Product Description
Keep your eyes on the road
At 65 mph, looking down for one second to check the speedometer means driving blind for 95 feet. Many accidents start during the time a driver glances down and fails to see sudden traffic changes ahead. Now, drive safely by never looking down to check speed again with this Head-Up Display Speedometer. You may also set overspeed warning with the touch of a button. When the preset speed limit is exceeded, a visual indicator lights up and an optional alarm beeps (for up to 15 seconds) to remind you of the speed limit.
Know your true speed
The HUD uses GPS to determine the true speed of the vehicle. There are several reasons why there may be a difference between the speed displayed on the car's speedometer and the HUD. These include:
- calibration set by vehicle manufacturers to read high to ensure their speedometers never indicate a lower speed than the actual speed of the vehicle.
- speedometer inaccuracy due to aftermarket modifications such as different tire and wheel sizes or different differential gearing.

GPS Head-Up Display Speedometer (quick and easy installation) Review
I purchased this device to use in a 2012 Honda Ridgeline. I had a heads-up display back in the 1990's when I drove a Pontiac Grand Prix, and I've really missed it. Fortunately this device has brought that feature back to my vehicle.Installation of the device was rather simple. I just plugged it in and moved it around my dashboard until I found a spot where the reflection looked good on the windshield. Once I found that spot, I applied the adhesive and that was it. The adhesive actually adheres, which can be a problem for some adhesives in Florida. It has been mounted for two months without any problems.
Next, I installed the tinted strip that is included. This applies to the windshield so that the reflected speed can be seen more clearly whether it is bright or dark outside. I must say that I removed this after it was on for only an hour. First, I didn't like the distraction of this black strip in my field of vision. And second, the device is so bright that I didn't need it! I can see the speed clearly anytime of day. So I'm glad I removed the tint and I haven't missed it.
I will add that if you decide to use the device without the tinted strip that you might see a "ghost image" of the speed in your windshield. This has to do with the reflection of the speed through the glass. Basically you get a nice bright number with a fainter number appearing behind it. I found this a bit annoying at first, but I quickly got used to it and I don't even notice it anymore. This may or may not happen in other vehicles depending on the angle of the windshield.
Finally, I would like to mention that I liked this device so much that I went to a car-audio installation shop and had them hard-wire it into my vehicle. Now it doesn't have any cables hanging over my dashboard. After two months it looks and works wonderfully.
In sum, this device exceeded my expectations. I would not hesitate to purchase it again.
