale on eBay. I have the Business 6.5" screen. The sale doesn't include the head unit. I am pretty sure I read somewhere a while ago that , even if the car was NBT, just changing the screen would not work as the head unit drives the screen. I can't find that information again.
A real heads up display is one that projects onto the windshield. Those that are projected onto a piece of dedicated glass are IMO not a true heads up. The new S Class now has it as of 2015 model year. It works pretty well on my S65 AMG. It's a little different than the BMW.. while you can move the display up and down, you cannot customize the
