Hi everybody!

I just picked up a heads-up display from a Maxima at a junkyard. I'd like to try putting it in my car (not a Nissan), but I need a wiring diagram to hook it up. I didn't think to check what year the car was, but I'd probably recognize the dash in a picture to at least get the generation right. Can anybody help me with a schematic?

Thanks.

 

OK, maybe it was an Altima.
Anybody have an Altima wiring diagram?

 

I know the 3rd gens had a HUD, don't know if other gens have them.

 

240's, 300's all earlier models came with HUD too.

 

What's a heads up display?

I'm thinking it's what fighter pilots have and what's on the newer vettes??

 

 

 

yea please further explain what do u mean by heads up display cause i think some in here (like me) may have different ideas on what it actually is. pics please

 

After doing some research online, I'm pretty sure it's from a 1st gen Altima. It was mounted in the top left corner of the dash, facing up. I'm hoping the 12 wires going to the driver board are just simple signals like speed pulse, turn signals, door ajar, etc. If I knew at least ground and power, I could probably figure out the rest of them. The display appears backwards due to the mirror inside the case.

 

I had this on my 89' Maxima. But my car did have a special finish on the windshield where the information was displayed; I am not sure how you are going to recreate that so that the image will show up clearly on the windshield.

 

I think its called....a mirror?

Isn't that what most of them have on the windshield? It's like a thin piece of reflective film with a sticky adhesive backing.

Ummmmm NO... It wasnt a reflective film just stuck onto the windsheild, it was actually built into the glass.. Plus it was quite transparent..

 

A piece of window tint works too

 

its UV film not window tint...i have had 2 240sx's with it and one without and i swapped the cluster...into another and had to get UV film. good luck finding that

 

anyone know why the HUD never became popular. i know i'd have loved to have it there. why'd they take it away?
