M1 Head Up Display HUD GPS Review. It's Cheap and it's Good!

[@DJSickey]

Thank you bro for pointing me to this video, i asked about obd1 converted to obd2 car, using m3 heads up, and you showed me this option that can potentially work. You definitelly earned like and sub. Thank you again.

[@SHORTwithTECH]

@DJSickey thanks and your welcome. The M3 is also available in a GPS version, but the M1 is also a very good device so either will ba a good choice for you

[@DJSickey]

@@SHORTwithTECH One more question, can gauges work with that old car? Mine is 94' mazda 323f BA (Lantis), with obd1... I saw many car a-pillar gauges, but I dont even know how do they work. Im mainly interested in rpm and speed gouge, but time and temperature is also good to have.

[@SHORTwithTECH]

@DJSickey OBD2 controlled guages won't work with that car no, but aftermarket standalone guages can be hard wired to work on that car very easily. If you want time (a clock) some GPS HUDs have this feature built into them aswell for example, heres just one of them kzbin.info/www/bejne/Znm8l5d5pdpjpKssi=tZqsdA33kznm1NkV

Thanks for reviewing these cheap devices It looks a good one! Does it work with Polarised Sunglasses though?

[@SHORTwithTECH]

@rcast3763 yeh the M1 is a great device, I'm sure it will work fine with your Sunnies

[@andrewbassett8210]

I have only just purchased one of these and also found your review ( great review by the way) my question is how do you calibrate the speed? Regards Andrew

[@SHORTwithTECH]

@andrewbassett8210 Thank you. To calibrate the speed do this: 1. Press and Hold the M Button to enter the Settings menu 2. You need the first setting, which is Option 1, so you should see parameter 107 displayed now (in Kmh mode) 3. Now adjust the speed accuracy. e.g if Speedo displays 100Kmh but HUD displays 105Kmh then by default the algorithm should be 107-5=102 so simply change it to 102 or the required value that you need. 4. Press and Hold the M Button to Save your changes and Exit Hope that helps you

[@andrewbassett8210]

@@SHORTwithTECH cheers for getting back to me so quickly, I actually want the HUD to show the correct (real) speed. At the moment my vehicle and HUD are about identical. My vehicle speedometer is out by 6 kph. What setting is 100% correct GPS speed? Regards Andrew

[@SHORTwithTECH]

@@andrewbassett8210 I don't know what year/make/model your car is but all you can do is calibrate the HUD to be 6Kph lower or higher then your incorrect Speedometer. You may need to calibrate and drive the car until you get it correct. I can't advise you of a value to experiment with as I don't know if your trying to raise or lower the speed of the HUD

[@nathannguyen4398]

Thanks for the review mate. Do you think it will melt in summer in Australia? The dash will definitely get extremely hot during summer.

[@SHORTwithTECH]

@nathannguyen4398 Your welcome. Nah you will be alright, it's a pretty tough design. If it over heats it may stop working until it cools down again but I have never had that problem before either

[@geraltofrivia7448]

Hmm. So you're saying it's gonna work without that reflective screen? Also do you think it works if I connect it to a power bank?

[@SHORTwithTECH]

@geraltofrivia7448 there is no reflective screen being used to demonstrate the device. A powerbank would work if that's how you want to power it up

[@geraltofrivia7448]

@@SHORTwithTECH thanks. I don't have an usb port and the adapter is more expensive than the hud display itself 💀

[@SHORTwithTECH]

@geraltofrivia7448 just a cheap adaptor is all you need, there just a few dollars. Something like this will work a.aliexpress.com/_msR1DLQ Hope that helps

[@Kurtdereli81]

What is the HUD K1 model?

