how does it work? i know what it is and does but how does it attach and display?
Here are a couple shots of the unit in operation. Comments: would be nice to not have to plug it in to have the HUD working. Its A LOT brighter than it looks in the photos. Very nice, responsive, useful, inexpensive, easy to use. I have no night shots but its even better at night, it dims a bit or brightens depending on ambient lighting. I am going to route the wire inside the dash I think; and/or wire the adapter directly into the power inside the dash...
It mounts magnetically to a small metal piece you double-sided tape to the dash. You set it up so you can see the HUD in a desirable spot on the windshield, where you apply a small piece of reflective-ish tint stuff. It uses GPS satellite signals to give you a pretty nice readout in MPH or KPH as well as heading (N-S-W-E and the in-betweens).
