Hudway Drive CAR HEADS UP DISPLAY (HUD Install & Review)

Hi Everybody! Here is my follow up video for the side camera and backup radar system kzbin.info/www/bejne/mGOtiYCHrrpgaJY in case you want to see what that kit looks like.

Lmao! Facts!

[@LimitedWard]

I wish there was a HUD with open source software for tinkering. I'd love to integrate something like this with a dashcam and use computer vision to help warn for pedestrians and other hazards.

[@AlexAutoFun]

Hi LimitedWard! that would be cool! and I suspect it won't take long for someone to jail break this one to run their own software, I guess we'll see LOL..

[@janeprescott7381]

Ya an interactive hud, for my back up cam, stereo, and navigation

[@marxkartredge]

@@AlexAutoFun Actually, I dont think it'd be that hard to use a Raspberry Pi arduino running Linux to control it

[@AlexAutoFun]

@@marxkartredge Hi Bowties&10Ply's, yep I suspect it won't take long for someone to jail break this one to run their own software or build theirs from scratch now that the idea is out there!

[@SLAAMIT]

then people will start putting pictures or movies on it causing more distracted driving so thats a terrible idea

[@czamman]

Marketing is all wrong. People watching have see a few other brands. This price is crazy compared to just a hud. However this isn't a hud, it's a computer interface. Big difference, nice review 👌

[@AlexAutoFun]

Hi Ci Z33! you know actually you have a good point, this definitely on another level. I seen other simply HUDs and they much more limited, I may even review some later so we can compare, but I think you hit the nail in the head, this is very different, it's much more than a HUD! thanks for watching bud and stay tuned I got more gadgets coming!

[@AZ-bx8yi]

@@AlexAutoFun Perhaps English isn't your first language, thought I would help... Not sure that's what Ci Z33 was trying to say, in fact, Ci Z33 is saying quite the opposite of your response. 😂😃

[@AlexAutoFun]

@@AZ-bx8yi Hi A Z! yep English is not my first language bud..

[@AZ-bx8yi]

@@AlexAutoFun That is understandable, hence why I was trying to help :-). What Ci Z33 is saying is that they are doing a terrible job marketing this product, it is actually marketed incorrectly. Additionally, they have OVERPRICED this product by a long stretch, which is true - compared to all other HUD products out there. It's a replica of existing products, and they just got lucky with kickstarter raising money on a product they have quite literally cloned. If the other companies were in Europe or USA, there would be infringement issues for sure, but they're Chinese mass-producers who could care less. One more thing.. he stated this isn't a HUD but a computer interface, that is 100% CORRECT. A HUD is an analog, this is just a projection of what's on the phone. Those devices range between $49-$69 online... Anyway. Hope that clears it up a little. :-)

Hi everyone! looks like they recently released another firmware update, so we are now on 1.0.100 from my old 1.0.91 Unfortunately I clicked too fast on the update screen and didn't read all they added but one thing I saw is that the updated the light sensor to improve the auto-brightness on it. I will do the next update slower so I can write all the changes down and share lol

[@WakeupJ4X]

The guy at the dealership warned me once you get a HUD you can never go back...I now hate driving anyone else’s car because I’m not used to looking down for my speed

[@AlexAutoFun]

Yep! that was pretty much my experience also when I test drove my friends Corvette with a HUD. I didn't realize how useful is to have it. And it is a little hard to explain the benefits of it until you experience for yourself in real life. Thanks for watching bud!

[@AKHILDABRAL]

This looks so futuristic, let's hope car manufacturers polished this and start giving them in future models.

[@fullcirc9203]

Cleanest one I have seen. Hopefully someone will develop one that has the legal speed limit on the right and the speed you are going in the middle. That is what keep speed in check. Can’t always find a speed limit sign. That is the best.

[@AlexAutoFun]

Hi Fullcirc! Good idea! Actually now that I think about it, if you use Waze (using the mirror function of the HUD) you get your current speed but also and indicator when you go over the speed, I'm not sure if Google Maps or if Maps for Apple does same but I really like Waze in case you want to try it out. Hope this helps, Cheers!

[@nodave77]

I'm hoping I didn't waste my money but went a head and pre-ordered for the next batch. Says expected March 20,2023! Anyway, your code still works for a discount. Hoping that even if I cant get a hold of the infared camera another camera will be able to plug in.

[@AlexAutoFun]

Hi D C! nice! yeah hopefully you will get yours in time, I'm seeing more and more feedback (and downloads) on the Google App store. Since Hudway is a private company this is the closest indicator we have to production numbers. Also they just released another App update and a firmware update earlier this month with some noticeable improvements (likely from the use of the Feedback button on the App) Here is also a good alternative while you wait for your Hudway kzbin.info/www/bejne/gWipk5uQid2rl6M Cheers!

