The ultimate head-up display from Neo Tokyo! Simply by connecting to your smartphone, you can easily operate map apps such as Google Maps, music, phone calls, etc. with voice and remote control. The display screen is overlaid on the driving field of view, so you can check various information without taking your eyes off the road. With FM transmitter, even old cars can play smartphone music from FM car audio.
Just plug it into the cigar socket! You can use it in any car model.
Aren't car navigation systems really hard to use? Once you get used to using your smartphone, even setting destinations can be a hassle and difficult to understand. The accuracy of the voice input is also poor, and sometimes it comes out outrageous. . .
With the HUD-2020, you can use your familiar smartphone map as a car navigation system! You can use not only Apple genuine maps, but also Google Maps, as well as third-party apps such as Yahoo! car navigation and car navigation time. Since it is a smartphone map, unlike car navigation systems, you will not be charged for data updates. The latest information, such as new roads and shops that have just been built, is available at your fingertips. Route guidance is displayed overlaid in the driver's field of view, so you can safely check your route while keeping your eyes on the road.
To set the destination, just give instructions with a smartphone voice assistant such as Siri or Google Assistant. It hears the instructions much more accurately than the voice input of the car navigation system.
I want to listen to music on my smartphone while driving! As we all know, it wasn't that easy. My car is old and doesn't have a voice input terminal, and I can't use my smartphone while driving, so I'm in this mood, in this scene, that song! Even if you think, you can't put it out.
HUD-2020 is super easy. It comes with an FM transmitter, so even older cars can easily listen to smartphone music from FM car audio. Of course, wired connection with the audio input terminal of car audio is also possible. If you instruct a voice assistant such as Siri to "play 〇〇", you can select a song at once. You don't have to worry about choosing an artist name from a huge list, choosing a song title, and so on. You can also check the name of the song being played on the HUD screen without taking your eyes off the road.
You can also listen to music subscription services such as Apple Music and Spotify, so your music library is truly endless. You can play music that matches any situation, landscape, or mood.
What is an FM transmitter?
Like a small FM radio station, this function uses FM radio waves to play music. You can listen to music on your smartphone as an FM radio by receiving it on your car audio FM radio. With this unit, the outgoing FM frequency can be set arbitrarily. The emitted radio waves are very weak within the range permitted by law, so they will not be heard by surrounding cars. (If you want more stable high-quality sound, you can also use a wired connection using the audio output terminal.)
We call a lot less these days, but it's still necessary from time to time. We often want to confirm the location over the phone, especially when picking up someone by car. HUD-2020 makes it easy. You can make a call immediately by instructing a voice assistant such as Siri to say "Call ○○". There is no need to search for the number of the other party from the list one by one. Hands-free calling can be easily achieved. However, a phone call while driving is distracting, even hands-free. If you want to make a phone call, stop as much as possible.
Complex operations such as maps, music, and phone calls. Doing these things by hand while driving is extremely dangerous and illegal in the first place.
With the HUD-2020, you can easily perform these operations simply by giving voice instructions to the voice assistant of your smartphone such as Siri. In addition, it is equipped with a remote control for cases where it is difficult to give instructions by voice or if the user cannot hear it well. Since it can be easily attached to the steering wheel with a band, it can be operated without releasing the steering wheel. Of course, calling the voice assistant is also one shot with the button on the remote control.
HUD-2020 supports both iPhone and Android*. Both smartphones are automatically recognized by simply connecting a cable to the HUD's USB port. Even if you change your smartphone, you can continue to use the HUD. *Requires a smartphone that supports CarPlay for iPhone and Android Auto for Android. The compatibility status is as follows. (As of July 2019) CarPlay supports the following iPhones.
Android Auto supports the following Android smartphones.
What is Apple CarPlay / Android Auto?
It is a standard established by each OS manufacturer Apple and Google in order to be able to use smartphones properly while driving. The screen layout is optimized for driving, and apps that are considered dangerous cannot be used while driving. For example, videos and games such as Youtube, and SNS applications such as LINE and Facebook cannot be used, so you can concentrate on driving without distractions.
HUD-2020 complies with these standards to ensure proper use of smartphone functions while driving. For details on Apple CarPlay / Android Auto, please check the official information of each OS manufacturer.
Apple CarPlay Android Auto
Please note: The features and apps offered are significantly different between iPhone and Android. In addition, the function itself will be changed from time to time due to OS updates.
The screen uses a newly designed large acrylic screen. The screen is projected from the TFT liquid crystal like a projector, and the overlay is displayed in a semi-transparent state in the driver's field of vision. The projection screen is slightly curved like a concave mirror. This makes the image appear to be further away than it actually is, making it easier to read information on the screen while keeping your eyes focused on the road. The screen is foldable and designed so that it does not get in the way when not in use. The direction and angle of the pedestal can be adjusted, so you can change the direction for easy viewing even after installation.
The main unit is equipped with a light intensity sensor that automatically controls the brightness of the display according to the environment. The display is easy to see in daytime, at night, and in tunnels.
Installation is very easy. Power is supplied from the cigarette lighter socket, so no special work is required. It can be used in any car and can be installed in 1 minute.

