Unless! they show the radio station channel on the HUD whenever it's changed, now that would be great! so they can still keep the HUD info minimal but have the ability to display the channels.
One day I was trolling the NHTSA site for legacy recall and TSB stuff, and came upon a software patch that incidentally (not it's primary goal) removed the tach from the HUD on CX-9s because it was deemed to be "too distracting." So at one point there was at least
that information before the "You'll shoot your eye out" crowd got hold of it.
I'd like the option to add (or be able to pulse for a few seconds):
>Radio station/song info (maybe just when changing channels)
>Turn signals (why are these not in the mirrors where we can see that they're on?)
>Transmission gear (turn off when cruising in 6th)
>Tach (turn off when cruising in 6th)
>Coolant temp (perhaps bring up when it starts to increase from a steady state)
All of those things have gauges (or a screen) that require taking our eyes off the road. How is being on the HUD worse than looking down at the dash?
