Heads-Up Display - Anyone Using One?

[RiFF RaFF]

I'm sort of a electronics geek, and get a kick out of wizz-bang things. With that said - is anyone using a Heads-Up Display via ODBII? If so - how do you like it?

I've had HUD in two vehicles and really liked it. I sourced a decent projector and the material to apply to the windshield but had n interest in cutting holes in my dash pad.

This one looks like it's surface mount?

Yeah, no big holes in the dash cover. A few fastener holes or some good quality Velcro might do the trick here. A custom mounting foot for the 80 for a decent HUD might be desirable if people take to this. Seems 3D-printerefic...

I went ahead and ordered one. I'll post how it works out in my build thread.

I used the HUD from my Iphone GPS Speedometer and enjoyed it. I would buy a real one if I had a job.

Do they make one for OBD1?

Seen this in a customer car and thought it was cool, was really visible even during the day. I had factory heads up unit in my 240sx years ago and always thought it was nice to have. I considered getting it for my rigs now after seeing it but have yet to pull the trigger.

Looking forward to seeing your install. At that price ($60~) I can see one in my future if the mounting doesn't look like a kludge from outside.

I noted it looks like it will display temperature, the most important number besides whether you're breaking the speed limit in an 80.

Seems like the low angle of the windshield in the 80 would be an issue.

Funny. Yesterday, while searching for a rear camera system to use with my iPad, I came across that thing. Subscribed.

I bought 2 different Wiiyii Chinese Huds from Amazon over the past week. Neither of them would work with my 97 lx450, and I have no idea why when I have a BT reader that I can use with my phone with no oroblems..I was trying to save money
..but may just bite the bullet on an ultraguage
