3 years later and find your review the BEST ever on YT.
Thanks for such a great and lasting job.
I will give you an advice . After you stick the reflector to the windscreen it will be more easy to position the unit below the reflector if you power it on , so you can see if the image fits correctly on the reflector :)
One of the best reviews i've seen on ODB2 HUD (or most reviews on any product for that matter). Kudos to you!
Thanks for this video! I installed mine in about 15 minutes. I didn't use the reflective sheet as I can see it fairly clearly without. Hard to read the menu number upside down. I am still tweaking the various modes, but overall, a nice little well made unit with vital information displayed. My car has neither an RPM gauge, a water temperature gauge or a voltage meter on the dash. In the garage, the display is bright, but not overly so. Thanks again for providing this video. Much appreciated!!!
Technology is getting better. Not quite there yet though for me. But definitely better!
Thanks for all the work on the video!
just bought one after seeing your review. thanks for a in depth review.keep up the good work.
This review and how to is so details! Manufacturer should pay you to have your link include as part of the instructions manual.
+Bruce W. Thank you for the compliment!
It wasn't a compliment. You effectively turned How to make a cup of coffee, into a 3 year degree program. Yawwwwn
IanRM I rather a video like this when it comes to a review than those that open it and just drive and say “there you go” they don’t tell you how to adjust it and stuff like that
Nice video, very informative. I would also add that the device in this video, is clearly set with the left hand drive market in mind. This is evident from the input being placed only on the left. If installed in a right hand drive vehicle the lead will exit to the centre of the dash rather than towards the ‘A’ pillar.
Another excellent vid! Not being that expensive makes you wonder why cars don't come that way to begin with. Thanks again.
I love that the picture on the box is a lada :D I had one as a kid for field racing, and I always loved that interior.
Lada 1500, yes. Amazingly, the Lada's interior managed to look more italian than the Fiat 125 it was copied from.
I've been running mine for two years now awesome product
I like this review. It's clear, concise and comprehensive. Nice work.
Hi there, I'm a student from the University of Toronto and am thinking of making a HUD product with my friends. We are looking for feedback for our idea. Would you like to share your thoughts with us by doing a 10-min survey? Thanks!
You did an excellent job showing and explaining the whole process. Please continue doing the good job you are doing. I will continue watching your videos in the future, I did purchase the HUd unit and installed from your video.
That was a very well done video. Thank you very much for posting such an informative and helpful tutorial. I ordered this unit last night and am so thankful to have this video for reference. Great job!!!

You're really good at this tutorials, please keep doing this stuff is very life saving. Thank you
Bought 3 ...3 years ago and going great ! does everything that i want / but you need 2 set them up ...
You can get a great picture on the windshield by making a "rectangle" with some very very light tiny or mirrored tint that is very transparent, if you cant find the light mirrored you can find it in the rolls that go lighter as they go to the top of the side window. You can barely see it on the windshield but it makes the image so clear and bright even in the daytime which is the best benefit of it.
is it a foil? can you give me a link
Fantastic Review!! I've decided to buy one and bought it and installed after going through your Review. You're simply awesome!!!
+rachanblr Thank you so much for your comment!
I bought one very similar to this , works great, best money I ever spent on an extra for the car.
Doubt it's the unit I'd want but you did a nice job on the review. You speak clearly, no music, no b/s, nice job.
Excellent Video - Thanks so much for making it.
For all those that don't have anything nice to say, and always seem to have to use words your mother would have washed you mouth out with soap - why do you bother to waste everyone's time. As we say in the South - Bless your heart.
Very good video. My only criticism is that it appears you installed the windshield film oriented horizontally but my film came with labels that clearly says to apply it vertically. In fact, if I had applied it as you did I would not be able to get the full display to reflect onto the film and I think that it shows in your video as it appears the bottom of your display is not projected on the film but rather on your windshield glass....If you look carefully at the reflected display it fits the width of the film only when the film is applied vertically. This allows drivers of different heights to see the reflected display from different points of view.
Thanks for explaining the different screens for the settings. I just received mine from Amazon. I will install it maybe this weekend..... Great video!!!
Thank you so much for putting so much time and effort to help us out.
Very good video...thanks very much.
I would imagine this being a great asset instead of glancing down at the speedo when you go past a speed camera.
The only downside I guess would be calibrating it for every car, but a dedicated on is 10 times the price so worth a go.

I will wait for next version of this ... It will be much better

Very nicely explained, man! Thanks!
First, congrats for be able to read that indecipherable users manual. Your instructions were very useful in helping me set up the device. I disabled most of the display that I didn't need, such as the water temp, fuel consumption, etc. I use only the tach and speedometer. I also set up the tach over rev warning. I've been able to dial in the speedometer, dropping it by 2 points to get it close enough for what I needed it to display.
