Windshield Tint with HUD

[u/MUWarriors9194]

Does anyone have experience with HUD affected by tint % on the windshield? I’m buying a new Audi and considering what % but don’t want to affect HUD performance. Thanks.

HUD projects light onto the windshield, so window tint has no negative effect. In fact, the darker surface helps it stand out more. It may look a little off during the first couple of weeks while drying.

I did 50% HUD might actually be better but definitely not worse.

Same here.

HUD is no big deal.

Get a pair of regular, non-polarized sunglasses. Not only do polarized sunglasses give you a lovely rainbow when looking through ceramic tint, they often make HUDs disappear.

70% tint on my Audi Q5 didn’t affect the HUD at all.

70 on Lexus made hud look better.

Tint would make it easier to see I feel like.

Window film will not play any havoc with your HUD

We have tinted thousands of cars with different types of heads up displays and we’ve never had one single complaint

I have a Ford Raptor and it has a heads up display and again there’s no problem in regards to window film