Plug your smartphone cable into the USB port of the HUD-2020.
Plug the cable into your smartphone and you're all set! The smartphone is also charged at the same time, so there is no need to worry about running out of battery.

Moji Co., Ltd. Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo CEO: Yoshihiro Sugaya [History] Founded in Tokyo in 2006 2008 Started overseas online store business 2017 Started manufacturing and selling automobile head-up displays In 2017, we started manufacturing and selling the head-up display "HUD Neo Tokyo" series. “HUD Neo Tokyo” has been very popular in crowdfunding and provides drivers with even more fun to drive. Based on our past sales experience, we are familiar with the performance and quality required for automotive head-up displays. In addition, the manufacturing factory of this product has been manufacturing many car accessory products for many years, not limited to head-up displays. Please rest assured. Past crowdfunding results for our head-up display products Neo Tokyo HYB-Z1 (2,933,600 yen, support from 197 people) https://www.makuake.com/project/hudneotokyo03/
Neo Tokyo GPS-W1 (3,972,080 yen, supported by 296 people) https://www.makuake.com/project/hudneotokyo02/
Neo Tokyo OBD-X1 (3,722,600 yen, supported by 277 people) https://www.makuake.com/project/hudneotokyo/
We also had a lot of trouble deciding how much to offer this product. If the functions of the product are integrated as they are, it will be as follows.
・Car navigation (usually 50,000 yen or more, additional cost required for data update) ・CarPlay/Android Auto compatible audio system (usually +100,000 yen or more, often set only for the highest grade)・Head-up display System (usually +100,000 yen or more, often set only for the highest grade) ・FM transmitter (usually from several thousand yen) ・Smartphone car charger (usually from several thousand yen) ・Hands-free phone system (usually from several thousand Yen~)
And in the case of this product, all these features are integrated. Various information can be projected and displayed in the driver's field of view with the head-up display, and can be easily operated by voice and remote control. Few top-end luxury cars can do the same. If you add only the value of these functions, the price of 200,000 yen or more seems reasonable even if you estimate it cheaply. However, we wanted as many people as possible to use this HUD-2020. In practice, it's clearly useful. With the desire to make driving more fun, more convenient and safer, we have set the price below so that this product can be delivered to as many people as possible.

Q. Can I use it in my car? A. As long as you have a cigar socket, you can use any car.
Q. Can I use my smartphone? A. Any smartphone that supports Apple CarPlay or Android Auto can be used. Please check the official information of each OS for the compatibility status of your smartphone with Apple CarPlay / Android Auto. We do not answer about the compatibility status of individual smartphones.
Apple CarPlay Android Auto
Q. Which smartphone do you recommend, iPhone or Android? A. At the moment (July 2019), iPhone Carplay is much more advanced and easier to use than Android Auto. If you have both, we recommend using the iPhone for now. However, Android Auto is getting a major update this fall.
Q. Can I use Bluetooth to connect my smartphone? A. There are many problems with Bluetooth connections such as delays and connection failures.
Q. There are few flat places on the dashboard, but can I install it? A. It can be installed even if it is not completely flat as long as it does not move while driving, as it is simply attached using the installation mat on the bottom. Also, even if it is not in front of the driver's seat, it will be surprisingly visible even if it is placed in the center of the dashboard. The installation mat is not an adhesive type but a reusable material called Nano Suction (it does not melt with heat and become sticky), so please try to find the best position by trial and error.
Q. Can power be supplied from an accessory power supply? A. The included cigar socket plug has a built-in receiver for remote control. Therefore, other power cables cannot be used.
Q. Is there a display function such as vehicle speed and tachometer? A. This product does not. However, it can be used together with our head-up display products such as Neo Tokyo OBD-X1 and GPS-W1.
Q. Is the power on/off automatic? A. Domestic cars have the cigar socket power ON/OFF linked to the engine, so it will be ON/OFF accordingly. However, some imported cars have a cigar socket that is always powered, so it is necessary to turn it on and off with the power switch on the HUD body.
Mikasu, a popular Youtuber, gave us a review of the actual machine! The one you reviewed is a pre-production prototype, and the remote control is the same as the product version. Please take a look. *There are places where the projected display looks much smaller than the screen, but this is because, as mentioned above, the concave screen is designed so that the virtual image is formed farther than it actually is. When installed on the dashboard and viewed from the driver, it looks like it is displayed on the full screen. This mechanism makes it easier to read the information on the screen while keeping the focal length of the eyes on the road.
We also received a review from Mr. K on the car! (8/5 update)