+J. Matthew Phipps Good to hear. Thanks for your feedback.
excellent review you explain this verry well keep the good work up
+Stanley Grant Thank you for your comment!
thanx. i saw tis video and not buying this piece of sht.
Same
+Krisztián Mohácsi hehe
Ues you 100% right
I like the engine over temperature alarm although I don't know what the set-point is (wish I did) and don't like that I cant change the set-point. I like knowing what my engine temperature is and my speed. The engine RPM over-speed alarm, and MPH display are good features IMO. I don't give a shit what my instantaneous fuel consumption is, and I think the fuel consumption calculation slows down the MPH and other data updates. I would like to turn the fuel consumption calculation off but cant so I covered it with black electrical tape. Also I covered the meaningless shit on the bottom right with electrical tape.
AZAZELLO dayt orday a
This is a great tutorial. I appreciated the detail you went into. Cheers.
Mine just came in the mail yesterday, can't wait to instal it.
the key is to get a hud which just shows speed and not much else. that way you have minimal disturbance of the screen. i had one of these 10 years ago with some reflective film and it was very useable/good.
I used black tape over the non speed parts to achieve that look
@@davewilson7602 you can turn the idividual parts of the hud on and of in every configuration
Distance in miles, fuel consumption in L/100 km... Chinese engineers with sense of humour LOL :)
@eviscerate dunda and Europe... and maybe some parts of Africa as well. But we all use km's, not miles.
The UK and US use miles, so it would make sense to have an option for imperial MPG (UK) or random bullshit MPG (US)
Maybe because the entire rest of the world uses a metric system that actually makes sense? LOL
Canada is somewhat closer and uses Kms!
@eviscerate dunda CANADA AS WELL
Latinoamerica use km and Celsius too
I watched your demonstration on how to install the unit and to make adjustments. It made such good sense, I bought one. My car is MPH so I did have to make changes and your directions actually helped make their directions make sense. Thank you very much! I did forget to take off the clear cover on the unit. it makes a difference... Thank you again!!!
I would like to thank you for your video , it's very clear. I have a different make but it work in a similar menu.
Great instuction. BTW you future on the Scotty Kilmer channel bro @dial2fast
I HAVE A 2010 CAMARO. The hud costs $1200 to retro fit...and many of my friends did the upgrade. Its just a monotone blue color with dot matrix format. For 50 I can just smirk and say I'm glad I waited. Thanks for the vid... A++
+angelpapi007 Thanks for your comment!
less even i ordered mine for 25 usd
+Michel Linschoten where did you get yours?
Check aliexpress.com takes a while to arrive but worth half the price difference :)
+Michel Linschoten thank you!! I always see that site but just wasn't sure if it's trusted lol
I bought the 3.5" model a few years back still working and get a lot of comments. From passengers. Easy install . All sensor on motor and drive train must work or you will not get signal on some readings. Temp.,volt,r.p.m.,m.p.h. works great.
Which model did you buy ?
Great detailed instructions with no waffle much appreciated from Down Under in Australia
You'll cop a ticket if you get caught using one of those things in Australia.
Scotty Kilmer sent me here ☺
Haha, same here
+AstroGames here too, haha
third 👍
+AstroGames yep, and I'm glad he did. This makes setting up so much easier.
+AstroGames Rev up your engines!
After installation, how long till someone breaks into my car?
+Alan Fox depends on location, you can check on their website by entering your zip code.
+adrianTNT LMAO what????
for less than 50 bucks?
+Alan Fox 2 things, its 50 bucks, and you can just unplug it.
+Rick1885 Thieves don't know it's only 50 bucks. It looks fancy, and for all they know, it might be a $1000 smartphone (which incidentally, can also do this by downloading an app).
Well Done! Your presentation was illuminating, concise, and thorough. Your voice is clear and diction is perfect. Some video presenters seem to mumble, or speak too fast.
You’re a freaking life saver. I was about to toss this unit in the trash! Thanks for your detailed info bc my instruction manual was not as straightforward as yours.
all min is saying is hub on it has the volt for the battery at 13.7 and the RPM just keeps going up and down
Thank you - this Video was perfekt und very helpful. Great.
I got one, and was pleasantly surprised that the OB2 reports the correct speed of the car to the HUD, instead of the fake over-read that your speedometer gets.
Same. Of the 3 cars we have, 2 of them have inaccurate speedometers but when plugged into an obd2 scanner both cars report the correct speed.
