Any thoughts of keeping it covered when garaged? My CX-5 can spend 4 days in the garage without being moved. Wife and I carpool to work each day (we work in the same office).Here's a piccie of the HUD projector if anyone is interested. I'm guessing it'll get good and dusty down there....

There is a reason my 3 year old CX-5 only has 13,800 miles...
Does you garage create lots of dust that can cover your car? Does it allow grim to enter from the outside?
If no is the answer then probably no reason to keep it covered.
Bare concrete floor and the salt/sand applied heavily to our winter roads gets tracked into the garage pretty easily. Even in a closed car the dash will get dusty within a week. Now we have the trees pollinating so a car left outside will get grimy in a day.

You will NEVER notice this on the HUD due to the brightness and resolution on there. Example. I have a 1080p home projector system with a 120" screen. There is dust on the lens but you never see it on the screen because of the brightness and size.
I had my Mazda3 with its cheap plastic HUD. Used the same concept where it was projected on the HUD screen. In 8 months of use 6 months of which the windows were rolled down and 20K miles put on the thing there was no detectable difference with dust accumulation.
The only time you would notice is if you get debris, not dust in the area. Leaf particles, dust bunnies, etc.
I like the Mazda system better.
While my car is in for services, here is my loaner, the 2 series active tourer with HUD.

Nope. Moving parts is a bad thing. Its cool, but the more moving parts you have the more things can break on the system. Right there I'm seeing the door that opens....one. The flip up display.....two. And obviously the projector......three. Now have that move at minimum 2 times per drive (There and back home.) x 365 days x 4 years. That is just shy of 3,000 times that door opens and closes, the screen flips up.
Nope.
Based off personal experience, I'd trust Mazda's electronics over BMW's.
My e90 that I drove for 8 years disagrees.
I also have our third CX-5 on the way, so I think I can be objective about either brand.

Getting back to the HUD. I was kinda disappointed that the CX-5 didn't have the tachometer on the CX-5 like they did with the CX-9, then I found out that Mazda removed it from the CX-9 in an update. I wonder why.

Information overload perhaps (scratch) Or their is more important stuff to be shown than the tachometer
