Also for those that wear polarised sun glasses, they pretty much prevent you from seeing the HUD. Which is annoying.

I should be getting my XC60 next month - I live in Warsaw so we have really long winter so heated windscreen was obvious choice - even tough it delayed the car delivery 1 month according to the dealer

Not much choice for us really as we were looking for a car in stock with a dealer for quick delivery. The XC90 had just arrived and had winter pack with heated screen. Probably wouldn't have specc'd it, but will be handy when/if needed, think the heated steering will get some use with my wife.
Never really felt the need for HUD, had it in courtesy cars and thought it a bit gimmicky for a car. Now if it had a missile "lock-on" mode, that would be another matter |

Volvo are missing a few tricks with the HUD. Continental (who actually design and implement all of the "Volvo" driver support technology) offer the HUD with an augmented reality mode where it draws boxes around, for example, the car the adaptive cruise is locked on to.
I think it's a great idea. The heated windscreen is brilliant about 5 times a year, this is useful on every journey. |

The wires in heated screen however are there with glasses or not - do not try to spot them - if you do once you will see them every time.

It appears this topic has become somewhat academic for me, as the dealer my employer's leasing company is using here in NL has just contacted me to say that the Heated Front Screen I optioned on my T8 is not available for the 'foreseeable future' according to Volvo, whatever that means.
I will change my order to include the Head Up display, as I would have had it if it was possible with the Heated Screen. I suppose the Screen was only a bit of a nice to have considering the car has the pre-heater of course. Andrew |

If I had my sunglasses on I had to lean my head to the side to clearly see the screen on my old Tomtom sat on the dashtop. |

Sorry to be pedantic, but there is no such thing as an LED screen. It's an LCD with LED backlighting
