Agreed the instructions could be better, I really like this one its very basic which is what I wanted. I like how its pretty much just the speed I'm going, I don't want distractions. Still struggling to figure out how to adjust the speed as the higher I go the more off it gets usually around 5 to 10 km. Pretty accurate till I go 40km or higher. Great Video thanks for making it.
Thank you I appreciate that. Thats interesting to hear how the speed reading is incorrect as your speed is increased, what year and model car do you have it installed on?
@@SHORTwithTECH A 2024 Mazda 3 Sedan, been rereading the instructions I think I might have figured out how to adjust it. Will try it out next time I go for a drive. I think I either need to either Press M and go to Speed that or hold M and go to 1 to adjust the speed.
@primezero6727 yeh, try 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 105-2=103 so simply change it to what you need. 4. Press and Hold the M Button to Save your changes and Exit Hope that helps you, if not then come back and we will try again, all the best

Thanks man. No it's not blurry in reality, it's very clear in all lights although I do agree the video does make it look blurry, sorry about that. Yes it does have an auto photosensitivity mode or you can also adjust it manually with its 10 brightness settings
This is true but it’s better then gps as that can’t change with conditions like wind or tunnels, if you know how much your speedometer is off by then it’s fine
@juelxhetani3023 the OBD2 version can drain the battery but only if the car is left unused for a few weeks so only over a long period so its definitely nothing to be concerned about
Yes and No. You can't physically turn the overspeed alarm feature off, but you have two options to get around that problem. It can be set as high as 250Km so option 1 would be to set it to a higher speed or option 2 is just turn off the buzzer, there is a feature that just turns the buzzer off altogether. Hope that answers your question 🙂

@SHORTwithTECH I noticed in a video on your channel where you were comparing the M1 and M3. The M1 or USB type has a 1 or 2 KM/H difference compared to the OBD2. Is that normal, or do I have to like set some calibrations on the device?
@blueberrymuffin2860 yes that is normal, you need to calibrate the device to match your particular speedometer in the settings of the device which you can do with the M1 and M3, but the M2 is not adjustable so for this reason i would recommend the M1 or M3 over the M2
i got exactly the same hud display, but after plugged in. it only says 0 km/h and not changing anything while driving, how can i adjust it? hope u can help
@isaacongjb9152 Hi, once plugged in do a factory reset with the device. I do not have any experience with Proton unfortunately so unsure of the protocol being used
Yes it does support auto brightness. I don't know why it says only gasoline cars on there website, I cannot guarantee it will work with your car, its best to ask the supplier first. One advantage of a GPS HUD over a OBD2 HUD is that it will work with all cars so something like this will work on diesels aswell ua-cam.com/video/AOfrtXDzQQA/v-deo.htmlsi=YkzFDQ0UFCmBr0tf

Very late but does the speed limit thing also beep when your in a 70 or 80 zone? I assume so and if so is there any way to change beep sounds or set multiple with this? Again I assume no
You are 100% correct with your assumptions. Yes the speed alarm will beep at whatever speed you set it to. And no, you cannot setup multiple speed alarms or change the sound of the beeping but like you I wish you could because multiple speed alarms would be a great feature to have
@ob1tovr yeh it's a great product. I will be uploading another HUD review in a few weeks so if your not urgent then maybe best to wait because the next HUD review is not one you will want to miss, im currently still testing it but it's a pretty amazing product

@sreysopanha7626 if it's a US model 2003, that's right on the crossover change point so possibly not. However this M1 GPS HUD will work on that car no problem ua-cam.com/video/niFv0fHEVyk/v-deo.htmlsi=_eINoA8gLD_bj2uT
@primosebas8033 You will probably need a diagnostic scan tool to get rid of the errors but if that happened just from plugging it in then it could happen again. Don't plug in the device with the ignition turned on either, if that's what you did? Depending on the year of the vehicle, you could try disconnecting the negative battery terminal aswell for 60 seconds but no guarantee that will fix the errors. If your jeep is a 2010 or later,don't try doing that
It’s happens to me a while ago.. it gives so many error, maybe because I plugin the HUD OB2 while the ignition is on. What I did it remove all attached to my car and restart my app. All errors is gone, I will try to plugin again tomorrow while the ignition is off, Hopes nothing happens. 🤞🏼
@droitzer your 100% correct. Never ever plug anything into the OBD2 Socket with the ignition turned on. When the ignition is turned on this wakes up the Canbus. You will definitely get errors doing that and some won't be easy or cheap to get rid of.
@melqui787 To change it from Celsius to Fahrenheit do this: 1. Press and Hold the M Button to enter the Settings menu 2. Now your In the settings menu choose Option 9 3.

