2. Route Cable: Carefully insert the wire into the A-pillar seal or along the dashboard edges to conceal it.
3. Position HUD: Connect the USB side to the HUD unit and place the unit on your dashboard in a position that allows for a clear projection on your windshield without obstructing your view. Use the provided non-slip mat to secure the device.
4. Apply Reflective Film (Optional): If the display is not clear due to windshield tint or curvature, apply the reflective film to the windshield where the HUD projects. Ensure the film is clean and free of bubbles for optimal clarity.

6. Troubleshooting

6.1 Common Issues and Solutions

• No Display/Power: Ensure the USB cable is securely connected to both the HUD unit and a functional USB power source in your vehicle. Check the vehicle's USB port for power.
• No Speed Reading/GPS Signal Flashing:
  • Ensure the vehicle is in an open environment, away from tunnels, underground garages, or dense urban areas that may obstruct satellite signals.
  • Wait for the device to acquire a stable GPS signal (GPS signal icon will stop flashing). This may take a few minutes upon first use or after a long period of inactivity.
  • If your car's windshield has a metal explosion-proof film, it might interfere with GPS reception. Consider repositioning the HUD or using the reflective film.
• Inaccurate Speed Reading:
  • GPS-based speed tracking devices may have a slight margin of error (0.6-1.8 mph). This is normal.
  • Use the "Speed Error" setting (F-4) to calibrate the HUD's speed display to match your vehicle's speedometer more closely.
• Display Not Clear/Reflective:
  • Ensure the HUD is placed on a flat, stable surface.
  • Adjust the angle of the HUD.
  • Apply the provided reflective film to the windshield for enhanced clarity, especially in bright conditions.
• Speeding Alert Not Working: Check the "Buzzer ON/OFF" setting (F-1) to ensure the buzzer is enabled. Verify the "Speed Alarm Limit" setting (F-2) is configured correctly.
