Heads Up Display

[CR-V5gen]

I have a '21 plate CR-V Ex fitted with a Heads Up Display. When switched on the screen pops up in front of the steering wheel. Last month however this stopped working; it deploys about 25%, judders and then returns to about 20% deployed meaning it can't be read. Local Honda dealer said that while the projector is working the screen is somehow jammed and they can't fix it. The drive mechanism is a sealed unit and can't be taken apart to see what's wrong. Quote for replacement is £3800 !!

Has anyone had this problem? How do you remove the unit from the dash? Have seen a picture of one on eBay and it seems to be held together by screws, not a sealed unit. Any help would be appreciated.

Have you tried to manually adjust the angle with the controls down by your right knee?

It may also be worth using a can of compressed air to (carefully) clear any possible blockage.

Thanks for your reply. I've tried adjusting the angle but that doesn't do anything now. Honda took the unit out to check and found no foreign bodies. They concluded the only solution was to replace the unit and quoted me £3800.
I just want to investigate further before deciding what to do.

You could try an auto electrician, or one of those companies that service dash pods and so on?

Another option is to contact Honda UK and make them aware of the issue to see what they suggest.
