The video brought up a good point I didn't think about: If you have HUD and you're using Apple Maps via CarPlay, you won't see any instructions on the HUD. It makes perfect sense, but I hadn't thought about it before - it's a huge benefit I love about my HUD.

That capability will be possible in a future software update:

Apple revealed during the annual Apple's Worldwide Developer Conference that iOS 10 finally lets CarPlay communicate with a vehicle's internal communications bus. This means iOS will soon let Apple Maps display turn-by-turn directions on your car's LCD gauge cluster and head-up display (HUD).
