What’s in the Box?

You’ll find three items in the box:
  1. Hudly Wireless Head-Up Display (HUD)
  2. Cigarette Lighter Power Cable
  3. Microfiber Cloth

Installing Your Hudly

Setup is easy and you’ll be driving with Hudly Wireless in no time.

1) Clean your car’s dashboard to ensure a strong adhesive bond with Hudly.


2) Remove the plastic from Hudly’s base to reveal the adhesive.

    • Tip: Keep this protective film in case you remove the base stand in the future. This film protects the adhesive from dust.
    3) Place the HUD onto your dashboard to match your line of sight. Press the base down firmly to set the adhesive.
    • Tip: Place it to the side of the steering wheel or directly in front, close to the front of the dashboard.

    4) Insert one end of the cigarette lighter power cable into the HUD’s mini USB port, and the other into the car’s cigarette lighter. The power indicator will turn green when powered on.
    • Tip: The USB port lets you charge your phone while driving
    5) Adjust the display angle as you like so you can clearly see the screen. You can also adjust the angle of the base.
    • Tip: We recommend 45 degrees for the display

    6) To tidy up the power cable, tuck the wire along where your windshield and dashboard meet. 

    Note: Use the microfiber cloth to clean the HUD without scratching the display.
