Codebreaker Heads Up Display: A Car Accessory You Can Trust for Optimised Safety

Safety-oriented heads up displays (HUDs) are some of the most exciting and fastest evolving automotive technologies around. What sets HUDs apart from an ever-growing list of immersive driver assisted systems, however, is that a vehicle doesn’t have to be manufactured with one to be outfitted with one.

Dash-mounted aftermarket HUDs don’t require the sensors, cameras, or complex digital integration that Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) typically rely on. In fact, modern aftermarket HUDs don’t even need to be connected to the vehicle they’re installed in. It’s an indication of just how uncompromisingly precise these systems are without the costly, factory-option only price tag.

Australians Trust Codebreaker HUDs For Optimised Safety

Whether it’s their feature-richness, compact size, or undeviating accuracy, aftermarket HUDs like Ultimate9’s family of Codebreaker automotive heads up display modules are among the most capable and efficient devices of their kind anywhere. These Australian engineered HUDs are as recognised for their real-time reliability as they are for their portability and easy setup. 

And their ability to add the latest in eyes-on-the-road benefit (ERB) technology to vehicles of any age is an advantage that anyone who uses public roads can make the most of. Codebreaker heads up displays are designed to project a combination of OBD/OBD2, as well as GPS-related data for a full range of dashboard indicator and function readings, including:

• 50-150km/h speedometer and accelerometer readings, accurate to within a 3–6km/h threshold;
• Real-time engine coolant temperature and battery voltage readings;
• Adjustable over-speed, high coolant temperature, and abnormal voltage alarms;
• A multi-direction compass that refreshes anytime the vehicle exceeds 5km/h; and,
• 150km/h over-speed alarm, and a 4-hour-fatigued driving reminder.

Unlike factory-installed heads up display units that are capable of overloading drivers with an excess of unnecessary data, Codebreaker HUDs are designed to provide only the data that’s relevant to a vehicle’s performance. Allowing text messages, navigation maps, or any other non-essential data to be displayed on the windscreen can be a dangerous distraction. That’s why when it comes to optimised safety, drivers trust Codebreaker automotive heads up displays to stick to the basics.

Three Codebreaker Models For All Contingencies

Ultimate9 builds three variations of their award-winning Codebreaker vehicle HUD display unit, among which:

• The wireless OBD HUD Speedometer. These head up display systems utilise the plug and play convenience of a wireless transmitter attached to the OBD port to send dashboard information to a lithium powered speedometer that can be placed anywhere.
• The multi-functional OBD2 HUD. Codebreaker’s full-featured OBD2 HUD for cars connects directly to the OBD2 port, and is designed to project a range of dashboard and engine performance data onto a reflective film that adheres to the windscreen.
• The connection-free GPS HUD. Although Codebreaker GPS head up displays need to be hardwired to a 12-36V power source, they rely exclusively on the pinpoint accuracy of navigation satellites for GPS-calculated speed, speed alarm, and direction of travel information.

With their broad fields of view and adjustable brightness, these premium quality head up displays for cars boast their own unique set of attributes. What they all have in common, however, is uncompromised accuracy and flawless functionality when it comes to helping drivers with the following:

• Keeping their attention focused on the road;
• Avoiding the tendency to lane drift when looking away from the road;
• Eliminating the difficulty of refocusing when switching between looking at the dashboard and the road;
• Observing critical engine performance data without taking eyes off the highway; and,
• Avoiding costly penalties and points as a result of exceeding the speed limit.

Regardless of whether a driver prefers having data displayed above or below eye level, or to the left or the right of the steering wheel, a Codebreaker automotive heads up display unit allows them to avoid looking away from the road, even for a split-second. And the Codebreaker’s own low profile and compact size helps prevent it from becoming a dash-mounted distraction itself.

High-Quality Codebreaker Construction That’s Built to Last

It’s impossible to discuss the benefits of a heads up display for automobiles without acknowledging how crucial miniaturisation is to their construction. The design limitations of most aftermarket HUD manufacturers means that a lot of displays are too large to be mounted on a dashboard without partially obscuring the view of the road. This is where the Codebreaker’s compact size makes a big impact.

Codebreaker’s OBD2 and GPS HUDs measure 86mm x 37mm x 16mm, while their ultra-compact OBD HUD Speedometer tips in at only 50mm x 50mm x 50mm. Their smaller size means they’re less of a distraction, while also benefiting from a host of superior construction attributes that include:

• UV-resistant, ABS bodies that are capable of withstanding dash-mounted temperatures up to 80°C;
• A choice of white and red, or green backlight colours; and,
• Low glare manual, or automatic brightness adjustment sensors.

Ultimately, drivers can count on a Codebreaker automotive HUD to fit atop any dashboard. No other aftermarket HUD offers the technical edge and the tailorable attributes that are so perfectly suited for to vehicle.

The Final Word

At the end of the day, HUDs aren’t just high-end driver assistance options. They’re essential safety accessories that can be fitted to any car, ute, or RV, even if it isn’t equipped with OBD2 functionality.

Whether it’s inattentive motorists, unpredictable wildlife, or any of a long list of hazards that can materialise the moment a driver looks away from the road, Codebreaker automotive display modules are instrumental in ensuring that eyes are on the road at all times. They’re the modern safety feature that no driver can afford to do without.
