VJOYCAR H500G GPS HUD Speedometer User Manual

1. Introduction

The VJOYCAR H500G is a GPS Head-Up Display (HUD) speedometer designed to provide real-time driving information directly in your line of sight. It collects speed data from GPS satellites, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of vehicles without interfering with the car's engine or OBD port. This device is suitable for use in SUVs, ATVs, pick-up trucks, scooters, golf carts, buses, boats, trains, bikes, motorcycles, and other vehicles.

Unlike traditional LED HUDs, the H500G does not require a projection film on the car glass and avoids double images even under direct sunlight. It features a built-in vibration sensor for automatic power on/off, conserving power when stationary.

VJOYCAR H500G GPS HUD Speedometer compatible with various vehicles including fuel vehicles, new energy vehicles, pick-up trucks, and big trucks.
