TESTED: Can OBD-II PORT SPLITTER CABLE RUN TWO DEVICES?

I wanted to put multiple HUDS and OBD-II scanners on my car so I can monitor my cars data. I recently bought a ACECAR M-12 ( https://amzn.to/3dLFRcS ) and ACECAR M-07 ( https://amzn.to/3d6SuQO ) Heads Up Display units for my Honda. I wanted to try to see if I can have multiple OBD-II devices ON a the same time, so I got a OBD-II splitter cable: https://amzn.to/3mPd0Zu

Apparently, the OBD-II splitter cable: https://amzn.to/3mPd0Zu only talks to one OBD-II device at once. So of the two HUD devices only one received data, while the other only received power. This is good to know if you want multple OBD-II devices powered, however bad if you needed the car data.

REVIEW: COSTCO Seagate 5 TB Portable Backup Plus – One Touch – Hard Drive $89 (Normally $124)

I got a Seagate 5 TB Portable Backup Plus – One Touch – Hard Drive (https://amzn.to/2OMEC4S ) for $89 . Its normally $124. Costco also had other Seagate external hard drives on sale such as the Seagate 8TB Backup Plus Hub External Desktop Hard Drive ( https://amzn.to/2OGva2K ) for $139, and the Seagate 2 TB Ultra Touch ( https://amzn.to/3tcQtYJ ) for $74.

I needed to clear out hard drive space on my MSI GE75 Gaming laptop ( https://amzn.to/326XfDJ ) that i use for video editing. I normally carry a Crucial 1 TB SSD drive ( https://amzn.to/327rABM ) to quickly transport and backup video and footage to and from my laptop.

The Crucial X6 SSD ( https://amzn.to/327rABM ) transfers about 500 megabytes a second. However, for longer term backups of footage, using a traditional mechanical external hard drive is more cost effective. SSD drives transfers 5 times faster than traditional drives but costs at least 5 times as much has of this 2021. The cost is the reason why I also have a portable mechanical hard drive.

I have a few Seagate One Touch USB 3.0 ( https://amzn.to/2OMEC4S ) external portable hard drives to backup my laptop. In the video it transfers at about 100 megabytes a second which is fast for a mechanical hard drive. So my typical 300 megabyte video clips and footage takes about 3 seconds to backup. So it is worth it to carry both SSD and HDD when working remotely from home.

This drive is very portable and has a single USB 3,0 cable to transfer data and power the drive. The case is lightweight and made of plastic. Since it is a traditional mechanical drive, you need to be careful not to place it next to magnetic fields.

This is why i only bring my SSD drive with me when traveling away from home or office. Crucial X6 SSD ( https://amzn.to/327rABM ) is not magnetic and has no moving parts. I usually keep my Seagate portable drives at the office or work site only.

REVIEW & DIY : Heads Up Display (HUD) – M07 for my Honda

I always wanted a HUD so I dont need to look down at for speed. I recently bought a ACECAR M-12 ( https://amzn.to/3dLFRcS ) and ACECAR M-07 ( https://amzn.to/3d6SuQO ) Heads Up Display units for my Honda. This video reviews the ACECAR M7.

The main differences between the M7 to the M12 is the size of units, and the amount of data presented. If you want just 2 lines of date and very large font size, the AceCar M7 ( https://amzn.to/3d6SuQO ) HUD has the larger font size to project onto the windshield. However, it only has 2 lines of data you can choose. Its also smaller than the M12 ( https://amzn.to/3dLFRcS ) unit which makes it easier to place on your dash board. The M12 has 3 main data displays, with smaller fonts and different colors display. It may be too difficult to read. The size is slightly larger.

Its large numbers is very visible at day and night time. Installing is very easy with either connection to the cars OBD2 port or it can run with GPS mode in which all it needs is a USB power. The unit is plug and play but needs to be configured for metric and English measurements. If connected to the OBD2 it will drain my 12 volt battery, thats why i prefer the USB power so it turns off when my car is off.

Overall it is pretty accurate and is able to read speed, distance, engine temperature, RPM, and other information when connected to the OBD2 port. With the GPS mode you can display direction, speed.

Update on my steering wheel cover and TPMS system. Its been over 2 years with my SHIAWASENA Steering wheel cover $16 ( https://amzn.to/2XsIEP6 ) which had a smooth surface and patterned with red stitching. It still in good condition and has not cracked yet. Tire Pressure Monitor TPMS ( https://amzn.to/2ncBVf6 )still works after 1.5 years . I cost about $30. The sensors need new CR1616 batteries every 6 months but the solar powered main unit works well.
