4. Setup and Installation

Follow these steps to properly install your AMHVMU M17 HUD:

1. Placement: Choose a suitable flat surface on your dashboard, typically near the windshield, where the HUD will not obstruct your view of the road. Place the non-slip mat on this surface.
2. Secure the HUD: Place the M17 HUD unit on the non-slip mat to prevent it from sliding during driving.
3. Connect Power:
   • For OBD2 Mode: Locate your vehicle's OBD2 port (usually under the dashboard on the driver's side). Connect one end of the OBD2 cable to the HUD unit and the other end to the vehicle's OBD2 port.
   • For GPS Mode: Connect one end of the USB cable to the HUD unit and the other end to a USB power source in your vehicle (e.g., a USB car charger or a car's USB port).
4. Route the Cable: Carefully route the connected cable along the dashboard and A-pillar to conceal it and prevent interference with driving controls.
5. Apply Reflective Film (Optional): If the display is not clear due to windshield reflections, apply the reflective film to the windshield where the HUD projects. Clean the windshield thoroughly before applying.

The M17 automatically detects the connection type. If both OBD2 and USB cables are connected, the device will prioritize OBD2 mode. If only the USB cable is connected, it will operate in GPS mode.

6. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your AMHVMU M17 HUD, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe the display screen and the unit's body. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, which can damage the surface.
