HUDWAY DRIVE is a portable head-up display for everyday commute:
— Keeps you connected in a less-distracting way: directions, calls, notifications, or music info brought to HUD over Bluetooth while your phone stays in your pocket
— Works with your favorite apps: Google Maps, Waze, or any other app you want to use behind the wheel
— One-time quick setup: as easy as pairing a smartphone with earphones
— Designed to merge with your dash: the slimmest aftermarket HUD with power-in mount
When connected to the OBD-II scanner, it receives vehicle data and displays in on head-up display. This allows for fetching voltage, speed, RPM, fuel consumption & level, and quite a number of other parameters.
HUDWAY Drive features a versatile design that looks good on any vehicle dashboard, and a thought-out mounting system.
The device affixes to its dash mount using a slide-in lock, and the power cable plugs in the mount not in the device, which is why it’s now easier to take the device off and place it back.
The mount also absorbs vehicle vibration, and driver can see the projection more comfortably.
HUDWAY Drive has a video input (CVBS) port to connect a camera to it. Using our installation kit, up to 4 cameras can be connected to HUDWAY Drive — so that information can be brought to the front of the driver's eyes:
Rearview camera: park with less stress
The rearview camera automatically turns on when selecting the reverse gear. It's equipped with rear parking distance sensors and and LED lights.
Side view cameras: stay in control of blind spots
Sideview cameras allow you to control blind spots when turning or overtaking. The video starts streaming automatically when your turn signal is on.
Rearview and sideview cameras are available together in the HUDWAY Cameras Set. Learn more >
Night vision camera: see in the dark
Night vision thermal camera displays the objects ahead that are otherwise beyond your headlights reach. It detects heat from the objects without a need for light, allowing you to see up to four times farther down the road. You’ll have visibility through dust, smoke, or fog, and better capability to avoid an accident. Learn more >
Built-in and custom-made solutions
In addition to that, we're developing custom device versions designed for particular vehicle models — for example, for Tesla Model 3 & Y. And they're already available for pre-order. Learn more >
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:
HUDWAY DRIVE — это портативный проекционный дисплей для любого автомобиля.
— Используйте его за рулем вместо смартфона — чтобы не отвлекаясь от дороги видеть, например, кто вам звонит или пишет в мессенджерах, куда повернуть на следующем перекрестке, какой трек сейчас играет, или с какой скоростью вы едете. Информация на дисплей передается с вашего смартфона по Bluetooth — поэтому телефон можно держать в кармане, с выключенным экраном.
— Работает с вашим любимым навигатором: Яндекс.Карты, Яндекс.Навигатор, Waze, Google Карты, Sygic — и любое другое приложение можно вывести на дисплей в режиме повтора экрана (screen mirroring).
— Подключается легко и быстро — как беспроводные наушники.
Мы протестировали HUDWAY Drive на десятках моделей, собрали отзывы от пользователей и нашли пять машин, на панель которых он не поместится из-за пологого лобового стекла. Если ваша модель не в списке, но вы сомневаетесь, что устройство поместится, распечатайте чертеж устройства и примерьте его к панели.
Кроме того, в течение 14 дней с момента получения товара, вы можете вернуть его, если он вам не подошел (подробная информация о возвратах на английском).
HUDWAY Drive состоит из двух компонентов — корпуса с линзой и дисплеем и подставки с гибким основанием. На нижнюю часть основания нанесен адгезив-пенка, за счет которого подставка прочно приклеивается к панели. Адгезив одноразовый, поэтому если вы планируете использовать устройство в нескольких автомобилях, рекомендуем купить дополнительные подставки и кабели питания.
Устройство питается от прикуривателя — в комплекте есть адаптер и кабель питания.
Кабель питания подключается к подставке, дальше питание передается на устройство без проводов — через пружинные контакты (погопины) на дне корпуса и верхней части подставки. Замки-защелки с пружинными фиксаторами плотно прижимают устройство к подставке — и вместе с тем его легко снять, чтобы убрать в бардачок или переставить в другую машину. Подставку с протянутым в нее кабелем можно оставить на месте.
HUDWAY Drive умеет обрабатывать и визуализировать данные автомобиля, например, скорость, обороты двигателя, потребление и уровень топлива и т.д. Чтобы их получать, подключите в OBD-порт автомобиля Bluetooth-сканнер стандарта ELM327 и подсоедините его к HUDWAY Drive.
К HUDWAY Drive можно подключить камеру — для этого у него есть видеовход (CVBS). Наш вариант его использования — подключить к устройству три (или четыре) камеры через видеоселектор. Так можно будет подавать на проекционный дисплей видео с парковочной камеры, боковых камер или фронтальной камеры ночного видения.
Камера заднего вида: паркуйтесь удобнее
Подключите парковочную камеру к задней фаре — тогда при включении задней передачи камера включится автоматически и будет показывать видео на HUDWAY Drive. Камера оборудована датчиками парковки и подсветкой, к ней также подключается звуковой модуль — так что это полноценный парктроник с видеомодулем.
Камеры бокового обзора: для контроля слепых зон
С боковыми камерами удобнее и безопаснее поворачивать, перестраиваться и обгонять. Видео с камеры подается на проекционный дисплей автоматически при включении поворотника.
Камеры бокового и заднего вида можно купить комплектом (в него также входит набор кабелей, видеоселектор и звуковой модуль).

Камера ночного видения: видит дальше, чем фары
Термальная камера ночного видения показывает объекты раньше, чем их выхватывает свет фар. Для их обнаружения камере не нужен свет — она реагирует на исходящее от объектов тепло, и чем теплее объект, тем ярче камера подсветит его на темном фоне. В среднем, камера «видит» примерно в 4 раза дальше, чем фары, и дает водителю больше времени сориентироваться и затормозить. Работает в дыму и тумане, в снегопад и ливень.

Встраиваемые и кастомные версии
Кроме стандартной модели HUDWAY Drive, мы разрабатываем специальные версии, адаптированные для определенных моделей — например, для Tesla Model 3 и Y (на них уже открыт предзаказ).

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.
