This wasn't actually my first choice for a HUD. I didn't buy this one first because it cost less and i honestly thought paying more would get me something better. oh how wrong Pyle has proven me!
I plugged in this PYLE HUD, spent a few minutes with the instructions to switch it from KPH to MPH. (when setting up, the letters appearing denotes what setting you are adjusting, not the numbers as i originally thought).
the Pyle unit is bright enough to see clearly on a sunny day but adjusts very nicely at night.
this Pyle HUD was half the price and is twice the product of the first HUD i bought! i plan to get several more Pyle HUD's as stocking stuffers for christmas (especially my father who tends to have a heavy foot!)
i feel it is pretty accurate up until about 60, then starts to show faster than car speedometer
Really good build quality. The unit is light but doesn’t feel cheap or delicate.
Easy to install, plug it into your cigarette lighter, place it in the non-slip tray, and stick on the film (if necessary). It’s only slightly confusing to configure: you will need the consult the manual to change the default km/h to mph.
Compass and speed seem very responsive and accurate. Seems to use GPS for heading, because I know my car dash emits a bunch of bizarre magnetic interference.
Unfortunately, at least with my windshield, there are “echoes” in the projected image: the readouts are doubled, or even tripled. Surprisingly, the image is clearer without using the provided “reflection film”. While it does make the image appear much brighter, this has a side effect of making the echoes brighter too, which interferes with the legibility of the speed and compass readouts.
See photos of echoes with and without the provided film. The film has a slight tint, like sunglasses.
This echo problem may be partly due to the (possibly unusual) angle of my Prius 2015 dashboard and windshield. I notice if I adjust the angle of the unit, one of the echoes can be made to overlap more closely with the other two, which makes it much easier to read.
Even if the echoes are fixable with twiddling, it’s disappointing to have to futz around and troubleshoot, since the product marketing promises crisp and clear projection.
The white speed readout is a _lot_ larger and brighter than the green compass readout. It is visible, but the white glare competes with the compass, making it harder to read at a glance. If you will mostly use the speed readout, this may be fine, but since the compass was the main reason I bought this, I would have liked the compass info not to be crowded out like that.
While it “does what it says on the tin” and ticks all the obvious boxes, there are a bunch of design details where the unit does poorly, it is just a bit weird.
The unit emits an unpleasant beep when it turns on. Not super loud, and it can be turned off, but an unnecessary pollution of the personal soundscape.
The irrelevant satellite status and beep setting are also displayed at all times. I only need to know if the GPS connection is not good. Seeing the icon all the time is visual clutter.
Strangely (and I accept this is a tiny thing) the unit doesn’t always present the compass direction’s letters in “speaking order”, even though it would have been trivially easy to do so. E.g. north east and south east are “E N” and “E S”. I would have barely noticed this, but they seem to have gone out of their way to have two “W”s, bookending the rest of the letters. Strangely, for cardinal west, the left one is used, but for diagonal west-ish directions, the right one is used. The upshot is that sometimes directions are displayed in an unnatural order. A strange misstep. (I wonder if it’s because this is the English variant of a Chinese product, and is this ordering makes sense with Chinese compass characters. Your guess is good as mine.)
Stepping back, if these sort of detailed design/experience things tend not to bother you, this product will work great for you. Otherwise, know this product delivers a spotty user experience overall, despite its pretty excellent performance and build quality.

Also the directions were written by someone who's first language is not English. Very hard to understand. Plus if we did want to use the speedometer function, it would need tweaking. I couldn't understand it at all. One button to move thru the functions. Just didn't work for us.
