@@AlexAutoFun That is understandable, hence why I was trying to help :-). What Ci Z33 is saying is that they are doing a terrible job marketing this product, it is actually marketed incorrectly. Additionally, they have OVERPRICED this product by a long stretch, which is true - compared to all other HUD products out there. It's a replica of existing products, and they just got lucky with kickstarter raising money on a product they have quite literally cloned. If the other companies were in Europe or USA, there would be infringement issues for sure, but they're Chinese mass-producers who could care less. One more thing.. he stated this isn't a HUD but a computer interface, that is 100% CORRECT. A HUD is an analog, this is just a projection of what's on the phone. Those devices range between $49-$69 online... Anyway. Hope that clears it up a little. :-)

Interesting as I have worked on very few at the GM dealer. I was surprised it did not fill the screen edge to edge and would be nice to see rear facing camera action. I would guess the engine/vehicle info coming from the OBD-II port is “Bluetooth” or hard wired. I will look it up and see what info they provide. Perhaps the big screen is full with the cockpit of an F-18 Raptor...Yea! Just don’t hit any RED flip cover switches. You could destroy the Kia in front of you. I wear glasses to read, but not to drive, it can see the dash clearly so it’s positions measurement from the face to screen would be info someone may like. Very good, clearly explained as your Martini is shaken, not stirred! Congrats. Automotive ASE Master Tech since 1978 - Retired

Thank you Dean! I'm waiting to receive the rear facing (and side mounted) cameras, will do another video for those soon! For the OBD port yes you are correct, it uses Bluetooth (video on that coming too) I will try not to hit any red flip cover switches in the meantime! LOL thanks for watching friend! (by the way I always wanted to get my SAE cert and never did went thru with it, congrats on achieving Master tech level!)

@deankay4434 3 жыл бұрын

The Master tech level or any certification last 5 years. Like a dummy, I took all 8 test in the spring or fall but instead of 60 questions on each test, 40 questions on the re-certification test. It last five years and I have kept all mine by going back in 5 years, sometime 6. They don’t take it away. If you are current in all 8 test, you are allowed to take “L1” advanced emissions. It is 100 questions and I missed one. I passed “P2” and “B2” for parts & body/paint. But you have to have 2 years of actual work experience with a letter from the manager. There is only 5 types of questions so Master them and learn how to read in a test book and you can take pay & take 1 or 8 test. It is draining for one night but I don’t have to take them anymore. Not bad for a farm kid who never went to trade school and high school didn’t even have shop!

Also they just released another App update and a firmware update earlier this month with some noticeable improvements (likely from the use of the Feedback button on the App) Here is also a good alternative while you wait for your Hudway kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gZ12lcuLud7ckXU.html Cheers!

Hi Fullcirc! Good idea! Actually now that I think about it, if you use Waze (using the mirror function of the HUD) you get your current speed but also and indicator when you go over the speed, I'm not sure if Google Maps or if Maps for Apple does same but I really like Waze in case you want to try it out.

hi how much would you charge to install this with the cameras? just trying to et an idea of how much i should budget for install. Thanks!

@AlexAutoFun 8 ай бұрын

Hi Soul! I currently don't offer local installation, as I'm focused on reviews. But if what I typically seen is that installer pricing can very quite a bit depending on many factors such as: if they are licensed and insured, if they mobile or brick and mortar, if they are experienced or new, the type of vehicle (specialty or luxury vehicles typically are more), if the product is customer supplied or purchased from the vendor. So I would recommend to get a couple quotes before deciding on one. Cheers!

Hi tubeyourself! The tape on the first generation base is not as strong as the tape on the new bases shipping out (mine was the original base) that being said while the original tape allows it to come off easier, it is still going to attach pretty strong, and depending on how long it has been on there the harder it is to remove.

Hi John! the brightness is pretty much close to what you see on the video, I'm able to see it well during bright sunlight but I do have to say that it really shines at evening and night, that's when you can really feel the colors and the fine details. It reminds me of a spaceship display like in the movies. I have driven straight in the direction of the sun (super bright day the ones that make you bring the sun visor down) and yes in that case the HUD is not as visible as the brightness of the sun overpowers it.

There is one view that I actually use quite a bit where are all you see is the speed (no circle) which makes it looks super clean, I don't think I showed that on this video. But I'm working on a follow up video showing more details (using the OBD dongle). Which should enable the Hudway drive to display the RPMs and other car stats (I track my cars, so I'm curious to see this thing in action next time I take out to autocross). One thing I noticed on the App, it appears to let you submit message to Hudway, so hopefully as more people get this thing we can ask for specific gages styles or my dream of being able to create and load your own gauge..

Hi Partha! Good question, no they HUD will not project the Android Auto screen on the HUD. Remember when plug your phone into an Android Auto enabled vehicle, the car's infotainment screen is the one that displays Android Auto, the phone its self does not display the Android Auto screen. So if you are using Android Auto for directions, you wont see those on the HUD. The HUD can only mirror what you display on your phone. Maybe later Android Auto can add support to work together with the Hudway drive, that would be be pretty cool. Hope this helps and thanks for watching!
