@dial2fast the reading that you get at a stop isn't the miles per hour it's the miles driven that particular driving session. On my unit it seems to switch back and forth when I'm stopped and then switch to mph when I get going again. I also do notice it is rather sluggish retrieving data from the onboard computer as the rev counter skips and there are large gaps in the mph counter during hard acceleration.
Nice, clean review. Do you know if they make a similar plastic screen with suction cups for the 3" unit instead of sticking the thinner one permanently to the windshield?
Thanks for your review, I'm very interested in purchasing this HUD but it all out of stock now. another thing is I don't see there is a reflective plastic piece with suction cups in the Package contents that you show us in the review. And I saw people write below "there are large gaps in the mph counter during hard acceleration" is that true?
+MrRangerZr1 I agree. Before noticing this issue, I was going to announce this is my favorite HUD because of the brightness and clarity and simplicity. It's small annoyance, but I will let the viewers decide.
+MrRangerZr1 The only tweak is the accuracy of the speed reading. If I change that from the default of 100% then the speed reading will be off. Also every time you drive, the stopped reading can sometimes be 0.6 or 3.3 or 2.8, it's not always the same number, so any calibration will not fix it.
i think the "software issue" you had it not reading out 0 mph is because it switches to miles driven from your current mph i think you didn't notice the mph switching to m when you stopped
Surely the whole purpose of such a device should be to provide ACCURATE diagnostic data that is in sync with 'actual' car performance. I am guessing though that for some it's just a colourful light giving the impression their car is 'sporty' or better than it actually is. If that's the case, then that's 'tacky' and sad.
Where can I find the plastic reflector by itself? I bought a similar car head-up display but it only includes the sticker kind of reflector, I'd like it to be adjustable/removeable.
is it possible that the device stop my car from changing gear? it shows me speed alert of 255 km when i start the engine, and the car stucks on first gear until i unplugs the hud from obd2, please help.
It has an OBD port, but the cable has the standard OBDII 16 pin connector, but if you get the OBD to OBDII converter this will be able to communicate with your older car's ECU.
I think this is the distance, that you have travelled since last stop.This HUD is nice.I have this one .
Ya if u look at the right side it goes from mph to m
The sleep function reminds you to go to rest/sleep after you drive a certain distance that you preset
+bahhaziz Cool, thanks!
I'll try it on my 2015 Honda Accord Sport. I purchase it on eBay, 2 days ago. Hopefully it will work. Thanks so much. Love your review.
it's work very good on my 2015 Honda Accord Sport. Sometimes I am at a stop, it's say 0.0 mph. Thanks

Very nice so which one better?

thank you for all of your reviews, this is really helpfull.
+בר אדרי Thanks for your comment!
I was interested in purchasing this but i dont want it to say 3.3 mph when i am at a stop. Thats a big bug.
+MrRangerZr1 I agree. Before noticing this issue, I was going to announce this is my favorite HUD because of the brightness and clarity and simplicity. It's small annoyance, but I will let the viewers decide.
dial2fast Have you tried tweaking the settings to fix it?

Yup, you're definitely right. I watched it after reading this and noticed it changed from MPH to M

Be sure. to check compatibility notice for American and Asian cars made before 2007
Hi, can you check with manufacturer if is working on electric cars? Like Audi e-tron?
Oh man, currently out of stock...well I have no option but to wait.
Where can I find the plastic reflector by itself? I bought a similar car head-up display but it only includes the sticker kind of reflector, I'd like it to be adjustable/removeable.
Did you say OBD1 port? If yes is there a cable available and what are the reading it will show?

I'm thinking of getting a HUD unit for my Dad's new 2017 Honda Accord, what model would you suggest today? Thanks for your time and Happy Holidays.
is it possible that the device stop my car from changing gear? it shows me speed alert of 255 km when i start the engine, and the car stucks on first gear until i unplugs the hud from obd2, please help.
SO THIS THEN WORKS WITH OLD OBD1 PORTS, BUT 93 MAZDA MX6 LS THO? WHAT FUNCTIONS DO YOU LOOSE IN OB1?
Do you think this unit is better than the A8? And if the speed issue is fixable by a software update how can you download the update?
These units can't be flashed at home. The manufacturer will have to fix it in there next release.
nice purchase, how did you run the 5ft cable?
What heads up display do you recommend for someone on a tight budget
And you STILL can't change the fuel consumption from liters to gallons.
Just go to walmart and get the 3.3... don't press too hard on buttons and youll be good.
will this work on a 2001 4runner
Nice review
I think that's the miles u have driven
its OBDII not OBD. misleading
It has an OBD port, but the cable has the standard OBDII 16 pin connector, but if you get the OBD to OBDII converter this will be able to communicate with your older car's ECU.
