A short review of the M3 OBD2 Head Up Display HUD device with a built in Speed Limit Alarm feature and more. This Head Up Display is a very affordable OBD2 Plug and Play device and can be installed on most OBD2 vehicles but not alll. It will also read and display the Battery Voltage of your vehicle and the Temperature. It supports both KPH and MPH and is easily changed in the settings options of the device.

Thank you for your demonstration video, it is very helpful.👍

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.

@SHORTwithTECH 5 ай бұрын

@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

Hi, no it doesn't change automatically, you need to push the button if your driving but when you stop and turn off the Ignition you can set it up to display the temperature for you automatically just before it shuts down. Yes its Celsius by default but it can be changed to fahrenheit in the settings, 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

@SHORTwithTECH 6 күн бұрын

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 29 күн бұрын

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 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/d7WWpdeJqeC1gXU.htmlsi=YkzFDQ0UFCmBr0tf

Can you turn off the overspeed alarm?

@SHORTwithTECH 7 ай бұрын

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 🙂

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 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
