HUD

[DHC09]

Picked up this simple speedo HUD unit while I was overseas earlier in the year and finally got the time to wire it up and put in last week. Here are some pics B)

The kit comes with:

The heads up display unit

Cable connector for easy wiring

Power, ground, and speedo wires

HUD screen (goes on windscreen)

Angle ramps and tape (the ramps are not really needed as the rolla windscreen has enough angle for a good reflection)

In action: Sorry bout the shaky phone cam images (To the cops: before you try to hunt me down, the pics were taken by a passenger sitting behind me, and both pics were taken at 110k zone :P)

This also works really well during the day. Day pics are coming as well as some detailed setup pics

Other features: Time (when under 10km/h), alarm clock, speed attention & warning (adjustable), and brightness & volume adjustments.

Looks good :D how much did u get it for? n where?? :P

[Seano]

Also is that a shift light i see with different lights for different revs :P

[DHC09]

Got these from the distributer in Taiwan, and costs around $110-120 (maybe cheaper).

Im planning to arrange a few more units to be sent/bought here soon as a few ppl here in Brisbane already wants them.

Good to see that the iShift + HUD work together on the same lead.

I'm interested!

[Kenneth]

Hey Dave. When is mine coming!?

110 zone? Both Photos? HAHAAHA! We can keep it as out little secret :P

[DHC09]

Got some day shots today.

From the outside: HUD unit and screen

Time display when in idle

[saintly]

does it only work for corolla? or is it a standard model for all cars?

am asking for the aurion.

[DHC09]

I'm not going as far as saying it'll work for all cars, but I'm confident it'll work for Toyota's :)

It should work in the aurion, just need to find the right wires.

The speedo calibration is not an issue as it needs to be manually calibrated for each car anyway

For the people that wants one, I've just started a group buy for $110

[theDefiant1]

Dang, that looks good bud!

[T_Money]

just installed mine and its wicked!

[Seano]

Is ther eanyway to easily remove the HUD unit when you get out of the car? Would hate for someone to see it and think that looks like it could fund my next hit, I'll take that - its kinda in a please steal me position.

I guess u can cut the wire near the unit and install a 3 pin socket/plug there, then u can easily unplug it and hide it somewhere. But seriously half the sado bogans wouldn't even know what it is :P

1) shift-i;

All the info is in the 1st post. It displays the speed, and time (when under 10km/h). Other features include alarm clock, speed attention & warning (adjustable), and brightness & volume adjustments. And no the shift light seen in the pics is not included.

There's a new group buy at the moment, so put your name down if your really interested :)

We had a GB of the Shift-I awhile ago link

[DHC09]

This was bought up in the GB thread:

I will be writing up the Install guide tonight when I get home from work. Its very straight forward.

As with cops: from the outside you won't be able to see the holographic numbers even at night. The only thing you would see is the glow from the display unit. Cops have seen this on my car on 3 separate occasion on RBT road blocks both day and night, and none of them had a problem with it. In fact one cop was asking me bout it and thought it was a really good idea I told him the correct word to use here is uber :P

This isn't surprising, as there are cars where this feature comes standard. The main one that springs to my mind (mainly because I want one) is a U13 SSS Bluebird
