The Heads-Up Display (HUD) in the 2020 Acura RDX is a driver-focused feature designed to project essential driving information — like speed, navigation, and safety alerts — directly onto the windshield. While this system generally operates smoothly, some drivers may occasionally experience issues. If you're noticing 2020 Acura RDX heads up display problems, here are some common causes and troubleshooting tips.
Common Issues and Quick Fixes
1. HUD Not Turning On
If the HUD isn't displaying anything, start by checking if it’s enabled in your vehicle's settings:
- Go to Settings > Heads-Up Display on your infotainment screen.
- Make sure the HUD is toggled ON and the brightness is adequately adjusted.
2. Display Alignment Problems
Some drivers report the HUD is misaligned or cut off. If this is the case for you, try these fixes:
- Use the multi-directional knob located to the left of the steering wheel to adjust the height and angle of the display.
- If multiple drivers use your Acura RDX, individual profiles might affect HUD placement—make sure your personal settings are selected.
3. Flickering or Intermittent Display
Flickering may result from software glitches or sensor interference, so you should:
- Try restarting your RDX to reset the infotainment and HUD systems.
- Check for any objects or tinting on the windshield that could interfere with projection.
- If flickering persists, a software update may be required.
4. Incomplete or Inaccurate Data
If speed or navigation data seems off:
- Ensure GPS and speed sensor systems are functioning.
- Try resetting the infotainment system by holding the power button for 10 seconds.
- Confirm that your smartphone connection (if using Apple CarPlay® or Android Auto™) is stable.
