Setting Head-Up Display

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 BMW 645Ci and 2004 BMW 645Ci. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

There is a 2-piece adjustment tool for setting the head-up display. This comprises:

NOTE: The Central Information Display must be removed to adjust the head-up display.  To access the head-up display adjusting screw with the adjustment spanner, the central information display must be removed. Access to the flexible shaft is also only possible once the central information display has been removed.

The projection gauge is engaged on the retainers of the sun visors.

The test card for adjusting is called up with the DIS tester (diagnosis and information system). The projection display projects the test card via the windscreen onto the scale of the projection gauge.

The head-up display can only be adjusted vertically using the adjustment spanner on the adjusting screw.

If the projected image is not level, this can be corrected by manually turning the projection display with the flexible shaft (as of 12/2003).
