Does an Audi Q5 Have a Head-Up Display Windshield?
Reviewed by the Skyview Auto Glass technical team — NWRD-, ASE- and DINITROL-trained technicians · Updated November 2026
Quick answer
A 2025 Audi Q5 windshield in our records, FW06700GTYN, carries a head-up display alongside a forward camera with a dynamic calibration, acoustic glass and a rain and light sensor. The Q5 projection relies on a wedge-profile interlayer that keeps the image single rather than ghosted, and standard laminate will not serve in its place.
What the 2025 Q5 glass carries
A 2025 Q5 windshield, FW06700GTYN, lists a forward camera with a dynamic calibration, which is a road drive at a specified speed on clearly marked roads. On top of that the glass carries a head-up display, acoustic glass and a rain and light sensor. The head-up display is the critical detail on this part, because the glass has to be built for it or the projection fails.
Head-up display glass uses an interlayer that is wedge-shaped, thicker at the top than the bottom, so the projected image reaches the driver’s eye as one image instead of a doubled ghost. Nothing else will serve in its place on this Q5 glass. If a head-up display Q5 gets ordinary glass, the driver has two overlapping images permanently and no calibration fixes it.
Understanding the Q5 head-up display glass
The head-up display gets re-aimed once the new Q5 glass is fitted.
The head-up display itself is not calibrated. It needs wedge-interlayer glass so the projected image is not doubled. Swap in standard laminate and the Q5 owner is left looking at two stacked images for good, with no recalibration able to clear it.
Any acoustic windshield fits a head-up display Q5.
No. The wedge-shaped interlayer is part of the specification. Glass that seals correctly but lacks it doubles the projection, and the only fix is replacing the glass again with the correct part.
Signs the wrong Q5 windshield went in
- Two overlapping projected images on the glass
- Standard laminate missing the wedge profile went in. The projection doubles, and no calibration can correct it.
- An estimate that never checked whether the Q5 has the projection feature
- The estimate was built from the badge rather than the catalog. The 2025 Q5 carries the feature, and only the VIN confirms whether yours has it.
- A faint or off-center projection once the new glass is in
- The wedge interlayer may be absent or the projection zone is in the wrong place. Both point to the wrong part number.
More questions about the audi q5 head up display windshield
Does an audi q5 have a head up display windshield?
The 2025 Q5 in our records does. Windshield FW06700GTYN carries a head-up display alongside a forward camera with a dynamic calibration, acoustic glass and a rain and light sensor. The VIN confirms whether your Q5 has it.
Can a regular windshield go in a head-up display Q5?
No. The Q5 projection depends on a wedge-profile interlayer that holds the reflection to one image. Put in standard laminate and the driver sees a permanent doubled projection that no recalibration will clear.
What does an audi windshield cost?
A windshield replacement runs $200 to $500+ out of pocket before tax, set by the part your Q5 was built with. On a Q5 with a forward camera, the recalibration travels with the glass on the same quote.
