PREPARATION BEFORE INSTALLATION AND USE
Know the type of your vehicle.
The WHD-100 is intended for operation in 1996 or newer
vehicles that are OBDII compliant. To verify if your
vehicle is OBDII compliant, confirm that it has the 16-pin
OBDII plug beneath the dash. On some vehicles you
can also open the hood and look for a decal similar to
the image below.
NOTE: The vehicle OBDII port is generally located
beneath the steering wheel under the dash. Some
vehicles may have the port located behind a trim panel
in this area. Consult the vehicle Owner's Manual to
identify the OBDII location.

INSTALLATION
Placing HUD On Dash
1. Once the HUD has been successfully paired with
vehicle, it needs to be properly placed on the
vehicle dash to provide easily viewed reflected
display and not to interfere with safe operation of
the vehicle.
2. Locate the preferred placement on the vehicle dash
using Non-Slip Dash Pad included.
3. Position the OBDII Connection Cable so as to not
interfere with safe operation of the vehicle.
4. Install the Reflective Film above the HUD to allow
the reflected information to be displayed and easily
seen by the vehicle driver.
5. Once the film installation position is determined,
the film may be permanently installed to the vehicle
windshield.
NOTES:
1) Vehicles vary. Installation may require temporarily
holding the Reflective Film against the windshield and
repositioning the HUD to find the correct placement of
both the HUD and film that will provide the best viewing
angle.
2) Place the non-slip dash pad on your dashboard in the
desired location. If the dash pad becomes dull or no
longer grips, simply wipe the dash pad and dashboard area
clean with a damp cloth using nothing more than clean
water.

INSTALLATION
To Install Reflective Film
1. Lightly spray the area of the windshield with water
where the Reflective Film is to be installed.
2. Remove the protective film marked BACK and
position the film on the windshield. (The water
spray will allow for slight repositioning to confirm
proper location above HUD.)
3. Once properly positioned, any excess water behind
the film can be removed by using a non-scratch
squeegee (not included) to squeeze the water from
behind the film and remove any air bubbles.
4. Allow any remaining moisture to evaporate before
touching the Reflective Film. After moisture has
evaporated, carefully remove the protective film
marked FRONT.
NOTE: Installation of the Reflective Film should be
done in an environment above 50ºF. Adequate time
must be allowed for moisture to evaporate to insure
proper adhesion of Reflective Film. Evaporation
time will vary depending on climate and temperature
(generally 24-48 hours). The HUD may be used
immediately, however, the Reflective Film should not be
touched until all remaining moisture has evaporated.

of speed read out to match that of the vehicle speedometer

MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS).

MOTION TO AVOID ACCIDENTS.
