This is a Heads Up Display, designed to be mounted to your dashboard or windshield. It connects to the OBDII port on your car, and will display all sorts of information, almost like another instrument cluster. The idea is instead of looking down at your instrument cluster, you can look at this quickly without taking your eyes off the road.
There are a total of 95 different parameters that can be set, along with alarms for each. The main display is a 5-up display, and can be configured. Also, it can read and erase OBDII trouble codes from your car.

Hi Jay, is the speedometer value configurable? I have changed my tire size and, while the numbers are not too far off actual, I would like to be able to see my actual speed displayed.
Also, does this little guy have a odometer/tripometer?
Thanks!
Nope, the car is calibrated to the tire size set forth by the manufacturer. If you change your tire size, your speed will be off. A tool like this wouldn't allow you to configure such a thing, you'd need more like a "tuning" tool, way, way, more expensive.
No odometer or tripmeter, that would require non-volatile memory. Also not very useful on a device that can be portable, and moved from car to car.
Easiest way to fix the problem is to run the stock tire size.
Hello Jay.
Is it safe to leave this on 24/7, for ever pretty much? Or does it drain battery like other OBDs?
It should power down a few minutes after the car is shut off. As long as it's doing that, the current draw will be very minimal. Yes, it does constantly use power, that way it knows when to wake up, but it's very minimal power. If your battery goes dead based on that alone after just a day or two, you have a bad battery or alternator. If your battery is more than 4 years old, have it tested, most times the auto parts store can test it for free.
@@jaykay18 Thanks for the quick response. I mean in that case I could simply just plug and unplug it everytime I drive, right?
And a last question, how do you mount this thing? Does it have glue or something? I think it does, looking at it, but won't glue be destroyed during summer when sun is hot as hell? Like, melt?
@@MastroOfficial Don't ignore the problem if your car has one. Yes, you can plug and unplug it, but you;re going to wear that connector out in your car pretty quick, and where are you going to get one of those? Not to mention, there are a lot of wires to splice together to make it work.
It has 3M adhesive tape as shown in the video. Will that hold in the summer? Depends on how hot it gets. If you clean the surface very well with alcohol to begin with and let dry fully, it should stay for a long time. If it falls off for some reason, you can employ any other method you see fit to keep it attached.
@@jaykay18 Cheers man. I am still debating whether to buy it or not though...Many sites claim it's compatible with Asian cars made after 2008 (I have a Toyota Aygo 2006). Yet manufacturer claims it should work with any OBD2 vehicle. Who knows.
@@MastroOfficial You already have the answer: It works with OBDII cars. If your car is OBDII, it will work.
HUD, not really, by my definition. A true HUD is the reflected display image off the windshield glass. Still a cool item.
I fully agree!
I just bought my first car, but I am a programmer and I think I want to make my own HUD.
Design is usually bad, it should be customizable and should have a portable output, one to your phone and one to a monitor or your digital radio
I wish I had a device that outputs to my
Everything is designed to a price. Price it too high with too many features, and the majority won't buy it. Give it a lackluster feature set but a low price, and people will buy. If you can design a better one, go right ahead, but if you plan to have them manufactured and sold, with the features you want, you'll price yourself out of the market.
Congrats bro! I've been driving my second ride for almost 2 decades now and done a few electrical mods to it in the last few years.
One of the most enjoyable ones was wiring an led strip to the top of my dash and into the dimmable circuit, then aiming the damn thing at the board so it does not blast me in the eye even at low, but rather just reflects off the white parts of the instrument cluster...
The most recent one was, blowing that fuze! :D So instead of replacing it and rewiring those led strips as a temporary solution, I just used a gps speedometer on my phone which actually made me fall in love with custom digital dashboards!
( heh, I live for custom shit, but thats besides the point )
So now I've ordered one of these and being a graphic designer myself who kinda dabbles in coding ( a VERY LITTLE bit )
I totally thought about modding this thing myself too!
HIT ME UP MY MAN! For real!
is gear position one of the 95 data parameters?
No, it is not.
Hey do this shows how much gas in your tank my gauge went out
No, it does not. Chances are your fuel tank sender went bad. Tank has to be opened up and that part replaced. Otherwise, refuel every 150 miles whether you think you're empty or not. Because when you're thinking you're not empty, you probably are.
Have you used it for a wile now? Is the mirror-like reflection of you and the car interior as distracting as it seems that it would be?
No, not distracting.
Nice car heads up display
Yeah this was a pretty cool item.
How do I use the boost gauge? I t says it has a boost gauge function on the box, but it doesn't appear to have that function
First off, you car would need a turbocharger in order for it to read anything to begin with, and the computer would also have to have that information available on the OBDII port. Second, for support, don't go after the guy who reviewed it, speak to the manufacturer.
