I'm not sure, and I'm not going to try. I've done limited research into it, because I honestly haven't been open minded about it. But it seems like it's a GM feature that would only work on GM cars pre-wired to connect to a HUD. The corvette also displays lateral G-force, so that probably wouldn't be a OBD-II style connection (making it easily transferable to other vehicles). Besides I'm just not going to pay for an aftermarket HUD.

And I'm still haven't seen one (factory or aftermarket) on the market that displays MPG, although some have made that assertion.
