I don't have a heated screen... ??♂️
Well my friend, VOLVO loves to change part numbers and the variants for the very same parts.
I personally checked and compared my windshield (W/O heads-up & W/O heated) s60 T5 momentum to the with heads-up and w/o heated) 2019 s60 t5 inscription, the numbers on the on windshield matched.
Same nonsense with hydraulic unit for ACC/PA. Volvo officially replaces it for with TOP dumping (which I did before knowing Orbit existed) but many folks here enabled the ACC/PA without replacing the unit and it just works fine.
What numbers matched? The glass might be the same but the interior might be coated for the HUD.
I doubt there is no difference between the two hydraulic units. "Works just fine" is a pretty general statement. There are probably scenarios where not having top dampening may create issues. To each there own.
Judging by those pictures HUD retrofit looks straight forward.....
I have HUD on my XC90 but would never go through that to add it. I only use it on and off on long road trips to adjust my viewing position.
As I said, the numbers on the windshield itself (without and with HUD ) both non-heated. If the windshield is not heated, there is no coating for HUD. If the windshield is heated only then yes there is a difference with HUD or without HUD. Because the material that heats the glass disturbs the reflection of the HUD. VOLVO uses this as an excuse to charge more money for the very same Glass just because the Car has HUD without heated windshield. Furthermore, my friend just replaced his windshield not even from VOLVO and not OEM. Just a generic replacement glass. His HUD is just working and seen fine with same limitation of Polarized Sun Glasses no matter which HUD and which make! Thanks for the pictures. I know it's hard one. (dismantling the whole Dash) and does not worth just for the HUD. But if one day my HVAC goes out, I might put in one at the same time.
