Default Anyone using a GPS or OBD heads up display?

I'd like to see some pictures of how it looks in a Z, both the installation and the display itself. Is the refresh rate on them different enough to matter?

And yes, I did a search, but got nothing that looked useful.

np, can do.
Dont buy the cheapie ebay versions. I just did for my Chrysler and sent it abck.. its hella slow and looks lame.

DEFI VSD BASIS OR NONE.
Yes the obd2 types refresh sucked IMHO.. the defi is hardwired near my AC controls.


mine is flushed under the dash tho, but hey, you said you wanted pics.. youre getting pics lol.
its the little tiny square missing in the suede to the left of my instruments on the dash.



you can see that i dont use the tint strip that gets rid of the refraction, but its useless anyways.. serves it purpose even in sunlight without it.. id like to note that I have used this item in my 2 cars now over the time span of over a decade.. this part is OOOOOOLD and has never failed once.

its extremely handy as Im tall and like my steering wheel down and not up, so this creates a complete inability to see the speedo.. and also requires looking away from the road.. not what you want to do when driving near a cop in a car thats super responsive and can swerve slightly while doing so.

Thanks. I can see the slight ghost image from not using the tinted strip, but the installation you did looks first rate. Spare no effort.

Anyone else?

pic previous to the interior upgrades..... this is still the item you want to try to find and use and leave your obd2 port free.

I had no idea this was even possible to do aftermarket. Is there a write up or anything? I want this. No, I think I need this.
