I have a 2015 Yukon Denali without the hud and am interested in adding it. Do I have to buy another cluster and have it programmed to the specific hud? Or is that only for adding the hud and cluster to trucks? I would imagine there would still need to be programming done for the hud to work with my cluster.

You won’t need to buy another cluster. It’s my understanding you will need the Denali cluster programmed to have the HUD feature enabled in it. You don’t have to program the HUD unit itself.

Have you had any luck? I'm trying to do the same thing to my 2016 Yukon Denali. I have all the parts except for the connection from my cluster is different than the OEM HUD projector because mine came with the front collision alert.
You won’t use that connector with the HUD. It will take a custom harness. @pgamboa can make them. You’ll also need a usb cable. I can give you the part number if needed.

Sorry if this is an ignorant question but how do you switch between the 3 different modes on the Denali instrument cluster? I can't seem to find it in the owners manual. Which mode do you like the most?

jpcortese, page 155, also for quick reference look at the index in the back of the manual.
I wanted to update you guys. My windshield got a rock chip that ran across it. I was able to get the glass shop to order an HUD spec windshield for replacement. The ghosting is gone. The display is much clearer now. Pics don’t do it justice.
Here was a before shot

Looks nice, did not know they came with Heads up on these.

Installed a Yukon Denali cluster and HUD unit in my 2015.5 Yukon SLT this weekend. The cluster had to be programmed to my vehicle and to enable HUD functionality. I created a custom wiring harness as the only way to add those connections is through swapping the I/P harness. The rest was just swapping parts.

I love this post! Would love to do this to my 2019 LT Suburban...
Quick questions? I tried researching as much as I could and couldn’t find anything...
I have the forward collision alert with the HUD that only flashes red on the windshield. For this conversion would I only need the Cluster, switches and The harness you mention ? Or would it be all plug and play from WAM ?
thanks again
@GMJay - i have successfully upgraded my forward collision in my '15 Yukon Denali to HUD (Thanks to @cmatt and others) - I am 99% there - I have data being displayed (Default view), i believe I will need WAM to program the cluster to get the other views. I would highly recommend the custom harness, will make your life a lot easier. Also, getting HUD windshield makes a night and day difference.
The FWD collision (flashing red lights) is not a HUD, just LEDs. You would need:
- HUD
- Denali cluster (programmed by WAMS)
- Custom harness
- HUD control
- new driver side vent with hole for HUD control
This is a good place to start

Hi I’ve got a 2020 Tahoe rst edition looking to do this upgrade. I have found most of the parts not purchased yet but do they make a Tahoe digital cluster so it’s blue? Also anyone know how to make this custom harness for The hud display and what parts need to be change out to fit it?