YES! Been looking everywhere for this! Great explanations.
let me just plug that into my 1983 pickup
LOL!!
your 1983 pickup truck does not have OBD II. The earliest vehicles with OBD II I have heard of were in the early 90's and required on model year 96 and newer.
no shit thats why i said what i said
What about my '74 New Yorker lol
60's Chrysler Here
Need some help. I have this exact one. I plugged it up and it'll cut on but it won't get past the main screen that shows HUD battery voltage and battery light..I've tried different things..unplugging and plugging it back to make sure it's firm..cutting it on/off before/after starting car but it won't get past that screen it'll show like 13.0 volts and go around that range and just cut off after a few seconds and cut back on like 10 minutes later then back off after a few seconds. Any idea?
i just got this myself and have the same issue. only shows main screen hud and volt. every few minuts it flashes on and back on but never ahuts off and never changes from the issue to working order. i am finding allot of ppl with this issue but no resolutions. one person said it had this issue with on car but not 2 of his others. mine is on a 03 avalanche dont see why it wont work as the speed cluster in the first place works electronically off the obd2 system..
+Anthony Reynolds 05 impala same issue... this is one expensive volt meter. Wonder if its a GM thing?
No sent back. Oredered another waitinh to try second time.
+Jeff Wallace i may need a riminder in about 3 weeks
im still waiting on shipment i will give it ine more go and try on same cars plus add a ford to it. as it does seem much better than phone option if it works.
I think you did a fantastic job with this video. I appreciate how informative this is and you are so eloquent too. Thank you.
Thank you very much for your comment!
Very good, it was exactly what I was looking for, congratulations on the quality of the recording!
Thanks for your comment!
When I turn mine, it just says hud and has some lights flashing
Any idea how to fix
If the lights flashing are behind you slow down
they should make something like this for motorcycles too
poisonforlunch there are helmets with a HUD in the visor
augmented reality visor would be sick af
A few years ago there was a helmet display long before Ironman had his
Excellent installation video, After watching this i went and got one for my Audi, when i installed it I thought it would block my vision or take my concentration off the road to the HUD instead of the road but infact it's absolutely brilliant, I now never look at the cars speedo... well worth the money.. Thanks for the upload dial2fast ;-) also they should pay you for your free infomation :-)
+brook baker Thank you for the wonderful comment!
Merci from France it's very clear i understand all ! thanks..
I'm guessing if you don't have an electronic speed display in your dash to begin with you can't get this data? My speedo is the old analogue gauge, I don't think the obdII would be getting any speed info.
that would be incorrect.
captainkrunch How would that be? My gauge is driven by a cable from the gearbox so how would this data get to the obdii system?
if you have an obd2 car then you are going to have a speed sensor of some sort so the computer knows what is going on with your car. That doesn't really have anything to do with your cable driven speedometer.
captainkrunch Great, so one of these huds should work with any car with an obd2? Thanks for the info.
Out of interest what car do you have? Most analogue gauges are driven electrically v8a electronic connection these da6s with no cable attachment.
if you want to save time.i prefer see this in 1.5 speed
Hey man,
Edson from Brazil.
nice video tutorial explaining about this great device, I'm planning to buy it to install in my car.
You helped me a lot, thanks for you time.
Thanks for the review! I'm definitely considering buying this thing. :)
I had one of these HUD units in my old car. They are crap. You can’t get a accurate speed. You play with the setting and it’s only accurate at the speed you’re setting it too. It will be out 2-5km off what you’re actually going.
Glad my new car has a proper HUD
Did you use OBD2 or GPS.
Awesome video, thanks, do you drink ? If so , i would like to have a beer with you one day while we install gadgets on our cars, thanks
I live in new york city
renzovc LOL....that sounds like a good way to spend the weekend. Cheers!
+dial2fast lol
Amazing review.. thank you, sir!
Thank you for your help! I was able to install mine in my 2018 Nissan Altima SR midnight and works great!
Hi there, I'm a student from the University of Toronto and am thinking of making a HUD product with my friends. We are looking for feedback for our idea. Would you like to share your thoughts with us by doing a 10-min survey? Thanks!
Does anyone know how to turn the sound off on this unit? Driving me crazy!

Yes, menu items 3, 4, 5, and 6 control the alarms on the unit. You'll need to consult your manual to determine which values would turn the alarm off.
as I see, fuel consumption doesn't work... Why?
Voka Duss It's most likely to do with my car's OBDII which my van is a bit old (2004). It can only display what it gets from the OBDII.
+Voka Duss Try other settings for 13 - Reference fuel consumption and 14 - Air displacement setting. I'he had same problem but after changing above settings to 13=30 and 14=1 it works. Please remember these settings are specific for my vehicle, for other vehicles you might use other settings.