Thank you great info.... does the hudway give direction of travel ie north south etc and cost

[@AlexAutoFun]

You're welcome jon! ah regarding direction of travel and cost, no by default it does no unless you use the mirroring function and use it with an App like Waze or Google Maps. I imagine they could add those features without mirroring on the next APP update if enough people request them (the app has an option for requesting additional features) Hope this helps and thanks for watching!

[@BidenPOTUS]

Does this show the speed limit of the road your driving on (UK)

[@AlexAutoFun]

Hi Franck! it does not, however there are 2 ways you can make it show it, one would be to use the mirror function so you can display Waze or Maps which do have the speed limit. The other way would be to submit that feature request using the app button for submitting requests, I imagine if enough people ask for that feature they may add it in the next update. Hope this helps and thanks for watching!

[@jordanhardy3515]

This is the next step in the right direction, but I promise people should wait for the next generation or atleast a price drop on these

[@AlexAutoFun]

Hi Jordan! yeah I think that we are going to see more and more HUDs on cars standard from factory or at least as an option. I remember when the Navdy came out a few years ago, I wanted one but at $799 it was out of my budget and now we have the Hudway Drive at half that price, so I can definitely see the technology getting cheaper and better with time. Thanks for watching bud!

[@deankay4434]

Interesting as I have worked on very few at the GM dealer. I was surprised it did not fill the screen edge to edge and would be nice to see rear facing camera action. I would guess the engine/vehicle info coming from the OBD-II port is “Bluetooth” or hard wired. I will look it up and see what info they provide. Perhaps the big screen is full with the cockpit of an F-18 Raptor...Yea! Just don’t hit any RED flip cover switches. You could destroy the Kia in front of you. I wear glasses to read, but not to drive, it can see the dash clearly so it’s positions measurement from the face to screen would be info someone may like. Very good, clearly explained as your Martini is shaken, not stirred! Congrats. Automotive ASE Master Tech since 1978 - Retired

[@AlexAutoFun]

Thank you Dean! I'm waiting to receive the rear facing (and side mounted) cameras, will do another video for those soon! For the OBD port yes you are correct, it uses Bluetooth (video on that coming too) I will try not to hit any red flip cover switches in the meantime! LOL thanks for watching friend! (by the way I always wanted to get my SAE cert and never did went thru with it, congrats on achieving Master tech level!)

[@deankay4434]

The Master tech level or any certification last 5 years. Like a dummy, I took all 8 test in the spring or fall but instead of 60 questions on each test, 40 questions on the re-certification test. It last five years and I have kept all mine by going back in 5 years, sometime 6. They don’t take it away. If you are current in all 8 test, you are allowed to take “L1” advanced emissions. It is 100 questions and I missed one. I passed “P2” and “B2” for parts & body/paint. But you have to have 2 years of actual work experience with a letter from the manager. There is only 5 types of questions so Master them and learn how to read in a test book and you can take pay & take 1 or 8 test. It is draining for one night but I don’t have to take them anymore. Not bad for a farm kid who never went to trade school and high school didn’t even have shop!

[@tyrusgiles6167]

Can it be used without the glass attachment? Can it mirror straight off your window?

[@AlexAutoFun]

Hi T! Normal windshields are not ready to accept projection from a HUD (unless the car is equipped with a HUD from the factory). There are HUD films available like this one amzn.to/3DjLZHN However keep in mind that this films are transparent and reflective from drivers view but from the outside view, they appear someone opaque (kind of hard to describe, think of it as blurry silver window film tint if seen from the outside of the car) which may cause an issue with LEO. Cheers!

[@She1lby]

Looks nice but speedometer circles are pretty dumb when you have speed number already - it should be customizable tachometer instead. Customizable RPM bar + Speed number are the main things to see.

[@AlexAutoFun]

There is one view that I actually use quite a bit where are all you see is the speed (no circle) which makes it looks super clean, I don't think I showed that on this video. But I'm working on a follow up video showing more details (using the OBD dongle). Which should enable the Hudway drive to display the RPMs and other car stats (I track my cars, so I'm curious to see this thing in action next time I take out to autocross). One thing I noticed on the App, it appears to let you submit message to Hudway, so hopefully as more people get this thing we can ask for specific gages styles or my dream of being able to create and load your own gauge..

[@mpcp27]

@@AlexAutoFun .. Have you tried tinting your windscreen with a ceramic or nano ceramic tint? That cuts heat significantly.. The nano ceramic cuts heat even more than the ceramic. I put llumar air 80 (ceramic) you can't tell it's there. Since I put that up, my dashcam isn't as hot in direct sun. And I live in the tropics..

[@AlexAutoFun]

@@mpcp27 Hi mpcp27! I have applied ceramic to my car's paint but I haven't heard of ceramic tint for the windshield interesting, is it actual tint? here in California there are super restrictive on it, front windshield is a big no no, and for some reason they been enforcing that hard around my area ugh (not to mention their random checkpoints for Smog inspection and exhaust loudness) they joys of living in California LOL..

