    The HUD display in the 2017.

    I really like the HUD, though like others have mentioned bright sunlight and polarized sunglasses can make it dicey to read. I just wish they had thrown the compass heading up there, I'd like to have a compass and be able to see the MPG gauge at he same time. I know I can see my heading on the...

    2017~2025 So just who designed the speech announcement system?

    2017~2025 So just who designed the speech announcement system?

    My install experience. This is a copy of a review I left on ebay after doing the install. I suspect the folks on this forum are a little more savvy than the average guy, but figure it couldn't hurt to post my experience here. I bought these hoping they'll help keep the car a bit cleaner in...
