Can I buy an aftermarket head-up display for my car?

I am considering buying a HUD for my new Skoda Karoq. In my ideal driving position, sitting high relative to the dashboard, I have to glance down quite a lot for the speedo. Have you any experience of these devices please, and can you recommend any particular make. I asked at my local Halfords but the assistant had never heard the term "head up display"...

We have tested one of these made by Navdy. You can find that review here: kit.honestjohn.co.uk/reviews/review-navdy-head-up-.../

It’s quite expensive though at £350. Garmin did an HUD unit which was cheaper but it looks to have been discontinued now unfortunately.
