Default Heads Up Display

Heads Up Display is a 1500 to 2000 option on new 2019 Cayenne. Have loved it on 2015 BMW X5 but have no experience with this option on Porsche? Any advice would be appreciated.

It's the very first time Porsche has offered it on any model, so you won't get any reliable, past-performance information on it.

The option is also facing supplier delays.

The public configurator has a caveat about this option: limited visibility wearing polarized sunglasses. Any comments about it's usefulness in the daytime? I would imagine most people's sunglasses are polarized.

Hud works poorly wz polarized glasses ...I have 4 former hud units in Lexus and BWM's ,,, assuming Porsche has not re-invented the systm ,, its going to be a pblm ,,, The work-a round (limited vis) required you to move your field of vision laterally...Which was a p.i.t.a. ...Bottom line - Restrictions for users of Polarized lens wth HUD are problematic, but doable .

I had a HUD in a 2001 Corvette and even with polarized sunglasses on, it was simply awesome.

I loved it so much that I have had an aftermarket HUD in every one of my vehicles ever since.

Right now I have the aftermarket HUD for speed, that I had used in my 2012 Touareg, in the 2016 Cayenne and no matter the cost, if I were to get another vehicle and the option was there from the factory, I'd get it without needing to think on it for a single second as HUD for me is mandatory. Not needing to look down for the speed when it is right there, at the bottom of the windshield is the best thing ever invented for those who really like to drive and drive fast.

My HUD is GPS so all I need is to plug it into the 12V in the rear.

Agree. I loved it in my Z06s! When you have it, you really come to rely on it.

Unless you have a Cadillac, whose hud works perfectly fine with polarized glasses.
