well.... my hud is a projector in my dash so i dont see how there could be aftermarket but hopefully there is one for you!!! btw i can only see mine when its low amb light- pretty cool that i made it show my tach.
from what I have looked at on mine- no other tach avalible only that stupid eco/power gauge

Here's an example of one: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004226535420.html
It replaces the dash speaker grill and projects on the corner of the windshield. Pretty clean and easy install.

The product listing doesn’t show what the HUD display looks like, and there are a bunch of listings there that all have the same pics. Do you have another link?
I would hope that a Sienna specific product would show EV mode as well as where you are on the power meter, but I doubt we’re there yet.

These are pretty generic, nothing hybrid or Sienna specific. Here’s one for the RAV4, but the one for the Sienna will be pretty similar:

Whats your overall opinion of using the obdII port 24/7 for an accessory like this? I mean, Im about to jump on this mod, it really looks cool and if it works as I would imagine then it will be real functional, but my overall concern is to have something plugged in the obd port. I dont think they were designed to do this type of things, although I have seen several wire harnesses that use the obdII port for dashcams.

Not an issue. I’ve used HUD like these, or ELM327 Bluetooth adapters for years on various cars without problems. When you think about it, the ODB port is just a link to the vehicle CANBUS that you can access. There’s a lot of other built in vehicle components that are permanently attached to the bus all the time.
To add to it, insurance companies give you discounts if you plugin their OBD2 monitors. If insurance companies are on board, I think it says enough.
About HUDs themselves, I highly recommend it. IMHO, It significantly reduces eye strain. This is my first experience with HUD, and I am going to insist on it on all my future vehicles. A well designed aftermarket plug-and-play would be worth trying too. It won't show all info that stock one does, but just the speed itself is more than enough to justify spending 40-50 bucks.
