I am so happy I found your channel! I just bought a 2008 Mercedes C300 4MATIC luxury and these videos have been super helpful for the mods I want for my car. Thank you! 🙏🏾
I brought the same one and have had no problems with it and boy do I love this new gadget
Dude, Game Changer… thank you for sharing this.
Thats a very simple and effective MOD! im definitely doing it soon too
Love the video and product. Very nice will order mine today. Thank you for all the great videos you’ve done.
Very nice video.. really like how you explain the details. Make me want to buy an Mercedes.. keep up the good work
Flexx. Your explanation technique is on point. You can be a School teacher . Btw I will install in my S550. 2012
Just ordered mine!.... I drive the same way, can't see how fast I'm going, thanks for the vid.
You guys young fellows are awesome👍🏼
I like this hud; there are so many on the market and they give almost way to much information displayed on the screen reflection...don't need to be in a starship unless you have one. But nice video, definitely getting one...blessings!!
I love the display reflecting on the window. But I could never have those wires showing on my S550 and the box just sitting on top of the dash. Maybe for a Toyota or Honda but never in a Benz, BMW, Audi…etc
I know what you mean, however they now make them wireless (for the information source to the HUD) and they are powered by a rechargable battery which lasts a month.
Wow 🤩 that’s awesome I have the same issue with the steering wheel.. thanks man
I just installed my hud I'm loving it. I'll put the wires away later.
Lol. My thoughts exactly
That’s really cool!
I DEFINETLY like the idea of a hud because i drive like you do but this looks a little cheap some kind of cover oem looking thing and wireless would be so cool but all in all great stuff thanks
WOW. Another great video. 🙃
So lucky I found your channel bro you literally saved me so much money !!!!
Can I have some of the money you saved? Just kiddin. Glad to help! 😎🤙🏼
Really cool, nice one
Fabulous!!!
That's too he best mod I've seen 👍👍
Awesome thing
I really wanted to get this, but it has to be plugged into the OBD II port. I have an Owlcam which is a dash cam that records 24/7 even if the car is off and alerts me if it senses motion, but it needs power which it gets through that port. As much as I’d like to see my speed, making sure I don’t get jacked in the mean streets of Boston is more important. Great video!
DJ Ice I have owl can also but I have dual OBD plug which s allow you to plug two items so I have my owl cam and my hud running
Does keeping devices like this 24/7 into the OBD port drain your battery?
What brand camera is it and how does it hook up I want one
When I heard you say...I have problem with my Mercedes, I was like, welcome to the party...lol! Nice car thoyfh
It looks very nice on the Window but the device is too big, too thick.
Nice Video 👍
I have it standard in my 2019 Honda Accord Touring and I love it and I think its in the 2018 as well. So its not only in higher end cars anymore
Nice; I think normally HUD is like a $1000 option.
Mercedes deserves wireless HUD
Exactly. I wouldn't buy this just because it is corded.
It’s soo cool tho
Very professional tutorial...And for some reason i think you are the owner of DMP but hehe get it playa....
Nope. They are just a very great sponsor who invest in me and in producing tons of accessories for the Mercedes community since nobody else really does it.
Will it mirror the other options of your dash controls mph is shown but what about tire pressure & fuel miles remaining does the hud display change to the setting choices chosen from the steering wheel Thanks
nope
I guess the speed settings is in percent, at 100 you should have exactly the same as the tacho, or maybe a more realistic speed since the oem always ober evaluate (by law).
Would allow you to calibrate it with a gps :-)
O wow what I would if I had real problems 🥺
For the Android screen does the car need to have come with the screen from the factory or can you add it you brought the car with just e regular head unit? Wanted to get one on eBay but seller said it wouldn't work so I went with a Kenwood. Love the Kenwood but would rather go with something original
What's up Flexx, Please I'm Putting in a Large order Finally TMRW!!!! and gonna include this, I just hit Daniel up up on what's up, I hope he answers back, but your video shows a nice slim model, the one on the website is Totally different model, big and bulky and looks nothing like the one you are demo in this video? Any Advice or input and it cost #35? Also this is minor issue, but I'm wondering even watching your video twice now, is there a place that works best that doesn't show that shadow double layer image on the glass? or does the screen take care of that when placed on the windshield??? Thanks Bro, can't wait to order and get my stuff here !!!!!!!! PLEASE RESPOND LET ME KNOW!!!
