sadly, nope.Will it work with Waze?
Does it work with the OVMS connected to the OBD2 port at the same time?
OVMS plugs into the DIAG port. These things plug into the OBDII port. Problem is that the OBDII port on the roadster is non-functional - just power and TPMS diagnostics, nothing else.
Good news is that OVMS v3 is gonna include an OBDII ECU simulator. It will offer a OBDII port that supports OBDII dongles, HUDs, etc. The OVMS v3 talks to the car using that DIAG port, and then exposes a standard OBDII female port with an OBDII ECU simulated for things like speed, fuel consumption, etc. That should allow these things to work really well in the roadster.
I've got a speedometer app for my iPhone that does the same thing. Is this a dedicated device?

The navdy somehow gets speed and G forces from the obvii port. Everything else works via Bluetooth from a phone connected. Works the way it should if you read through their site etc. no trade offs for it being a roadster vs any other car other than the gas monitoring not working
I don't think so. Nobody has ever found anything on that roadster OBDII port of any substance. Certainly no OBDII ECU that would respond to standard PID requests.
Are you sure it is not using an internal accelerometer and GPS? Perhaps try it in a long tunnel and vary your speed? Or cover it in tin-foil ;-)
Those GPS huds are ok, but where I live (Hong Kong) it is all tunnels and overpasses so they mostly show the wrong speed.
If you leave your phone at home and go for a drive you might learn what comes from your phone.You might consider the possibility that the HUD unit is only getting power from the OBD and is getting ALL the data from your phone.