Buena noche , tengo uno , se desconecto por accidente de mi puerto odb2 mientras conducia y dejo de trabajar , funcionaba muy bien antes de que se desconecte , saben alguna forma de resetearlo o de volver a configurarlo en mi camioneta , muchas gracias por su ayuda
No debería haberlo dañado en absoluto, estos están diseñados para ser desenchufados en cualquier momento. Pero debe comunicarse con el fabricante para obtener ayuda, no con un tipo que lo revisó encima de su lavadora.
My speedometer and tachometer went out. Can I use this for now til I get it fixed?
As long as the car's computer is still receiving that data, and the problem is just with the instrument cluster itself, yes, it should work great for that.
Hi Jaykay, thank you for this video. I bought one last week for my Nissan X-trail 2006 Manual T30 model. However, it reads only the battery voltage, though it works in other different cars. I think my OBD port does not support these type of gadgets because this is the 3rd HUD I am trying and get the same result. The OBD port works perfectly with scanners of mechanics not anything else. very strange. Do you have any advice? Thanks.
Very odd. I wish I had some more information for you.
Hi my friend... Thank you for your video.. I just bought it and its seems nice... I have two questions.. First how can i restart the fuel trip ( go to 0) and in what unit does it count the fuel (litres or what)???
And second.. I put the USB port to my laptop for any update but it doesn't show "update mode" on the screen.. Do you know something about this!!!
Thank you...
Fore technical assistance, please contact the manufacturer.
hi Ioannis, did you get anywhere with the update? Mine won't recognise it's plugged in!
Will it work for a 2002 Chevy Silverado??
This just came in the mail for my 2004 Silverado, will update if it work or not later
Did not work in my 2004 Silverado or a 2012 Ford Flex. I plugged it in to the computer to update and it said there was no new updates available. I am very unimpressed and will send it back.
Is this safe to use ? Coz its just connected to the car computer box and it wont drain the battery?
It automatically shuts off 5-10 minutes after you turn the car off.
What car are you driving?
That is a 2007 Toyota Camry XLE with the 3.5L 2GR-FE V6 engine.
Cool but it seems this is not the tool if you did a conversion I have a lexus with spitronics this would have been nice to see feul usage and temperature. Nice reviews nonetheless 👍
Thank you.
Hi there, i use it since 6 month, but today my Speed Display is gone. All other Parameters are shown as before. I did nothing, can not find speed in the menue amymore. can u help me? Best regards from Germany.
I'm sure you've tried unplugging it and plugging it back in? Does the regular speedometer on the car work? If not, your vehicle speed sensor may be bad. Otherwise, I don't offer support, I just reviewed the product, I didn't make it.
Does it show oil pressure?
I have one and it works great, but I never saw a list of all things it does. Thank you
I don't believe so. All of the cars I have ever owned have only had an oil light, and not a gauge. None have ever spit out a value for the oil pressure under even a high-level scan tool, I believe the pressure sensors are simply an on-off type device, with no reading in between. As such, the computer never reads that information.
That's not to say other vehicles with actual oil pressure gauges on the instrument cluster won't output that data through the computer, but if you simply have an oil light, you won't get a listing for that.
As for me, the numbers on the display could be larger. Who needs such a large tachometer image? ;))
The left and right sides of the display are not used. Therefore, the device could be smaller.
Yes, but it's configurable, you can have your speed there in the center if you wanted.
Thanks bro for the Translation
Sure.
What is ect safe temperature? Because when i looking at you ect it is 130above what is ect warning temperature?
While it can depend on the car, ECT often stands for electronically controlled transmission.
Does anyone know if the 'total mileage' setting displays the total mileage on the car, or just the total mileage for the current session? I'm thinking about buying one of these as the odometer screen on my car is broken so need a way to monitor the car's mileage. Thanks 🙏👍
It cannot display the total mileage on the car, just for the current session. The mileage is stored actually in 2 places, in a chip in the car's computer, which an inexpensive device like this can't read, and also in a chip in the instrument cluster itself.
To read the actual mileage of the car would likely require a dealer-level scan tool, something the average person can't get their hands on.
A better fix is to call some junkyards and see if they have instrument clusters for your car and if they know the mileage listed on them. You might get one close. I had this problem on an old car of mine and bought one from a junkyard, the difference was only 2,000 miles.
How dose it turn off and on ??
When it senses no data from the car's ECU, it will shut off 5 minutes later.
hello, good afternoon, I am writing to find out... if the equipment KW206 ODBII is compatible with a twingo 8v 2005? is it functional
If your vehicle is OBDII-compliant, it will work.
@@jaykay18 If you have OBD2, but you don't have communication... what could it be? thanks, help.
@@ricardocrespomontezuma1754 Test the device on another car. If it works, your car is the problem. It's likely the ECU, can cost thousands to fix.