I don't like the HUD. But thanks for the video!
Cool mod..IMO I would probably get a dash cover and cut out a piece to fit that mod. Would be much cleaner..nice..thx for the vids bro
Bro u made W204 have better interior🤩
Cool gadget bro. Do you have a video about the android screen?
its on my channel
Hey flex,I have a w209 any upgrades available for it?
I installed a HUD too, it worked fine but after some day it just freezed at 70 kmh and just stopped working. After exchange to an another HUD still have the same problem. Checked ODB connector, its work just fine only HUD wont. Any idea?
Yeah but will it alert you if you if you have a MIG-29 on your Six?
LMFAO
Mine does , ha
Buying this.
But im gonna out black paint over the HUD symbol.
That's a good idea.
👍
Hey jst wanted to reach out to say that I had went and bought the HUD for my 2015 C300 because I had seen this video and thought it was cool so I went and made my purchase with the link you provided below and I got the product but wasn't the one you show on this video. but the problem is that I never could get it to work. when connected it stays on the Km/H and I tried to make it switch to MPH but cant seem to figure out how to do that. as mentioned its not the same model you have. I got the H190 HUD. I reached out to DMP to make a return or to get help with it but never got a response so I wanted to reach out to you see if you can help? much appreciated thanks!
just had the same problem, did you ever figure out how to switch it from KPH to MPH
I ordered one and it worked for 3 days but stopped working now with giving some beep errors and all.
Hi, can you change that yellow collor of youre car speedometer?
Audio System I think that was exclusive to 2012 models
Did the hud can be installed on w203 c230 year 2006
Really sorry if this is a stupid question man but is this available yet for different cars that you know of 🙏🏾? I own a Camaro.
It’s universal for any car with a OBD2 port.
Hey just saw your video - is this only for Benz or will it work with BMW - i have a 2022 x4 on order and finding out now that might not get HUD due to shortage.
It’s universal as long as your car has an OBD2 port which most modern cars do.
So will a windows cleaner hurt that film when you're cleaning your car?
Does anyone know how to change the H190 Model from DMP from KPH to MPH, thanks
Works great! Easy install... Any tips on hiding/running the wires? Trying to place mine in the same location but the cord is extremely long :( I have a 2016 GLC300 4matic, btw.
I’m having the same problem but with a 2011 C300 4Matic :/
Actually, I figured it out! You just have to take out the trim piece when you open your door that’s on the left, it looks pretty big but if you pull hard enough you should be able to just have it pop off and then you just hide the wires inside before popping it back in. I recommend tucking the wires along the velvet door seal which is done easily by just pulling a little and using that to see the trim piece you need to pull back.
@@SpookySauceFilms do you guys know how to change it from KPH to MPH
That steering wheel deserves more than a cheap cover
Aye bro I jus ordered this thing but didn’t see what it fits will it fit my clk320 benzo ??
Does it always need to be plugged into the ODB Port?
If you want to use it, yes
Is there maybe a wireless and thiner option cause it does not look so great with wire visible and thick box on the dash .. kind a
Probably. This video is 4 years ago. Pretty sure there newer tech.
Mines cost nothing I use app called speed watch and use my iPhone I have it set up just like yours without the wires I’m from Scotland name is Ronnie
i drive the same way man, steering low
Would this gadget work for a 2018 Honda Accord sports?
I have the Ambient light kit, how can I set it up to use both, I really want this mod but I’m not giving up my lights lol
The cable for the aftermarket ambient kit that plugs into the OBD2 port, has an expansion port on the cable so you can still plug in other OBD2 devices.
@@TheFlexxGarage oh wow thats great thanks for the reply
I have the mercedes me module plugged into my obd port…any other options?
there is a double port option
Is the HUD works with older model 2003 E500?