+Rolf Stiehl hello excuse someone can help me set fuel the truth I have not the slightest idea how to do, I have a Toyota Yaris 2003 engine capacity 1.3 if they can give me further instructions that menu set and values place would be very grateful
+Gaspar Cabrera Martinez I have set menu 13 to a very low value and menu 14 to 1. After that I could fine adjust reference fuel consumption. I guess problem is the unit of that value, probably not l/km but l/mile or something else.
+Rolf Stiehl about fuel consumption sent from obd2 port, what actually average is: average from the start of the computer history or I can set somehow for some short trip?
You’ve done a fantastic job of reviewing some thing that I was very curious about. My curiosity is now satisfied, and I will not be purchasing a heads up display device. You have done a valuable service. Thank you so much for your investment financially and timewise. You do a great job. I am a new subscriber.
I'm sold thanks for the video that's pretty darn cool
That refresh/update rate is slow!
yep it is
its supposed to let driver check info without looking away, i dunno y this one looks so high up on glass
Why?
If you connect PC to your car you'll get same update rate.
BH Design distractive?
I sell Chevy's and Cadillac and our cars have heads up display. Even those get washed out due to bright sunlight.
lightly tint the windshield only on the display area :)
One Man On Fire
This has a very good purpose for driving instructors to help monitor their students speed. Average has no need like most of the posters here. Everything in this world is good if applied correctly. And thieves take everything of value, don't live ur life afraid of them or u will become ill or one of them.
I was extremely excited about using his product. Be advised the weather could possibly damage the unit. It got a bit cold where I live in Tx and the unit crapped out on me. The settings changed on their own and also he unit would stay on after the vehicle was turned off draining battery from the car. It was fun for while it lasted. Not worth the money.
5:08 display update seems laggy ?!
probably it gets overheated lok
+adrianTNT Vehicle sensors only update so often, its not instant. That's what you are seeing.
+adrianTNT Safe to say, don't drive to Detroit.
this should be 10$ gadget. i thought it was completly hidden when the car is off
How would it be hidden, it is an add on
@@richlaue as in a projector
For the functionality, size, and information it provides 10 dollars is a slap in it's face. I paid 30 which is about where it should be. As far as hidden, it's black and sits low on your dash. Not very noticeable when you have it tucked in the corner.
You did a great job with the video.
Great video, thanks. I have ordered one and am looking forward to setting it up.

Rev up your engines !
LOL....yes Scotty
LOL
Aiwa..LOL..Its Scotty..
The sooner they replace Fahrenheit with the much superior Celsius.....the better.
Well said, switch to metric plsss
Because of you I just brought one off Amazon that night time drive part that you did send just sold it for me
Nice and very informative. Thank you!
I think it distracts driver for real
C'mon really? Having this thing is like duct-taping a home AC unit to the window of your car and pretending your car has genuine air-conditioning.
Great video, thanks for sharing, I just got mine, it is awesome
I just put a A8 5.5 inch OBD II Car HUD Head Up Display Windscreen Projector on my 2015 F150 XLT. It works perfectly ! The only thing I would add is.. when you apply the reflective screen,spray the windshield ,peel the back side off and very gently press it on the wet window,then peel the front protector off. SIT IN THE DRIERS SEAT. Use your finger nails to slide it in the right position ..then use the squeeze and paper towel to get the water out ... Great Video ThankX
+R Mark Macauley Appreciate the feedback. Thanks!
It's not fluid, it looks rubbish and if you happen to forget it in the car people will break in your car to steal it.
Why would someone break into a car to steal a heads up display, exactly?
( I know this comment is old, sorry about that )
Dude, people will break into a car just to get a few pennies ( if you have some in sight )...
u r living in fkd uo country then
I have my windows tinted + windshield cover, car is dark as hell inside; can't see anything inside which saves me the trouble (:
Someone is going to break into a car for a cheap HUD? I have had a similar one in my car for over a year now and no problems.
I'm getting one. Thank you for the video.
I appreciate this thank you.
Very useful info. Bought one on ebay for £8. Couldn't understand the instructions. I will be using it in my job as an driving instructor as its impossible to see the speedo without leaning into the customer.
Thanks again.
Thanks for such a wonderful and detailed review.. Is it a obstruction while driving and what is the best place install it ? In the center or directly in front of driver ?
Very Informative and helpful video!!
Great video thanks bud!!!!
Great review. Answered questions on features that I was curious about and has definitely helped to make the decision on buying. Well Done!
Very informative. Thank you!
thank you for sharing!
Very professional and helpful presentation, thank you
great video, thanks for posting.
Great, thank u for this video. It answered all of my questions.Keep up the good work ..
+spacepeet capone Thanks for your comment!
Older video but still accurate in the process. These devices are still being sold, and I installed one today. The instruction manual is not very user-friendly, but this video simplified everything.
Pretty good composition of the review and good install directions.
That looks so cool at night!