Hi Why is the display so bad when the sun is out. Also are we supposed to remove the white covering on the projector ? When i use it for navigation all i can see is turn left turn right and the white outline around it. Isnt it supposed to be like a regular navigation wher ewe can see the road etc

[@AlexAutoFun]

Hi Mac! Correct the white protective packaging over the projector (Refer to the instructions) has be to removed so the image will project cleanly. Hope this helps, Cheers!

[@souljasky999]

hi how much would you charge to install this with the cameras? just trying to et an idea of how much i should budget for install. Thanks!

[@AlexAutoFun]

Hi Soul! I currently don't offer local installation, as I'm focused on reviews. But if what I typically seen is that installer pricing can very quite a bit depending on many factors such as: if they are licensed and insured, if they mobile or brick and mortar, if they are experienced or new, the type of vehicle (specialty or luxury vehicles typically are more), if the product is customer supplied or purchased from the vendor. So I would recommend to get a couple quotes before deciding on one. Cheers!

[@cljb1074]

I wonder if it's possible to use that app through Android auto or Apple car play. So you can use the screen of the vehicle instead of the phone. 🤔🧐

[@AlexAutoFun]

Hi CB! Nope, Carplay or Android Auto use graphic interfaces that are not designed for HUD use so they are not compatible with the heads up display, but I think I would be need if later on either Google or Apple decide to make them compatible with HUD devices. Hope this helps, Cheers!

I think you should add the infrared camera and give an honest review of that. It's expensive, but it's cheaper than other independent infrared camera set ups.

[@AlexAutoFun]

Hi C.S. Allsman! Yeah I plan to review that add on, I'm really curious to see how well it performs (will be the first true night vision system I review). I'm currently working on the side camera add ons, that video will be coming out soon and the night vision camera will be next. Stay tuned and thanks for watching bud!

[@supreme_regiment3006]

Wait so for the speedometer does it use GPS data from phone ? Cuz that would definitely drain phone battery if it does

[@AlexAutoFun]

Hi Supreme_Regiment! the Hudway drive Heads Up Display will not work as a stand alone unit, it requires the App on your phone to be able to function, so yep the App will use power the same way any other App that you are running on your phone does (if your current phone drains when running an App I would recommend setting that App to sleep, turning off your screen can also help or battery may also be on it's way out, both Android and iOS are pretty good at power management but you can also enable more aggressive settings, if needed). Hope this helps and thanks for watching bud!

[@supreme_regiment3006]

@@AlexAutoFun it's just anything that requires gps to run constantly will drain the battery fast i wish it pulled data from the OBS port instead :'(

Hi is the hudway display requires continious internet for it to function?

[@AlexAutoFun]

Hi Niño Veneracion! The Hudway needs the APP to run, however it seems to also work without internet as long as the APP is still running on your phone (however remember this mean that getting directions and other features that require internet data will likely won't work, easiest way to think about it is if your phone can't do a specific function you want without internet then the Hudway won't be able either) However I'm working on a follow up video with other HUD's that do not require internet which would work great for anyone who just wants the essential information shown like speed, compass, etc.. stay tuned my friend!

[@xdejablu3x]

Looks good. Is there any reflection on the inside of the windshield and not just the HUD reflector screen? I noticed in certain cars and how the windshield is angled, the HUD may reflect on the windshield and the HID reflector giving off an awkward double image. Did this happen for you?

[@AlexAutoFun]

Hi xdejablu3x! Nope I haven't noticed any reflection from the windshield, the projection seems to be limited to the HUD screen. Maybe if the HUD is place really close to the windshield, it may pick up some reflection but where I have mine is quite far from it, I will experiment more on this with the next HUD I'm reviewing to see if moving it closer the windshield will make a double reflection. Hope this helps, Cheers!

Do you have a hint to a good OBDII adapter?

Hi Supersmuu! I assume you are asking about OBDII adapter to use with this unit to pull data from the car? if so I have not tested one yet however I heard that the HUDWAY will have their own but you that you can use your own also as long as it supports ELM 327, here is the one I plan to order and test amzn.to/3wwGksk Hope this helps and stay tuned, I got a video on the side camera addon coming up, and will also have a video on the OBDII adapter as well.

Question: how is the display in the bright sunlight? If the sun is hitting the dash (straight down or in front of you) is the display still visible?

[@AlexAutoFun]

Hi John! the brightness is pretty much close to what you see on the video, I'm able to see it well during bright sunlight but I do have to say that it really shines at evening and night, that's when you can really feel the colors and the fine details. It reminds me of a spaceship display like in the movies. I have driven straight in the direction of the sun (super bright day the ones that make you bring the sun visor down) and yes in that case the HUD is not as visible as the brightness of the sun overpowers it. Hope this helps and thanks for watching!
