FAQs
Q: How do I reset the PYLE PHUD19 to factory settings?
Simultaneously press the up and down buttons (or select the reset option from the settings menu). All of the device’s default settings will be restored upon restarting.
Q: Can I use the PHUD19 without the OBD-II port (e.g., in older cars)?
No, in order to get data from your car’s ECU, the PHUD19 needs an active OBD-II connection. PYLE provides GPS-based HUD models for older cars that don’t use OBD data.
Q: How do I update the firmware on my HUD?
The PHUD19 does not currently enable firmware updates using an app or USB. Every function comes pre-installed and calibrated.
Q: The display keeps turning off after a few minutes—why?
When the engine stops, some cars cut the OBD-II power. In order to avoid battery depletion, this is a standard auto power-off feature. Check your car’s OBD settings or try another OBD port (if available) if the display goes off while you’re driving.
Q: Can I adjust the brightness manually?
Indeed. Find the brightness control option in the settings menu. For your chosen visibility, you can alternate between manual and automated (light sensor) settings.
Q: Does the PHUD19 automatically turn on and off?
Indeed. When you start your car, the HUD turns on automatically, and when you turn off the ignition, it turns off. To save battery consumption, you can manually turn it off using the power button if it’s still on after turning off your car.
Q: Is the PHUD19 waterproof or weather-resistant?
It’s not true that the PYLE PHUD19 is waterproof. It is intended exclusively for indoor usage and should not be subjected to prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or heavy dampness.
