Pyle PHUD18OBD Car HUD Head-Up Display

 The Pyle PHUD18OBD Car HUD Head-Up Display provides a glimpse into the future of driving since it projects various vehicle parameters such as temperature and speed onto the windscreen for convenient viewing. By putting all important driving data in your direct line of sight, this clever device improves safety.

OVERVIEW of Head-Up Display

HUD is short for Head Up Display. It displays driving data on the front windshield such as speed on the car’s front window glass; avoiding driver unsafety because of watching the instrument while driving.

PHUD18OBD HUD INSTALLATION

1. Know your vehicle brand, HUD work for cars with OBDII agreement or EU OBD agreement. Open the engine hood and find the sticker below it (see the below picture 1), if it has words like OBDII CERTIFIED, then it can be installed.
2. Find out the 16 pin diagnostic link (see the below picture 2) of the vehicle and connect it well with OBDII connecting line.

HUD SETTINGS

The car speedometer value has been adjusted high by car factory to make driving safe. Since HUD receives data from ECU, the HUD display is the accurate value. ECU calculated data will be a little different from car dashboard data. If you find the HUD display value is not the same as your dashboard, you can enter the menu setting to adjust the HUD value, and then the HUD display information will be the same as your dashboard.
Vertically press in the wave button 5 seconds:
Enter into menu setting (there are 3 directions for the wave button: up, vertical, down), vertical long press, enter the menu setting, vertical short press 1 time, menu options will increase 1 unit, up and down the wave button to increase or decrease the parameter value. After adjustment, vertical long press 5 seconds to return the previous interface.

USE AND INSTALLATION FOR REFLECTION FILM

Please Note: HUD projects dashboard information on the car’s front windscreen, because the windscreen is double, which will make a double reflection on the windscreen when it works. The double reflection will be a different cause of the different windscreens. If you can see clearly the displayed information, then there is no need to use the reflection film. If there is a double image, then please use the reflection film. First, please put the non-slip mat on the dashboard, and then put HUD on it.
Reflection film can be stuck to the position right above the HUD position which can reflect the host screen to the windscreen.

METHODS OF PASTING THE FILM

1. Spray some water on the place that the film will be pasted on, and then use a dry cloth to clean it.
2. Take off the back side（marked 1) of reflection film, then paste it to the window glass.
3. After you have adjusted the location, you can use a scratch board or something else flat to slick the film and squeeze the water inside out until there is no bubble or water in it.
4. Take off the protection film (marked 2) of the reflection film. If the film cannot display the whole information, please adjust the non-slip mat to move the position.

4. Wrong operation lead to crashes. Or inaccurate data
   Do a reset setting.
5. Inaccurate Speed
   1. First check the speed unit is correct or not, the speed unit including KM/H and MPH, short press in the wave button to switch between KM/H and MPH
   2. When HUD is powered on, vertically press the wave button for 5 seconds to enter the menu options, here menu option shows 0, and the parameter shows 107, up or down the wave button to increase or decrease the value according to the difference until it shows the correct one.

   When HUD is powered on, vertically press the wave button for 5 seconds to enter into menu 1, The parameter shows 117, up or down the wave button to increase or decrease the value to 100. After adjustment, vertical press in 5 seconds to save it.
7. Inaccurate fuel consumption
   The unit for fuel consumption is L/100Miles, the HUD display is the single driving fuel consumption, while the car display is Integrated average driving fuel consumption, so it is normal if there are the differences. HUD display three kinds of fuel consumption
   1. Idle mode: HUD displays Instantaneous fuel consumption per hour (L/H), which means HUD can figure out how much oil the car will consume after starting the engine in one hour.
   2. Driving mode: HUD display Instantaneous fuel consumption of 100Miles
   3. Finish driving: HUD displays have an average fuel consumption of 100 miles, when turn off the car, HUD will auto-turn off in 10s. Under the condition with power, vertically press the wave button for 5 seconds to enter the menu option, show press 11 times to find menu 11, the default value is 20 (means the emission is 2.0L), up or down the wave button to increase or decrease the value according to the difference with your car emission until it shows correct. Vertical press in 5 seconds to save and exit. Or find menu 2, the parameter shows 100, up or down to adjust.
