# PD-Display Quick Start

Set up PD-Display quickly.

Set up PD-Display and view your vehicle data.

{% hint style="info" %}
This guide follows the PD-Display v1.0 setup flow. Keep your engine running during firmware updates, and have Wi‑Fi or a hotspot ready (downloads usually take 5–10 minutes).
{% endhint %}

### Install PD-1 and PD-Display

1. Plug **PD-1** into your vehicle’s OBD‑II port.
2. Wait for the **green flashing light** (Bluetooth ready).
3. Mount **PD-Display** on the windshield or dashboard.
4. Connect the Type‑C cable from PD-1 to PD-Display.
5. Start the engine to power both devices.

{% hint style="info" %}
PD-Display is powered from the OBD port through PD-1. You do not need a cigarette-lighter adapter.
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}

### Update PD-Display

On the display: **Settings → About → Version number** → connect to Wi‑Fi → tap **Update**.

4. Add your vehicle (plate, brand, model, energy type, year). VIN can be auto-detected or entered manually.
5. If you see **Hardware Upgrade Detected**, tap **Upgrade Now** and wait until 100%. Keep the engine running and the app open.
   {% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Connect PD-Display

1. In the app, open the **PD-Display** tab → **Connect Display**.
2. Tap **Scan Basic Live Data** → **Start**.
3. On the display, confirm binding your vehicle.
4. Keep **Initialize basic live data** checked and **untick Initialize OEM live data**.
5. Connect the display to Wi‑Fi / hotspot, verify the VIN, and download the data package.
   {% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Customise your dashboard

1. In the app under **PD-Display**, open **Dashboard** and choose a template.
2. Long-press and drag widgets to rearrange them (the display updates live).
3. Edit a widget to change its sensor, then tap **Save**.

You’re ready to drive with live gauges on PD-Display.
{% endstep %}

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://help.pd1.sg/getting-started/pd-display-quick-start.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