[@SHORTwithTECH]

@Kurtdereli81 the K1 is similar to the M1 but it's just a barebones basic model without any other features, its more like the M2 kzbin.info/www/bejne/j3Pcf6Zpe8uVq68si=efujaI7UXakZnhmB

[@meatpie78]

Hey mate, can you show us how to turn up the speed alarm to 50? I have disabled the sound. Also the speed read is a bit delayed on the hud. It usually shows about 5kph below the real time speed and takes like a good 2 or 3 seconds to catch up. Works perfectly if you are maintaining speed tho. Can you show me how to make it in sync with the real time speed? Thanks! Usually it reads 5kph below the real time speed and takes some time to catch up.

[@SHORTwithTECH]

@meatpie78 I am unable to show you as I cannot edit the video, but i can try and explain it, see below. If HUD is slow to respond, try repositioning it to a better location for the satellite to find it easier. HOW DO YOU CALIBRATE THE SPEED ? 1. Press and Hold the M Button to enter the Settings menu 2. You need the first setting, which is Option 1, so you should see parameter 107 displayed now (in Kmh mode) 3. Now adjust the speed accuracy. e.g if Speedo displays 100Kmh but HUD displays 105Kmh then by default the algorithm should be 107-5=102 so simply change it to 102 or the required value that you need. 4. Press and Hold the M Button to Save your changes and Exit HOW DO YOU CHANGE THE SPEED ALARM LIMIT? 1. Press and Hold the M Button to enter the Settings menu 2. You need the second setting, which is Option 2, so you should see the speed parameter 150 displayed now (in Kmh mode) 3. Now adjust the speed as required using the selection keys until required speed limit is displayed 4. Press and Hold the M Button to Save your changes and Exit Hopefully that helps you out, if it doesn't please reply with your cars Year/Make/Model

[@anthonythompson1775]

Out of the M1 white,the M1 green and the Vjoycar green which do you like the most and why?

[@SHORTwithTECH]

@anthonythompson1775 The M1 Green because the green is more eye candy, especially at night, the M1 also has an awesome speed alarm and having the speed projected onto my windscreen in front of me is so much better. The Vjoycar Green is good but the M1 Green is the better product and i love it, the white is also good. The white is a little more visible in really really bright lights though from my experience, just a little bit though

[@meatpie78]

Is the speed alarm already set to 50 kph? And how do you disable the fatigue alarm or make it silent? Thanks!

[@SHORTwithTECH]

@meatpie78 no it's not by default, you need to set it to 50Kph in the settings yourself. You can turn the alarm buzzer off if you want to

[@anthonythompson1775]

And another question does the M1 work fine without the reflective sticker?

[@SHORTwithTECH]

@anthonythompson1775 in really bright lights the reflective screen has its advantages but I have never used it, the display is crystal clear at all times so Ive never used those reflective screens, i dont like them at all. You will be really happy with the M1, I can highly recommend that product

[@Joelly_88]

What’s the actual brand ?

[@SHORTwithTECH]

@Joelly_88 All of the product information is in the link in the description a.aliexpress.com/_mPgGXD6 have a great day

[@archiepeet2955]

Where did you purchase this from

[@anthonythompson1775]

How bad is that double image con the screen?

[@SHORTwithTECH]

@anthonythompson1775 it's not double image, it's very clear. I'm just using an old phone so it looks double and blurry on camera

[@anthonythompson1775]

I found that your camera was correct in that the screen projection with mine gives a double image exactly like your video shows.Looks like you need the reflective film to avoid this.

[@SHORTwithTECH]

@anthonythompson1775 Interesting, a double blurry image has not been a problem for me, its definitely my camera, it's old and awful for doing a HUD review because it makes the display look blurry. You will definitely get a clearer display image using the reflective screen for sure but in my opinion its still not needed. Been using the M1 everyday for about a month now and the display is very clear for me and I'm definitely not using any reflective screen, I hate those things

[@santah0h0h09]

Mine doesn’t have any of the buttons and will only display two lines. Never works

[@SHORTwithTECH]

@santah0h0h09 sorry to hear that. I have not seen an M1 before without any buttons, must be a different version
