I believe there's also a "stealth mode" that would activate the HUD and turn out all of the other interior lights.

It works flawlessly 95% of the time too which is great!

Is nothing sacred these days? Must we plaster everything with advertisements? The only thing Ads on a HUD will kill is the driver in the other car, when you run into them. *Redmond is also planning to incorporate “ad” space in the interface, which will surely kill the innovation altogether.*
