What sunglasses work with a head-up display?

I can't find any, apart from BMW Vi/ON/ sunglasses that don't block the head up display or HUD. I'm not convinced the BMW sunglasses work as described. Do you have any suggestions?

We have not tested the BMW sunglasses so we cannot offer any guidance on their effectiveness, but the issue with sunglasses blocking HUDs is only apparent if the glasses have polarizing lenses. Choosing a pair without polarizing lenses should solve the issue.