Of course it does ;-)
bro is there any way to get the latest navigation update for 2019 free of charge. I have a GLA 180 and there is an SD Card in the slot. I prefer android auto and apple air play. Just wanted to know if the SD Card update is free. These guys charge for each and every thing its 39 EUROS for their SD Card on Amazon.
honest review does your GLA have the touch screen display? Cause if it has the non-touch/ COMAND entertainment system you can’t get car play I believe. I have a 2019 GLC coupe 300 and for some reason the regular GLC has it but not the coupe 🤦🏻♂️
Is this just for your car’s make or could I install this on a 2028 Toyota Tundra?
Not sure. I know they are universal for cars with an OBD2 port.
Are you from the future? Cause 2028 Toyota’s should have it built in already.
@@TheFlexxGarage lol. If I was, I wouldn’t need this mod. Good video.
If you unplug it for checking a check engine like, will the HUB settings stay the same when you plug it back in?
doubt it
Hopefully it has non volition flash memory so it all stays stored in memory
Do you have any videos of how to disconnect the battery? I have a 2017 C300
Go watch my other videos. There’s a few videos where I had to disconnect the battery before working on the engine or any electrical install.
It looks cool but that clear film would irritate me.
I had one and the film irritated me so much I preferred to use it without and a bit blurry instead!
Lyall what if your windshield was tinted?
Hey.. Can we use this on Lexus models or Toyota models? 🤔
RC350_joe a little late, but it’s OBD-II it functions with, but if your car has OBD-II, 2006 and later Toyota lexus models I believe, it should work with your vehicle
So that android screen? Can install in 2013 e350 blutec
Yes
What model or what did your HUD look like when it arrived, was it the same as Flexx or different??? Thanks
Hallo,please how can install rear camera Mercedes Benz w204.combi.2011 thank you
Does the unit drain any battery once the car is off? I heard that some OBD2 unit will continue to drain the car's battery when the car is off.
You may easily unplug it for the port.
That wasn’t the question though... it’s kind of annoying having to unplug and replug every single time you drive...
@hoanglidunguyen I contacted DMP directly with this question and they said that the OBD HUD doesn’t drain the battery of the car when it’s shut off.
can install it on a Honda accord
hi i have an mercedes c200 w205 i want louder exhaust can you recomand me some websites where i can find the complete exhaust?
LoL, you can navigate CZcams but can't use Google?
does it work on 2007 BMW 328i ?
Yeah if you have an OBD2 connector
Is this work with Mercedes Benz w124
No, all W124 are pre OBD-II (production ended 1995)
can these be done in 08 cars ?
Yes
Is this product universal or is it just for foreign cars?
Universal as long has it as a OBD2 port which most cars have
does it look the same from a passengers POV?
no
E250 ? 2012 model ie w212 ?
yes
How u stick the film temporary??
He probably peeled the adhesive backing on the edge of it only then after he found the spot he removed the rest of it
Looks bad. You can see the black device on yout screen.
5 years old reply, but I just wanted to make sure and say that, the OBD port should be used only for diagnostic purpose, it is not made to deliver constant power anytime the vehicle is on.
Thanks but I’ve had that on my car for years with no issues. And then on my w205 Benz, I have my aftermarket ambient kit plugged into my OBD2 port at all times for 5 years with zero issues. Pretty sure manufacturers know what they are doing when they design their ports so it’s not so sensitive. They know aftermarket parts will be plugged into it since there’s so many parts on the market that continuously uses the OBD2. (And I’m not talking quick plug in readers or tunes).
if you have a car with auto stop shut off don't bother getting. it won't stay on
does this only work for mercedes? or can i put this on my 2007 ford taurus? 😂
As long as it has an OBD-II port I don't see why it won't work
Any car
Not sure I like this
Sorry, looks like a silly add-on.
😂
Cool to have but this one is just too ugly. And nowadays most European car have it as option, even cheaper brand like Peugeot or Opel.
