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 :)

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

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!!!

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.

This review and how to is so details! Manufacturer should pay you to have your link include as part of the instructions manual.

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

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.

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.

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.

[Wedgetail]

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.

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.

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

[CRB]

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.

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.

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.

[testacorsa]

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.

[alanhowitzer]

After installation, how long till someone breaks into my car?

[kingprone]

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.

[charlesfrostsr.]

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!!!
