Codebreaker HUDs: Enhance Safety and Performance with Heads-Up Displays

Have you considered the benefits that installing a head-up display in your car or ute could offer? HUDs (heads up displays) offer the same level of active driver assistance as onboard GPS systems and touchscreen dashboards, but they’re much more than just high-tech talking points: they’re engineered specifically for onboard safety.

HUDs make it possible for drivers to see vital, real-time information about their vehicle’s performance directly on their windscreen, but without taking vital attention off the road. The question, however, is while growing numbers of new cars and trucks offer HUDs as premium features, how do you bring the same eyes-on-the-road benefit (ERB) to early model vehicles? The solution is simple: portable aftermarket HUDs allow drivers to enjoy all the benefits of having heads-up information, without the need for a costly in-dash refit. Not all portables offer the same range of benefits though, and that’s where Ultimate9’s Codebreaker family of HUDs take the lead.

Codebreaker HUDs Give You Accurate Data Without Distractions

From its pocket-sized compactness to its uncompromised accuracy, a digital Codebreaker heads up display for automobiles is one of the best investments you can make in accuracy, safety, and versatility. Like many of today’s portable HUDs, Codebreakers uses satellite-derived data to make their speed, acceleration, and directional calculations; however, they go a step further to deliver the data that really matters when you’re behind the wheel.

In addition to its better-than-industry standard of 3 – 6km/h speed variance, the Codebreaker’s choice of either wireless, or plug-and-play OBD / OBD2 compatibility allows it to harvest a combination of a core dashboard indicator, warning, and function data that includes:

• A 10FPS, 50 – 150km/h speedometer that activates every time your vehicle moves;
• An RPM reading, and over-speed alarm which activates at 150km/h;
• A multi-directional compass that refreshes every time your vehicle exceeds 5km/h;
• Water temperature, and voltage meters with alarms; and,
• A fatigued driving reminder, with a maximum 4-hour drive time.

With their wide array of data features, The Codebreaker family of HUDs sets a standard for portable automotive heads-up displays that go beyond mere convenience. Codebreakers are available in 3 variants: an OBD HUD Speedometer, an OBD2 HUD, and a pure GPS HUD; and all are designed to accurately display heads-up information that drivers need to keep themselves and their vehicles safe, without being overwhelmed with the kind of excess data that, in itself, could become a serious on-road distraction.

Safety-Driven Displays Help HUDs Maximize Performance

While convenience is certainly the most obvious, as well as an appreciable trait of a heads-up display unit, safety ultimately has to be its most important characteristic. The risk of a careless motorist or an inattentive pedestrian crossing your path at the exact moment you look down at the speedometer is the most common reason for wanting a heads-up display, but the sheer range of unpredictable obstacles is practically limitless and can include:

• Unexpected changes in traffic movement or road conditions;
• The unpredictable behavior of wildlife https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35811153/, especially when driving through rural and regional areas; and,
• The possibility of drifting dangerously out of your own lane, or into the breakdown lane.

The fact is, with so many unanticipated events that can happen without warning outside your vehicle, and even distractions that can cause momentary lapses of attention inside it, Codebreaker heads-up displays are the best option when it comes to:

• Staying fully focused on the road about your environment;
• Avoiding penalties and points because of unintentional speeding; and,
• Viewing precise engine performance metrics without relying on difficult-to-decipher gauges.

A Codebreaker head-up display delivers all the above with maximum safety in mind, and the unit’s own minimalist footprint prevents it from becoming a dash-mounted obstacle that could be a distraction for even the most experienced driver.

Codebreakers Specialize in Keeping Safety, Versatile 

Unlike a lot of today’s portable head-up displays, the 86mm x 37mm x 16mm Codebreaker is small enough to fit unnoticed on practically any dashboard, allowing you to place its reflective projection film anywhere you want on the windscreen. Their compact size is an essential part of how versatile they are when it comes to positioning: it’s an advantage that neither OE HUDs nor larger, bulkier portable vehicle HUD display units can offer.

Codebreaker HUDs benefit as much from high-quality construction and materials as they do from superior design, and they’re engineered around an array of durable, UV-resistant build specs that include:

• Premium grade ABS bodies, tested to withstand dashboard temperatures to 80°C;
• A per-variant choice of white and red, or green backlighting colour options; and,
• Manual, or automatic brightness adjustment sensors.

Regardless of whether you prefer your vehicle’s data displayed above or below eye level, or offset to the left, right, or centred, Codebreaker is designed to eliminate the difficulty of refocusing your eyes to adjust to bright, hazy, or outright poor light conditions. No other HUD goes as far as to make versatility safe.

The Final Word

At the end of the day, if you’re contemplating a HUD, you have to be sure that it’s going to deliver all the advantages that you want. From the low glare illumination that you need when driving through the city on rainy evenings, to the precise speed reading that you want when riding on larger-than-stock tyres, only one family of HUDs has all the qualities to satisfy all your requirements.

A Codebreaker digital heads-up display for automobiles offers everything you could ask for in a HUD. And with a model and feature selection that’s unlike any other on the portable HUD market, they have all the benefits that you could possibly want when you’re behind the wheel.
