[Bluepica]

Thanks bro

bro you can actually have that odd looking frame removed and use a reflective film on ur windscreen instead.i help my friend removed his and it works a charm.

for me i am still using the old skool vsd basis which i bought for 120 bucks used.

Thanks bro. I'm fine with the odd looking frame. It makes reading easier I guess..

wonder any bros here where can i mod led on my speedometer.

i want it light up even the lights are not on. Mine is the old fasion v.dark green light type.

 

Change to an optitron speedo cluster....

Damm cool... got opening ceremony some more!

After thinking of the HUD thingy, gave it up cuz' tot of betta idea...

 

Got myself a shiny 4' GPS, that tells me the speed...

 

Upside: no wiring, GPS, cheap ($299/-)

 

Downside: Battery lifespan, GPS weakness etc...

 

Please dunt shoot me for using my HP while driving - I did make sure my car fully stopped, & the other cars around me too, before taking a quick shot...

Wah, just installed at Mcwell last Friday for $150.......damn happy and shiok to drive.

 

Really more relaxing to drive without having to look down at the stock speedo, helps me easily to maintain speed within the speed limit as it is now so easy to get the speed reading and also comes with audible and/or visual speed warning.

 

Don't know why mfrs dont install this is as stock item for new cars, I believe they did use this technology on some earlier cars but somehow stopped.

 

I will never drive cars without HUD ever.

 

New BMW X6 has this HUD thingy

HUD should be standard.

[Testa_ross4]

OK that is cool too but once you get HUD you will get hooked

[Caravan]

Interesting, is the projection near or far? While driving you are looking far, so do your eyes have to refocus to near in order to see the numbers?

[Testa_ross4]

I dont have problem with focusing as the projection is quite far ahead but if you have no problems with the stock speedo, then you should have no problem with the HUD.

[Caravan]

anyway just called up they never do my car before, so got to try see if works.

They also never did mine before, but did it in one go. BTW what car you driving?

[Caravan]

kia magentis. I think this will be really useful at high speed.

[Testa_ross4]

Yes, it is very useful at high speeds and cornering.

[Caravan]

Well did it at autobacs too but a bit disappointed as their worksmanship no good. They didn't clean the windscreen probably and the film has quite a lot of dirt in it. If solar film, it's an automatic failure. Complained but they say no extra film so can't redo it.

Anyway quite useful la as it's digital and dun have to look down to check speed. Useful up north.

Redo at Solar Film shop. HUD very useful.
