Heads-Up Display Windscreen

Heads-up display (HUD) windscreens have a special reflective wedge layer that projects HUD imagery; aftermarket window film must not interfere with this layer.

HUD-equipped cars (BMW, Audi, Mercedes, Volvo, modern Mazda and Toyota flagships) use a wedge-laminated windscreen with an internal reflective layer to project HUD content visibly to the driver.

Standard clear-IR film does not affect HUD performance because the film sits behind the wedge layer. Some metallised films can interfere — another reason to use ceramic on HUD windscreens.

We confirm HUD presence during pre-installation walk-around and verify HUD function post-installation as part of QC.
