Heads up!

The phone on the screen blocks out anything behind it whereas the reflection allows you to see through.

I achieved the same effect in my MG Metro to which I had fitted the talking digi dash from an early MG maestro by placing a mirror at the correct angle on the top of the steering column, must have been 20 years ago.

Yes I asked on another forum about these and got a good reply some saying wish they had bought it earlier

I mount my phone on the screen just above the dash, it doesn't interfere with me seeing where I'm going, anyhow the heads up display would be next to useless here in Oz as the sunlight is so bright you'd rarely see it.

i bet that metro talking cars owns ....with its heads up and talking dash looks like the car in knight rider

Sadly it went more than 15 years ago, the dash rests in the shed awaiting a new home.
