Who uses OBD HUD (heads up display)?

**ice15** · July 20th, 2020 05:35 PM

balikan ko itong thread na ito...

saw a wireless HUD sa Lazada, rechargeable sya, will only tell you the time and speed.

Do you think it's useful? or pa-cute lang?

Planning to get it as a gift since walang plan yung owner mag-dashcam

Hud is extremely useful. Glancing down at the speedo can be very distracting....

Kahit speedo lang ok na.

If driving on track tachometer, gear, and maybe oil/water temps would be nice.

if you're flying an F-18, yes, useful... maybe.
but for ordinary driving,
"it's a distraction".

i mean,
that fact that one has to look at it,
is already distracting.

Thats why its a HUD doc. To make it -less- distracting. It projects at eye level and ive used cars with and without a HUD. And ive definitely noticed the difference....

I would love to have a HUD at eye-level on my windshield. If it can display the details below, I would be a happy camper.

Speed
RPM
Percent acceleration (or power)
Oil Temperature
Boost pressure
Outside Temperature
Compass heading

"if you need it, it's not a distraction."
"if you want it, it's a distraction."

we're just driving a car.
we're not out to cross carburators with anyone.

Guess it depends on the person. We are all different naman.

If you think of the car as a utilitarian device then it may not be needed.

But if its part of your work (logistics, trucking, transport), or cars are a passion to you (enthusiasts) then definitely the advantages are there to be had.

I fall in the later category. I like my cars with tech and power and innovation. Others couldnt care less. And hence there are different categories, brands, models, variants, displacements, configurations and consumer segments.

Once upon a time, power windows and power steering where an optional luxury...its now a standard necessity. Macho drivers then scoffed at it.

Once upon a time, a backup camera was a high end feature. Drivers then said they preferred their mirror. Now 360 cameras are making parking even safer.

Once upon a time, gps in a car was rocket science. Now even motorcycles use waze.

I can go on and on and on. We will all benefit from these...either in efficiency, safety, comfort and in the near future...automated driving assistance. Radar cruise control is a god send...but even that is considered old school nowadays. Lane keep assist, center lain assist, auto steering, start stop traffic radar assist, rear cross assist, collision detection and assist.....these will all be standard in a few years.