Did you have to configure it at all or just “plug and play”?
It's plug and play. If you want to mess with stuff after that, you can.
@@jaykay18 thanks
@@Mkazigian No problem.
Hi!!! I got a question,tell me,what does "TRIP FUEL"mean´s ?
I only do the reviews, I don't provide support. Contact the manufacturer for support.
Is this compatible on Nissan exalta Sentra N16 2002 matic 1.5?
If your vehicle is OBDII, yes. Every vehicle in the US has been since 1996, every vehicle in the EU has been since 2001.
Hi I just got this myself, any idea how to turn this off? It just stays on due to power to the old port,
It should power itself down after 5-10 minutes of the engine being shut off.
does it also displays oil temperature?or only coolant?
Check with the manufacturer about specifics.
Does it have a button to switch it off or on
No, it switches on and off automatically. It senses when the car is turned on, and will shut off a few minutes after the car is shut off.
minr doesnt read or clea codes as it should...
Sounds like you got more wrong with your car than you thought.
Does it work on 2003 cars?
It works on OBDII-compliant vehicles. That's why it says that in the title.
Can you make the mph display in the middle how the rpm is shown. Like instead of rpm can it show mph?
I stressed several times that it can be configured as you like.
How do you change it to mph?
It's within the settings.
does the center always display RPM?
I just left it at the defaults, you should be able to change it to anything you want. Personally, RPM is more important than speed, in my opinion.
when you shut down the car does it power of automatically?
Yes, after a few minutes it realizes the car is off and will power off.
Mine doesn't turn off, it gets into a boot loop. What should I do?
I bought like this one. Can someone know how to display or get your average fuel consumption using KW206?
If it did that, I would have made sure to mention that.
it has only the trip fuel which shows an average if your car has onboard that function
Where do you connect it???
The OBDII port on the car. Every vehicle is different. There's this thing called a MANUAL that nobody reads, usually in the glovebox. If you don't have the manual, there's this wonderful invention we have called the INTERNET, and you can simply search for the manual.
would this work on newer motorcycles?
As long as it's OBDII-compliant, yes.
Can this work for a Honda accord 92
No, your car does not have OBDII. OBDII is from 1996 onwards.
Can you change the temperatures in degrees Celsius?
Yes, of course.
@@jaykay18 also shows fuel consumption? And fuel level input?
@@johnvalavanis6105 No.
Does it display oil pressure ?
If the vehicle only has an idiot light that comes on when there is low oil pressure, not a chance. If the vehicle has a gauge on the dash that displays the oil pressure, there is a small possibility this might, but there are no guarantees. Take that as "never in a million years", and you won't find another tool to display data that doesn't exist!
So you have to plug it into OBII and 12 volt plug?
No, just OBDII, like I showed.
@@jaykay18 hey i have a question, can it read the boost pressure of a turbo?
@@spyrosbellos2522 If the turbo was stock, it should be able to read it.
@@jaykay18 ok Thanks, the torque app with an other obd2 Bluetooth scanner could read it i just wanted to know if this one could.
can you change it from km/h to mph?
Watch the video and find out.
Does anyone know what to do when it says communication error?
That may be an issue with your vehicle.
@@jaykay18 you would know if it’s my port that is messed up or something further?
@@tythelegend17 If you have a regular scan tool and that doesn't work either, there's a problem with the car. If it works, it's a problem with this device.
@@jaykay18 okay thanks that was my next step to just see if any scanner would connect
how did you change it from metric to standard?
It's in the setup, just go through every option, like I did, you'll find it.
Hold esc until settings
Go to system para set
Select ok
Then select unit and change to English
Can it diagnose a P04020 code?
P0420, yes, it can. P04020, what is that, like 90210?
Can it also translate a 8675309?
P0420 in a lot of vehicles is usually related to your oxygen sensor.
@@nl.515 Yes, it says "I went to school with 27 Jennifers!"
@@Andrew.B-Nerdy The oxygen sensor is not the problem. The sensor is doing its job, letting you know that the readings before and after the catalytic converter are too similar, which means the catalytic converter isn't catalyzing the hydrocarbons effectively.
Generally, if there is an oxygen sensor issue, you'll have other codes, and the vehicle won't run right. I've had that happen too, and replaced the oxygen sensor, which solved the problem. It did NOT solve the P0420 code that car also has!
How do you turn it off?
After the car is turned off, it should power itself down in a few minutes. Should be able to adjust the time in the menu,
Subs and like done,,,, hello sir,,, is this working, Toyota altis 2005a/t, ty.....
If your vehicle is OBDII-compliant, then yes.
@@jaykay18 ty,,,, now I have,,,, its work
@@magkasangga9105 OK, good.
