HUD Settings

As the HUD receives data from satellites, GPS data such as speed or distance travelled may be

slightly different to your car dashboard data. You can adjust the speed display on the HUD to get

results closer to your dash information. To do this, you should drive at a stable speed such as

60km/h and note the difference between the speedometer on the HUD and in the car.

Kogan.com recommends you have a friend assist you with this so that you can pay full attention

to the road.

For example, if you find that the HUD is 5km/h slower than your car speedometer, then you

should change the value of setting 0, as shown below, to 105. Note that this adjustment may

need to be changed over time as your tyres wear, or if you change components of your car such

as tyres, wheels or other drivechain parts.

Restore to Factory Settings

When the HUD is powered on, press and hold the button for 5 seconds to enter the menu

settings, then press it until you get to menu item 8. Pull the button down to option 1, then hold

the button for 5 seconds to save and exit back to the display interface.

Using and installing the reflection film

The HUD projects information up onto the windscreen. Due to the construction of your

windscreen, the HUD may create a double reflection on the windscreen, which will make it

difficult to read. If this occurs, please use the reflective film.

First, place the non-slip mat onto your dashboard, then place the HUD on it. The reflective film

can then be stuck into position right above the HUD position.

Sticking the film to the windscreen:

1. Spray some water onto the place where the film will be stuck, then use a dry cloth to

clean it.

2. Take off the backside (marked 1) from the reflective film, then paste it onto the

windscreen.

3. Once you have adjusted the location, you can use a ruler or something else flat to smooth

the film out, squeezing any bubbles or water out.

4. Take off the protection film (marked 2) from the reflective film. If the film isn't positioned

to display all of the information, please adjust the non-slip mat to move the position of

the HUD.

Troubleshooting

HUD screen not powering up

Check that the power cable is plugged in securely to the HUD and to the cigarette lighter socket.

Check the HUD switch to ensure it is in the ON position. If there is still no display, please try the

unit in another car to test whether the car cigarette lighter is supplying power. If your car is not

supplying power, please consult with your car user manual or a qualified mechanic.

No speed, HUD powers off after 20 seconds or HUD will not automatically power on or off

When the starting voltage is less than 13.2V, the HUD will not power on. If your engine is running

and the HUD is still not working, please toggle the power switch on the side to turn it on, then

hold the button in for 5 seconds to enter into the settings menu. Once in the settings, navigate

through to settings menu 7. Push or pull the button to adjust the voltage from 132 to 128 or

lower. Try turning on your car again to see if the HUD now automatically turns on.

HUD will not automatically power off after the car is turned off

The HUD is designed for a default voltage value of 13.2V. When the voltage is above 13.2V, it will

automatically power on, then when it is lower than 13.2V is will automatically power off. If the

HUD does not power off automatically, hold the input button in for 5 seconds to enter into the

settings menu, then navigate through to settings menu 7. Adjust the voltage level to 135 or

higher, then press and hold the input button for 5 seconds to save. Please note that the value

shouldn't be set too high, as the HUD will not automatically power on due to not receiving

sufficiently high voltage.

Inaccurate Speed

When the HUD is powered on, press and hold the button for 5 seconds to enter into settings.

The menu 0 will show the parameter of 100 Push or pull the input button up or down to increase

or decrease the value according to the difference to your speedometer. For example, if your

HUD reads 5km/h lower than your speedometer, change this to 105. If your HUD is 4km/h higher

than your speedometer, change this value to 96. After making the adjustment, press and hold the

button for 5 seconds to save.

Overspeed Alarm

The default value for the overspeed alarm is 112km/h. Users can choose to increase/decrease this

value by themselves. When the HUD is powered on, press and hold the button for 5 seconds to

enter into the settings menu, then navigate to menu 1. The parameter will display 112, which

represents the speed at which the HUD will give an alarm once the car reaches that speed.

Push or pull the button up or down to set the desired speed, then press and hold the button in

for 5 seconds to save.

Cannot see the HUD clearly in sunlight

Check whether the HUD protective film is torn and that the reflection film is positioned correctly.

If this does not help you, press and hold the input button for 5 seconds to enter into the settings

menu, then navigate to menu 1. The parameter will display 0, automatic adjustment. Change this

to 2 for the highest brightness level, then press and hold the input button for 5 seconds to save.

Unit keeps crashing or showing bizarre or incorrect data

Please do a factory reset on the unit.
