Glancing at your speedo takes ~1 second of eyes-off-road — 14 meters blind at 50km/h. A HUD puts speed in your sightline. But is a €40 one good?
What budget HUDs do well
- GPS speed readout visible day/night (auto-dimming)
- Overspeed alarms you configure
- OBD2 models add RPM, coolant temp, and fault codes
What to expect
Projection models reflect on a film or combiner — crisp at night, decent by day. Simple displays sit on the dash. Neither matches a €2000 factory HUD — but at 2% of the price, they solve the actual problem.
