Car Head Up Display 5.5" OBDII HUD - Full Review & Install

[@samsen201]

3 years later and find your review the BEST ever on YT. Thanks for such a great and lasting job.

[@Bogeythebest]

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 :)

[@1255You]

Another excellent vid! Not being that expensive makes you wonder why cars don't come that way to begin with. Thanks again.

[@amanandakayak]

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!!!

Ues you 100% right

[@yoyohooyo]

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.

[@ronniepirtlejr2606]

Technology is getting better. Not quite there yet though for me. But definitely better! Thanks for all the work on the video!

[@hjf3022]

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.

[@blucobalt8688]

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.

[@btomas225]

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.

[@JosePerez-bi4ge]

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.

[@hash-CCFF00]

is it a foil? can you give me a link

[@kingprone7846]

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.

[@davewilson7602]

I used black tape over the non speed parts to achieve that look

[@leon.690sm9]

@@davewilson7602 you can turn the idividual parts of the hud on and of in every configuration

[@flyurway]

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.

[@alanhowitzer]

[@hostilityy]

[@Rick1885]

for less than 50 bucks?

[@o2Hayden]

+Alan Fox 2 things, its 50 bucks, and you can just unplug it.

[@veemacks7255]

+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).

[@Dabayare]

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.

[@angelpapi007]

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++

[@rmarkmacauley97]

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

[@dial2fast]

+R Mark Macauley Appreciate the feedback. Thanks!

[@Wedgetail96]

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.

[@CRB9000]

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.

[@dial2fast]

+J. Matthew Phipps Good to hear. Thanks for your feedback.

[@rachanblr]

Fantastic Review!! I've decided to buy one and bought it and installed after going through your Review. You're simply awesome!!!

[@dial2fast]

+rachanblr Thank you so much for your comment!

[@charlesfrostsr.4920]

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!!!

[@Shona90210]

One of the best reviews i've seen on ODB2 HUD (or most reviews on any product for that matter). Kudos to you!

[@jionyokaze]

YES! Been looking everywhere for this! Great explanations.

[@raymondteague1754]

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.

[@psu7276]

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.

[@ivelinmitev]

Distance in miles, fuel consumption in L/100 km... Chinese engineers with sense of humour LOL :)

[@jhndk7915]

@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)

[@MatheusPratta]

Maybe because the entire rest of the world uses a metric system that actually makes sense? LOL

just bought one after seeing your review. thanks for a in depth review.keep up the good work.

[@scottfirman]

I have a Quest also ( picked up used a month ago) I intend on getting one of those as I am not used to looking to the right to see the speedometer and other functions. I would have liked to see how you run your wire. I intend to drill a hole in the back of the original display and run it up through the inside of the dash. I will also be replacing the wimpy interior foot lighting with strip Leds like I have in my Subaru Outback. I will also be running strip lighting down the ceiling on eather side of the sky view glass. This van will have everything a Conversion van has when I am finished.

[@vokaduss7714]

as I see, fuel consumption doesn't work... Why?

[@dial2fast]

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.

[@rolfstiehl2125]

+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.

[@gasparcabreramartinez7303]

+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

[@rolfstiehl2125]

+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.

[@NikolaMKDVE]

+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?

[@DinoCarroll]

Great instructional video. I bought the unit and installed it with no problems. My only concern is that the unit will not turn off automatically when I turn off the ignition. It displays the "HUD" logo and battery status and seems to be in "scan" mode. Is there a way to reprogram this function so that it will turn off once the ignition is turned off? Thanks for your help!!

[@chrislukasik7393]

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

[@ToaivaTTeevale]

Did you use OBD2 or GPS.

[@lesserz6310]

Very cool, just checked my car. It's a Ford Taurus 2006 and yup I've got a OBD which I wasn't sure about. Think I'll pick one of these gadgets up. But before I buy, need to check my states laws about this first. I had a old Ford LTD station wagon before this car, that had a small 6 inch crack about 3 inches from the bottom center of my windshield (there when I got it from my brother). So I was late for work and got pulled over for speeding (70 in a 50). Cop wrote the ticket and gave me a warning about the crack. Said I needed to fix it, because it was an obstruction of view.

[@pourekk]

BH Design distractive?

[@crazy8sdrums]

Now you only need a smartphone, the Torque app, and a bluetooth/wifi OBD2 scanner (such as ELM 327). That provides a ton more data too...

[@oo0Spyder0oo]

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.

[@livingaboard]

that would be incorrect.

[@oo0Spyder0oo]

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?

[@livingaboard]

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.

[@oo0Spyder0oo]

captainkrunch Great, so one of these huds should work with any car with an obd2? Thanks for the info.

