CANchecked MFD28 Gen2 Programmable Touch Screen CanBus Display for BMW 2/3/4-Series/M2/M3/M4 (F2X/F3X/F8X)

Your BMW is missing a data display! We have the CANchecked display for BMW F-Series including M2 M3 M4 (F21, F22, F23, F30, F31, F80, F82, F83 and F87)... Of course also fits the M models (M2, M3, M4). 

The CANchecked display has access to all engine data. The sensors are queried directly via Can Bus and are displayed on our proven MFD28. The display for the BMW F-Series comes with a vehicle-specific cover and fits into the interior like an original part. This means that the ventilation through the slots remains intact. Our display emulates a manufacturer tester so all detailed values ??are available. We have optimized the protocol to achieve maximum query speed.

The CANchecked MFD28 is a 2.8" touch screen display which allows you to monitor a huge amount of information from your car's computer. The MFD28 is a CANbus compatible device which is able to read information from most 2008-onwards vehicles by simply plugging into your vehicles OBDII port. CANbus is currently how newer vehicles send and receive data. Think of it as a USB port on a computer; whatever is plugged into a USB port can be opened and accessed from your computer. If your CANbus ECU has sensors plugged in, then in most cases plugging a CANchecked display will read it* (*see below for more information). Don't have a CANbus ECU in your car? No problem! The MFD28 can accept 4 additional analogue inputs including Flex Fuel sensors directly to the gauge. No ECA module required.

The MFD28 however is more than just a gauge. It is also a data logging tool, a CAN sensor hub, a CAN control switch, a shift light and a warning light! Read below for a full list of features. The MFD28 is a compact device and can used in both landscape and portrait orientations which you can then design in the DSS display setup software on your PC or Laptop. The MFD28 can be configured easily to display certain ECU values with a range of pre-made screen designs.

The CANchecked MFD28 is one of the best ways to monitor and enjoy your vehicle.

Vehicle Specific Functions

• Performance meters: Measure your acceleration times in our performance widget - 0-100, 100-200, 0-200
• Data logging: Log all data onto the internal SD card. No matter whether “on-demand” (start at the touch of a finger) or permanently. All data from your last turn is saved.
• Preset alarms: Ready-made warnings can be easily activated and customized. For example, I get a big warning message when the exhaust gas temperature is over 900 degrees.
• 4 additional analog inputs: Additional temperature and/or pressure sensors can be connected for further monitoring options. e.g. exhaust gas temperature or exhaust back pressure. An ethanol sensor can be connected to one of the digital inputs.
• Read/delete errors: Read errors from the engine control unit in plain text and delete them
• Individual design: No matter whether the individual home screen or the selection from a variety of different widgets. Make the display your ad!

Switch pages with the cruise control button

To make driving safer, we have integrated the cruise control switch here with the company Lightweight-Performance. If the cruise control is not active, you can use the up/down button to scroll through the views on the display. This has the following advantages

• No “searching” for the display while concentrating on the road
• Switching even with gloves (on track days)
• Quickly and safely check overview pages and then return to the main view

Driver Dynamics

We have developed a special view for all track riders who want to further improve their driving style and become a second or two faster

• G forces (lateral and longitudinal acceleration)
• Vehicle speed
• Steering angle
• Accelerator pedal position
• Brake pressure

This sensor technology gives the driver the opportunity to aim for even higher speeds in curves and to hit the braking point even later. Together with the data log in the internal memory, which can be downloaded from the display after a track day, this offers a great way to synchronize the data with a video.
 

Access to all data from the engine control unit

As standard, we supply your display with a ready-made TRI file. All sensors that are queried are defined here.

• Temperatures: Engine water temperature, oil temperature, intake temperature, exhaust gas temperature, transmission temperature
• Pressures: Boost pressure, target boost pressure, high pressure pump fuel pressure, exhaust back pressure, low pressure, brake pressure, oil pressure
• Lambda/mixture: Lambda value target/actual, injection correction, short-term lambda adjustment, total ignition angle
• Miscellaneous: Speed, air mass (g/s), vehicle speed, throttle valve angle, battery voltage, gear, accelerator pedal position, longitudinal and lateral acceleration, steering angle, yaw angle, torque, power, control of the charge pressure control valve,

If values ??are missing, they can be added easily. It always depends on the motor as to whether it supports the values; sometimes not all sensors are available.

!! Not all values ??are available for all engines!!
 

Reading and deleting errors

With a “swipe” down you get access to the “DTC” (Diagnostic Trouble Codes). The display reads the error memory from the engine. Optionally, you can also delete these directly on the display. Engine errors are displayed in plain text, so you can decide for yourself whether you can continue driving.

Optional Shift Light

The shift light module can be easily pinned to both the MFD28 and MFD32 touch screen displays. Thanks to the simple and individual configuration, it can be individually adapted to your personal wishes and the engine. All colors and respective speeds of the LEDs are completely adjustable. The shift light is already known from motorsport! For example, in Formula 1 it is integrated directly into the steering wheel. Different colored LEDs show the current speed and flash to signal the optimal switching time.

CANchecked took up this concept and designed its own shift light module. The connection is made via an approx. 50cm long cable to the display at the provided three-pin interface.
