HEAD_UP_DISPLAY_ENABLED

What it is

Head up display (HUD) enabled

This property allows the user to turn on/off the HUD for their seat.

Each HUD in the vehicle should be assigned to the seat that is intended to use it. For example, if there is a single HUD in the vehicle that is used by the driver so that they no longer need to continuously look at the instrument cluster, then this property should be defined with a single area ID equal to the driver's seat area value.

How the ID is built

A property ID is a 32-bit value packing four fields. Reading 0x15200a06 apart:

FieldMaskValueMeans
Group0xf00000000x10000000SYSTEM
Area0x0f0000000x05000000SEAT
Type0x00ff00000x00200000BOOLEAN
Ordinal0x0000ffff0x00000a060xa06

Reading it from an app

CarPropertyManager mgr = (CarPropertyManager)
        car.getCarManager(Car.PROPERTY_SERVICE);

boolean value =
        mgr.getBooleanProperty(VehiclePropertyIds.HEAD_UP_DISPLAY_ENABLED, areaId);

This property can be read and written, though an OEM may implement it as read-only. It fires a callback whenever the value changes.
