OBD socket

If I got a heads up display for the windscreen, some talk of plugging into the cars obd2 system. Is this ok, and where is it ?
Anyone got a hud in a d3. What’s a good one.

It’s accessible under the steering wheel. If the dongle is large you’ll end up kicking it eventually. Like when driving with an IID BT connected Mr. Green

Sorry, no idea about what is a good aftermarket HUD.

Had one the same as the Halfrauds one it worked via the OBD port as it should,
But

That optional feature pack also gauges distance to the curb and other vehicles, gives instant feedback on how you park and drive in general, etc. Mr. Green

It will when others won't,
It goes where others don't.
