Anyone find anything on the HUD? Any videos?

So, is this absolutely confirmed that there is no HUD on the base model? This is the only thing I'd like to have from the Premium model; well, maybe the 8.8 inch screen too, but certainly not the 110 lbs extra weight. I'd be happy if a HUD was possible on the base version as well.

Depending on your location and dealership, you can probably custom order one to your preferred specs and features at the cost of additional waiting time.

As much as I wish that was the dash, I don’t think it is....

I believe the center ring is permanently mounted, meaning that it can’t move over and display the GPS as shown in the video.

I really hope I am wrong though!

i believe you are right but I am also praying that you are wrong lol

That is an aftermarket dash with the GUI inspired by the A90. It has nothing to do with the A90 Supra dash, which has the tacho mounted permanently in the centre.

I am pretty sure that I have seen every Supra video on YouTube that has been released since about November.

I can’t seem to find anything on the HUD, or the upgraded stereo, or Supra connect for that matter....heck, even seeing AppleCare play would be nice.

Anybody with a car wanna be a Youtuber for a day and show us what we are missing?

(Or if you know of vids, please link them up)

My nights are long....too long that I have watched vids in languages I can’t even describe...soon, soon I will be at peace when my Supra comes home....until then I am a lost sheep with no shepherd....

Haha yeah I was trying to find stuff on the HUD too before I got my car - that's something you figure that there would be more videos about but there surprisingly isn't...

As for the speakers, they're nice, but I'm not sure that filming them (even with my GoPro) would do the sound justice.

For now, I'm just going to post some pictures of what the Supra connect app and website look like (my phone is in Japanese, but you should probably be able to tell what is what from the icons, and also from what the options are on the website).

One thing that really bothers me is that if I log in through the website (https://www.supraconnect.com/) it displays my car as a nocturnal black LE with the red mirror caps. However, if I log in through the phone app, it display it as just a normal black 3.0 premium. Not that it matters, but the inconsistency bothers my OCD-ness lol.

Another thing that I can't figure out is on my phone app, it has a list of enabled and disabled features. The "find my car" feature is disabled for some reason and I have no idea how to turn it on.

Make sure you have the box checked for vehicle tracking in idrive (Vehicle settings-> vehicle tracking).

So I can't record a video because I don't have the equipment for that and you cannot see the HUD from the passenger seat, but it's really that THAT special It displays the current posted speed limit, current speed, GPS information (e.g. an arrow pointing to the left with a mileage countdown as to when you have to make that turn), and I think you get warnings for when it thinks you're going to hit the car in front. The position can be adjusted as well as the brightness etc.

I can add that if this like the BMW HUD in my JCW when you select a audio source i.e. XM the ch's will display for scrolling and the same for music you are listening too regardless of source. The Navigation ( no Car Plays) will show more information than a arrow at times. Yes the flashing red car that appears when someone cuts you off...thanks HUD!

My JCW also shows a tack, gear and shift lights which are very useful. Not sure about the Supra.

HUD might be tough for an ordinary person to capture well on video, but it is 100% the same as BMW's HUD layout/graphics/features, so you might want to look at some examples from BMW. Same goes for the CarPlay integration, which is one of the best in the business right now. You can run CarPlay in parallel with iDrive and go between them easily.

Once you get used to the HUD it's hard to live without it. Anytime I drive a different vehicle without HUD, I find myself hunting around for the speedometer. Having the speed limit information is nice too.

I must say I do love the HUD as well. I feel like it could have been position more to the right. There is a setting for height adjustment but not horizontal.. It's very clear even under direct sunlight. Shows speed, Navigation directions, etc. very clear adequate info. With the Speed Limit indicator, I realize that I cannot stick to the speed limits with the Supra On my M/T 86, gear I'm in was a good speed limiting factor

I haven't tested the speakers to extremities, but I can say that it's crisp. I've tried FM, SXM, Pandora Plus (thru iPhone). I've yet to try a higher quality audio and with high bass.

Supra Connect app is .... OK. nothing special about it. The comfort mode seems like a good feature. Haven't used it remotely. I tried it when I was in the car It says ventilate and I think that's the only thing it does. So no A/C, just vents.

I'll try to take pics of HUD if I can..

Supra Connect Web Interface:
Mine also shows regular Supra in Phone app, but shows as LE in web.

There seems to be an Automatic Map Update feature in Web interface of Supra Connect. See below pic.
