HUDWAY Drive is a portable heads-up display for everyday commute:
- Keeps you connected in a less distracting way: speed, navigation, calls, notifications, or music info on a translucent screen right in front of you.
- Works with any navigation app by screen mirroring: Google, Waze, or any other maps you want to use behind the wheel.
- One-time quick setup: stick the device to the dashboard and pair it with your smartphone via bluetooth. Next time everything will connect automatically as your wireless headphones.
- Designed to merge with your dash: flexible mount allows to install the Drive in most cars.
When the Drive is connected to an OBD-II scanner, it gets vehicle data and shows it on the screen as widgets, such as: RPM, voltage, fuel level, and so on.
HUDWAY Drive features a versatile design that allows you to fit it on almost any vehicle's dashboard. However, there are exceptions. Some models have a windshield that is too slanted for HUDWAY Drive to fit in with its lens open at the full 90°.
We suggest that you try out the paper device mockup in your car first. Download it, print, cut out, and take to your car.

Does it block my view?
HUDWAY Drive doesn't block the view in front of a driver since it's located a bit below the line of sight and its lens is translucent (almost transparent). The image from the app you stream is like floating on the line of view very comfortably.
Measurements
H: 4 in (10 cm), W: 6.3 in (16 cm), D: 7.3 in (18.5 cm)
For better understanding, visit our Help Center article. You can refer to the pictures there and print a cut-out template to make sure it fits the dash. Please note, that we also have a list of incompatible cars due to the configuration of the dash and windshield angle.
How is it connected to a smartphone?
The main interaction way with your smartphone is BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy). It works with our proprieatry HUDWAY Drive app only. Alternatively, you can opt for a mirroring mode via WiFi and see your phone screen as is. More details here.

HUDWAY Drive + thermal night vision camera
After a week of use Ive finally settled on how I feel about the whole hudway set up. Its definitely something I would get if I had to get a different car. the OBD2 is the only sore spot for the device as it does not really work as of writing this. that being said everything else works great. I recommend using the camera systems along with the main hud unit for a better experience.
Easy install. Require new Hudway Drive App. Mirroring functionality from iPhone 12 does not work.
Hi, everyone,
I received my Hudway Drive four weeks ago, so I had enough time to test it out extensively.
First of all: The waiting time was absolutely worth it!
Installation:
The product is delivered in a very high quality packaging. The instructions are easy to understand and the installation was therefore very easy.
Commissioning:
After the installation, the device was connected and the associated app was downloaded. The detection of the hardware and the initial setup went smoothly.
Only the supplied OBD2 adapter stopped working after a short time. I replaced it with another model, and since then the OBD2 adapter has mostly been recognized without any problems. (Every now and then there seem to be connection problems after a long period of standstill. If you decouple the Hudway-Drive via Bluetoorh and reconnect it, the OBD2 adapter is usually recognized immediately.)
Use:
In the last few weeks I have experienced driving much more relaxed, focusing on the HUD is much easier than on the speedometer. The brightness is sufficient during the day, but a bit too bright at night. An automatic dimming function would be desirable here so that you do not always have to readjust the brightness in the app. The speed, which is read out via the OBD2 connector, is sufficiently accurate and is also updated and transferred quickly enough, occasionally there are very slight delays. When using the smartphone connected via bluetooth, I did not notice a big difference in terms of the transmission of the speed to the HUD, the delay is hardly noticeable.
As a bonus when coupling with an OBD2 adapter, the engine speed and other vehicle data can be displayed. The date and outside temperature are always displayed as small widgets. I also really like the option of removing the device to protect against theft.
All in all, I can only recommend the device. The speed that is constantly in view helps you to concentrate more on the traffic and still have the permitted maximum speed present. (For this purpose I have set the warning to 50km / h so that the speed display is then shown in red which gives already an indication in the peripheral field of view)
Like I said: I am driving another car now!
The image is clear, even in the sunlight. It is removable, so it is a good thing. For example, it is cheap to move it from a car to another just with few dollars.
The package is nice, the power plug is with double outputs and small.
Thank you for OBD II interface!
A motorized glass will be great.
Mount it with care, align with eye direction, and you will see a correct image.
A direct link between OBD interface and device would be nice, without using smartphone (I prefer that).
Specially for the link with the camera, I bought this device. It is the great feature! The reverse camera and the night vision camera, in special. Only... the night vision camera it looks to be too expensive...
Attention: If you ever used silicons for polishing the dash board, the double faced adhesive or any duct tape, will NEVER stay in place! So, 2-3 screws will not ruin the dash board. Few holes in the mount will be helpful for future models.
So far, so good. And sorry for my rusty English. :)
Hi there,
I just unboxed the device - really great!
Mounting is quick, Installation easy and my first driving experience is just fine!
Some minor weaknesses for the mounting plate (at low rpm`s it is a bit shaky but readability is still ok) - the device itself is really great!
The IOS software works well (hopefully in German in the future...)
I will now start to play around with a mount for my bike. let’s see what the result will be...
Thanks for the product!
Kind Rgds. Till
Nice product with some flaws:
1) Indicates a positive speed reading when a car is standing still
2) No automatic disconnect of the device. You have to make two actions in a mobile phone each time You leave Your car if You want Your spouse to be able to connect to the device
Отличный продукт. Легко монтируется на панель.Быстро подключается к смартфону и ELM свистку. Приложение интуитивно понятное. Спасибо разработчикам и производителям Hudway Drive.
Есть сайт с технической поддержкой.
I like very much design and how built up. The packaging was brilliant too. Very curious and try it out in my car.
