Heads Up Display Quit Working
My HUD quit working today. Drove to the grocery store and it was fine. Started the car up leaving the grocery store and it was completely blank. Checked settings and they're all correct. Don't know if this could be related, but I took a pretty hard hit from a pothole (it was raining and couldn't see it) on the last drive before the one to the grocery store. Any other ideas, or does it sound like it just needs some maintenance attention (lightbulb?)?

Use ISTA+ to diagnose. I was playing with it and ista could command the HUD to display all kind of things, even turn the display sideways. You may have knocked something loose on that pothole, but you'd think it would have went out then, not on the next drive . It's maintenance free so I doubt it's something as simple as a bulb. You could try disconnecting the battery for an hour to force a cold boot.

A long shot.... if I'm wearing my polarized sunglasses, I'm not able to see the HUD. The glasses cause the screen to go blank. By chance, were you wearing sunglasses when the problem occurred?

Actually I've done that once or twice myself when I misplaced my non-polarized pair and grabbed some backups that were polarized. It was a WTF few minutes each time until I realized what had changed.
