Don't know anything about the C7 stuff. If I ever get my hands on one, I'd give it a shot!

If you don't mind giving out your secrets, what was involved in making this work? Just buying the correct connectors and a repin? Also, how did you mount the cluster in the dash, did it bolt right in or was there fab involved?

Thanks

In the hud, the focal length of the projector lens is fixed. Unless the unit is placed at the same distance and angle with respect to the windshield as it is in a c6, it will be blurry. A lot of measurements and custom mounting would need to be done.

I might be attempting something like this for the C7 on c5 or at least the hud.