@user-hm3vg5mc4x just like any product you connect to a cars battery, eventually it will drain the battery. Its just a warning from the manufacturer, you dont need to be concerned about it
What year and model EV is it? Is the car battery voltage displayed correct? Does the temperature reading seem to be accurate? Have you cleared the fault codes through the HUD?
It is a 2022 model MG4. I only have readings for the car inside and outside temperatures, but cannot confirm the temperature of the motor. I have not adjusted any of the HUD settings, but left them as set by the manufacturer.
@suss_ryzeyt8031 Try unplugging device and reconnecting. You can also try a factory reset under Option 12. If that doesntvwork its possible it's not compatible withn that vehicle
Sorry I'm not 100% sure. If it's a late model I'm guessing it should be ok. So far from what my viewers have told me, Nissan has been a problem, Mazda was fine and VW but no one has mentioned Toyota. The supplier will be able to confirm that for you though, contact them through this link, best of luck, please keep us all updated incase others are trying to install it on that same car a.aliexpress.com/_m0XqjQi
@@ramdhanid.4188 oh, 2011 is not an old model. I would expect that to work no problem. Is it just the speedometer feature that is not working? Do the battery and temperature features work? Does the cars original speedometer work?
@ramdhanid.4188 I don't have alot of experience with Nissan unfortunately but i would expect all Micras from 2007 onwards to work with this device. Do you know how to read live data parameters through your OBD2 port? If you can successfully read the parameters then the problem is with your HUD so open it up and check for poor soldering or bad connections is what i would do. If you cannot read parameters then it means a 2011 Micra is not compatible with this device which is surprising to hear

@morganmcguinness9923 that's interesting because mine is perfectly accurate. Are you referring to the speed accuracy? What type of car did you install it to?
Not trying to rain in your parade, I think these devices are great, but I am concerned about they being plugged and pulling the data constantly from the ECU...the "brain" of the car so to speak...this could burn the electronic unit? the obd2 port is not made for continuous data pulling after all... just wondering if it's safe to use all the time.
Your Gateway will not burn out, the OBD2 Port is just a communication port. If this concerns you there is always a GPS HUD which doesn't connect to your car at all and works just aswell but with limited functionality compared to OBD2 of course, for example, like this one ua-cam.com/video/AOfrtXDzQQA/v-deo.htmlsi=CKTHDs4_ddCbQSUR

