Has anyone got one of these.

l have changed to a motorhome 6 months ago, l have a real problem reading the speedo on my Ducato due to the high driving position, the problem starts around the 30mph its hard to read without looking down, even then its difficult, it helps if l turn the lights on. l can fetch the speed up on the computer directly in front of me on the Ducato instrument panel, but if l require any of the other menus it means changing.l have not yet tried it with the mph menu but will today. Back to the Head up display units his anyone using them and are they reliable l have seen the one in Halfords for £40 but have seen others on the market that don't require putting the reflective screen on the window screen. what l have seen on youtube seems to be the answer but would rather be convinced by any of you on here who have experience of them. Would love to here your thoughts.

I'm a convert this is exactly what I was looking for. So easy to fit as Heethers said 10 minutes from opening box to installed and working.

I have fitted the M7 OBD2+GPS unit as advertised on Amazon and demonstrated on YouTube. Takes 5 minutes to fit and a lifetime to understand the instructions, so here is my rewritten short version. I have a full version if you need it.

The projection on your windscreen is bright, clear and fully adjustable. Had no problem fitting on Fiat Ducato 2.3 multijet 150 Automatic Diesel manufactured 2017.

M7 HUD setting

Watch the image reflected on windscreen to make adjustments.

Vertical long press 5s to enter the menu setting,

Push right or left to make a menu choice (1-11)

vertical press inward (1s) to enter parameter,

push right or left to do a parameter adjustment, press inward( 1s) to return to the main page;

press inward (5s) to save adjustment.

Menu Function Range Description Default

1 Speed 50-100 Adjust left/right to correct 107
2 Rpm Alarm 10-75 Alarm at RPM 75
3 Alarm stages 0-1 0=Off 1+60,80,100.120km.h 0
4 Overspeed Alarm 30-199 Icon will light uo at 150km/h 150
5 Display Mode 0-2 0=High>80 1 displays all info 2 speed 1
6 Brightness 0-11 0 =Auto 1 =Darkest 11 =Brightest 0
7 Speed units 0-1 0=km/h 1=mph 0

Note: manually turn off the HUD when you not used for more than a week.
OBD equipment under power, the standby current is about 20mA, it is recommended to unplug the OBD device if your car will stand time.
