Default Dynamic Radar Cruise Control vs. Head-up Display

The specs and packages if the new NX model has been released in Lexus Taiwan lately.
Unfortunately, the Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, what they called the ACC will not be available for all NX models in Taiwan due to the frequency setting of the radar.
However, the sales also claim that "HUD will not be available as well due to the fact that it is tied up with the Dynamic Radar Cruise Control system as a bundle" (quote).
Many of the pre-ordered buyers in Taiwan are worrying and quite upset.

I am just wondering if anyone knows that if that quote is a fact? Is the Dynamic Radar Cruise Control really tied up as a bundle with the Head up Display?
Thanks

It is possible that HUD has to be bundled with other features.

Example --- In Japan (Lexus Japan just launched the details of NX on their web site today), Head up Display (HUD) is only available in a bundle with LDA +AHB (Land Departure Warning + Automatic High Beam).

Color Heads Up Display - カラーヘッドアップディスプレイ

I have to dig so deeply on lexus.jp to find the info on HUD. No picture/illustration of HUD is shown in the "Standard Equipment" or "Optional Manufacturer's Equipment" list.

For Canadian market where our cars are also left handed drive, the preliminary info shows HUD is only available for non F-Sport NX. In the past, Lexus Canada has bundled AHB and LDA with regular IS and not F-Sport IS. So it leads me NX follows suit -- only regular NX has HUD because of the bundling of LHA and HUD.


UPDATE: Found the page where it shows the pictures of HUD.

HUD in Canada is bundled with Pre-collision and radar cruise in the Executive package for the regular 200t and 300h, and in Series 2 F-Sport package on the 200t.

For the US, no mention of HUD, yet there is a mention of the dynamic radar cruise.

I forgot F-Sport NX in Canada does have HUD. LOL. Thanks CorradoMR2.

My guesstimate -- HUD and LDA has to be bundled.

For Canadian regular NX and F-Sport NX, HUD is bundled in the packages where there is LDA.

As previously stated, Lexus Japan bundles HUD with LDA. Then it is consistent with some sold unknown reason for the bundling. Probably software integration implementaton between HUD and LDA?
