Load of crap if you ask me, I had it on my M5 and it just annoyed me on dark motorway journeys

So a HUD would be a distraction but an iPhone and an app wouldn't? Oh, and not everyone has, or wants, an iPhone.

Buts lots of us do have an iphone so it does make sense I you want that sort of thing (not that I do).

With me it was the opposite - I wanted to turn it off when the car was delivered but quickly realised its value and it has been on for 70,000 miles and six years. It is not a distraction as it hovers on the road in front of you and when lots is going on around you even looking down for a couple of seconds can get you into trouble. In the dark it is dimmed with the rest of the instruments and those that have driven the car have, without exception, agreed on its merits. Turning it off would be like switching off the air-con because you can open the windows! I miss it terribly when driving the Sport so I am hoping Land Rover will offer it on the next generation models. But if you had an M5 you probably spent your time watching the fuel gauge, engine failure warning lights and wondering where the hell all the torque was The only improvement I could see for this device would be to use GPS rather than require the OBD connection and trailing wires.