[@thebonesawismybitchforhire2798]

Out of interest what car do you have? Most analogue gauges are driven electrically v8a electronic connection these da6s with no cable attachment.

[@shawnmichael262]

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.

[@mymortalrage]

I had a 2002 Saab 93 se and it had night panel mode that turned off all the dash except speedo. Speedo was lit from 0-140km/h and I do believe the rest lit up once you hit 135km/h. If you ran low on gas it's gage lit up. Some people think why would you want that. It was cool, I rather drive in darkness inside the cabin, yet only see minimal info.

Any idea?

[@areynolds18]

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..

I live in Taiwan and have a 2005 Suzuki Solio (Wagon R) with an OBDII Installed. I plugged it in and all I get is the battery voltage and it will flash HUD, 117 and many other things. I took the car to Suzuki and they assured me the OBD is working properly. I tried it on a buddies LUXGEN and it works perfectly, so I don't know what to do.

[@dial2fast]

+Christopher Reese It does sound very strange but being 2005, I can only guess maybe your Suzuki is not sending out speed and tach info on the OBDII, but only trouble code for diagnosis. OBDII is a standard, but it depends if the manufacturer is making the specific data available on that port. I say this because my Nissan does not show gas mileage, but my Honda does.

[@WebMetlReese]

I don't know what to make of it. My gauges have an RPM and speed monitor, but it's not even sending out water pressure, temp, etc. just the battery voltage.

The OBD-II connector / port has 16 terminals. It is by SAE that it be located in 22 inches of the steering wheel. The only two (Identical badge swap) vehicles are vans, that both because of the center console has the OBD-II inside a little door on the passengers side of the console. Technically as a “Crow Flies” it falls in the 22 inches, but barely. The US and England both use standard measurement like gallons instead of liters. I would think the huge US market would allow for changing via simple programming. I guess not. Safety glass has been around since the 1930’s. The “Tucker” with moving headlights as you turn, was one of the first use it in passenger vehicles. The DOT classify vehicles into different categories so if researching, be careful. A motor vehicle usually refers to “Semi” tractors that hitch onto various trailers but is not a pickup truck from a country song. (East bound and down) different deal. Thank Jerry Reed! But holes with captured nuts are found in most pickups since 1965. Only by the production date of July, 1st 1970 was required and no longer an option a salesman could order. This was common place into the 70’s as the customer was always right! Try that today. Information travels from a PCM via class-2 serial data. High Speed serial data was used by GM on the 2004 Corvette. It was also keyless to start. Upper left on OBD-II connector is cavity #1 = UART, #2 = class-2, #4 = chassis ground, #5 = computer ground, #6 & #16 is high speed local area network. #16 = B+ Hot all the time. There are others but most are left to the manufactures can use for any reason or left empty. Interesting product, to bad about liters/kilometers and plastic on windshield as dashes are different and windshields are shaped different so in dead center, may look crooked. Good information in the video, much more shots & views of the device than I expected. Thank you, great job of presentation. It is work to get the footage, edit, over-dubbed sound. Nice job!

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!

All windshields on vehicles are safety glass(laminated plastic between 2 pieces of glass), unless you have a vehicle before the late 1950's.

This is a great tutorial. I appreciated the detail you went into. Cheers.

I like my HUD display... but decided not to have it directly in front as it was too distracting. Also that plastic stuck on the windscreen is just not good enough to see through. Ive moved my HUD to one side now and done away with the plastic on the wind screen. It is good and works well

I was looking for this, thank you man

[@jeffalv6176]

cool video. now the real question. what happens when its winter and the windiw freez all night then defrost when u start the car ?

[@MrMoises27]

YES, THIS DEVICE WILL WORK WITH ANY CAR BUILD AFTER 1996, THEY ALL HAVE OBD CONNECTOR UNDER THE DASHBOARD.

[@camryle5590]

Very nice, but I have a question: does this HUD miss focus your eyes when you are driving? Also, I've noticed that the gas consumption doesn't work at all, can you give me the reason? Thank you

[@dial2fast]

The display doesn't change your focus. The mileage doesn't work because my car doesn't support it. OBD is a standard but all car manufacturers may or may not support certain parameters.

[@camryle5590]

dial2fast Thanks for your response. l am appreciate that

[@Sergio-rn7os]

dial2fast basically this units fully work with cars that are new that have this but you have to pay for the upgrade from manufacture. still works with any car but all futures don't work right?

[@obtrunco]

It looks very nice at night but not in the day since you can see the device itself clearly, but I guess that's mostly because you had to stick that screen on your windshield. Great video though, I'm definitely going to look into it.

[@johncook3256]

I'm sold thanks for the video that's pretty darn cool