@blueberrymuffin2860 yes that is normal, you need to calibrate the device to match your particular speedometer in the settings of the device which you can do with the M1 and M3, but the M2 is not adjustable so for this reason i would recommend the M1 or M3 over the M2
i got exactly the same hud display, but after plugged in. it only says 0 km/h and not changing anything while driving, how can i adjust it? hope u can help
@adamchecho822 What is the Year, Make and Model of the car ?
@@SHORTwithTECH hi i have the same problem which i plug in it just stays 0km/h. my car modal is 2008 proton saga blm, is it compatible?
@isaacongjb9152 Hi, once plugged in do a factory reset with the device. I do not have any experience with Proton unfortunately so unsure of the protocol being used
Hey so this version has automatic brightness?
Also why does the website say only gasoline cars?
My car is diesel so it wont work what?
Yes it does support auto brightness. I don't know why it says only gasoline cars on there website, I cannot guarantee it will work with your car, its best to ask the supplier first. One advantage of a GPS HUD over a OBD2 HUD is that it will work with all cars so something like this will work on diesels aswell ua-cam.com/video/AOfrtXDzQQA/v-deo.htmlsi=YkzFDQ0UFCmBr0tf
If a car speedometer is in only MPH by default, would this hud show Kmh?
@sepehr1257 by default yes it would so you need to change it from Kmh to Mph
1. Press and Hold the M Button to enter the Settings menu
2. Now your In the settings menu choose Option 8
3. Change Parameter value from the default value which is '0' to '1'
4. Press and Hold the M Button to Save your changes and Exit
0=Kph and 1= Mph, hope that helps you
Very late but does the speed limit thing also beep when your in a 70 or 80 zone? I assume so and if so is there any way to change beep sounds or set multiple with this? Again I assume no
You are 100% correct with your assumptions. Yes the speed alarm will beep at whatever speed you set it to. And no, you cannot setup multiple speed alarms or change the sound of the beeping but like you I wish you could because multiple speed alarms would be a great feature to have
@@SHORTwithTECH ok thanks im probably ghonna buy one i keep thinking about it
@ob1tovr yeh it's a great product. I will be uploading another HUD review in a few weeks so if your not urgent then maybe best to wait because the next HUD review is not one you will want to miss, im currently still testing it but it's a pretty amazing product
@@SHORTwithTECH ill wait then, im on my learners and i have 80 hrs atm and i wanna wait until im off my learners so i dont get to used to it then not when im doing my test
@ob1tovr it's worth the wait to be honest. What kind of car will you be installing it in?
Can it install on Toyota Camry 2003?
@sreysopanha7626 if it's a US model 2003, that's right on the crossover change point so possibly not. However this M1 GPS HUD will work on that car no problem ua-cam.com/video/niFv0fHEVyk/v-deo.htmlsi=_eINoA8gLD_bj2uT
It gave my jeep system park brake and air bag sensor error and check engine light on. As for the hud its working fine. How to fix this?
@primosebas8033 You will probably need a diagnostic scan tool to get rid of the errors but if that happened just from plugging it in then it could happen again. Don't plug in the device with the ignition turned on either, if that's what you did? Depending on the year of the vehicle, you could try disconnecting the negative battery terminal aswell for 60 seconds but no guarantee that will fix the errors. If your jeep is a 2010 or later,don't try doing that
It’s happens to me a while ago.. it gives so many error, maybe because I plugin the HUD OB2 while the ignition is on. What I did it remove all attached to my car and restart my app. All errors is gone, I will try to plugin again tomorrow while the ignition is off, Hopes nothing happens. 🤞🏼
@droitzer your 100% correct. Never ever plug anything into the OBD2 Socket with the ignition turned on. When the ignition is turned on this wakes up the Canbus. You will definitely get errors doing that and some won't be easy or cheap to get rid of.
@@SHORTwithTECH still the same.. even if I install it when car is off. It gives me error on my app. Any suggestions? My car is 2024 model

No, it turns itself on and off when you turn the ignition on and off
Mine worked on the day i installed it. Left it overnight. Next day it shows 3 stripes "loading". Then displays "0.0" for a couple of seconds and then flashes all the leds and turns off without turning on. When driving it shows "1" for a second then turns off. What is this caused by?

@wenwang9049 no, I have never had my battery drain

@user-hm3vg5mc4x just like any product you connect to a cars battery, eventually it will drain the battery. Its just a warning from the manufacturer, you dont need to be concerned about it
In installed it on an EV without adjusting anything. The speed shows fine but the water temperature icon keeps on flashing. Does anyone knows why?
What year and model EV is it? Is the car battery voltage displayed correct? Does the temperature reading seem to be accurate? Have you cleared the fault codes through the HUD?
It is a 2022 model MG4. I only have readings for the car inside and outside temperatures, but cannot confirm the temperature of the motor. I have not adjusted any of the HUD settings, but left them as set by the manufacturer.
@edwardxuereb1222 is the car battery voltage displayed correct? Have you tried to do a factory reset?
i does not have water cooling so it does not show most likely

@ramdhanid.4188 I don't have alot of experience with Nissan unfortunately but i would expect all Micras from 2007 onwards to work with this device. Do you know how to read live data parameters through your OBD2 port? If you can successfully read the parameters then the problem is with your HUD so open it up and check for poor soldering or bad connections is what i would do. If you cannot read parameters then it means a 2011 Micra is not compatible with this device which is surprising to hear

Not trying to rain in your parade, I think these devices are great, but I am concerned about they being plugged and pulling the data constantly from the ECU...the "brain" of the car so to speak...this could burn the electronic unit? the obd2 port is not made for continuous data pulling after all... just wondering if it's safe to use all the time.
Your Gateway will not burn out, the OBD2 Port is just a communication port. If this concerns you there is always a GPS HUD which doesn't connect to your car at all and works just aswell but with limited functionality compared to OBD2 of course, for example, like this one ua-cam.com/video/AOfrtXDzQQA/v-deo.htmlsi=CKTHDs4_ddCbQSUR
