I have other issues with A7 (namely the seats) so I'll also be looking at the new A6 when it arrives later this summer. I suspect the HUD in the A6 will be the same setup since both interior designs are about the same.

Not a big deal
As I have an A7 with the Innovation package on order, I was concerned when I first saw this post. After trekking down to the dealership again to see an A7 with a HUD I didn't think it was a big deal at all.

Is the HUD packed with super technologies that justify the level of bulk and unsightliness accorded with that design?
In comparison with the BMW HUD (which is discrete and effectively 'invisible') I wonder why Audi even shipped with that design. Looks very poor IMO.

Hello - I test drove the A7 today and it was excellent. I will be purchasing one in few months....I have a question about HUD....Do you guys know what information does HUD display other then just speed? I looked at 2012 A6 HUD (assuming it will be the same in A7)we couldn't get the navi information to display on the A6 HUD and the salesperson wasn't sure about what other information HUD displays. It would be really odd if the HUD can only display the speed.
Can someone clarify what other information the Audi A7 HUD displays?
Thanks for your help in advance.

I'm not too sure about that. The new HUD in the F10 (5 series) is truly amazing...you may be thinking about the last generation from BMW. This is Audi's very first attempt at HUD and unfortunately does not compare to the HUD in the new 5 series.

I have the HUD in my A7. Frankly I think it is a bit disappointing. Despite adjusting the brightness, I still sometimes find it hard to read the speed in bright light. Overall the quality of the display and available info doesn't compare to the pic of the BMW HUD display above.
My wife has a HUD in her GMC, and in addition to speed and navaigation data, it includes radio station and song info when you change the station. The A7 HUD just isn't that impressive.
That said, I love the car. Just think Audi came up a bit short on the HUD wow factor.

This picture is unfortunately incorrect. My colleague picked up a brand new 535xi a week ago and the HUD looks like the old one, ie orange display, no multi-color.
