Anyone know of a good HUD that will work with the 2015 fusion hybrid?

Try Google.

Try Google.

I did and could not find a clear answer, that is why I asked here.

Might want to search our forums. I recall seeing something about a HUD posted in 2013.

Not much else I can suggest. Whenever I do an issue specific Google search, any posts that are in automotive forums usually show up in the results. I have found many an answer to many a question (Mustang, Fusion, MKZ, Sport Trac, etc.) by using Google to find a useful forum post. Oh well. :)

You want something that projects your speed/next GPS turn/etc onto the windshield? Google "aftermarket HUD for cars" and this is the first result: http://www.gizmag.com/navdy-hud-car/33247/

 

I rented a BMW 425d in Munich once and it had a HUD which showed your speed, the current road's speed limit, your next GPS turn, and even lane assistance (i.e. if your next turn requires you to keep to the second rightmost lane, it illustrates that on the HUD). Really cool feature that I wish would trickle down to non-luxury brands, but I can live without it.

 

Personally, I find that the 4.2" screens in the dashboard are a good enough substitute for a HUD (I always set my right screen to show the next GPS turn). I wouldn't bother buying an aftermarket HUD - it's just another item that you have to stash away every time you park or risk getting your window smashed by a thief (it frequently happens with aftermarket GPS units).

I thought I have seen that Garmin has a new nav system that uses an HUD.

Garmin has had such products available for a while now. It's just a projector that links to the GPS unit and emits a HUD effect. But it's another accessory that trails a wire from the 12V port and wouldn't look great, plus it can attract thieves when the car is parked.

 

I personally find that the presence of the multi-function LCDs in the instrument cluster is an effective "poor man's HUD".
