A performance build produces more information than the factory dashboard usually shows. Engine temperatures, boost pressure, and other operating values can become useful parts of understanding the vehicle, especially as its hardware and calibration change.

CANchecked brings supported vehicle data into configurable displays that can become part of the interior. From a compact OLED gauge to a larger touchscreen, the range offers different ways to organize the information you want to see.

At Extreme Power House, CANchecked listings include vehicle-specific installations for BMW, Audi, Volkswagen, MINI, and Mazda, alongside universal displays for custom projects. The starting point is deciding which information matters to your build and how you want it presented.

Choose the Information Before the Screen

Before comparing display sizes, think about what you want to monitor.

For a turbocharged project, boost pressure and available temperature readings may be priorities. A build with additional sensors may need compatible inputs. An owner who wants to review information afterward may put data logging higher on the list.

CANchecked’s universal MFD15 Gen2 listing describes CAN bus and OBD2 communication, configurable layouts, and six analog inputs for compatible external sensors. Available readings depend on the vehicle, ECU, and configuration.

That distinction helps define the purchase. A display organizes information it can access; the exact vehicle integration and installed sensors determine which values are available. Establish those requirements early, then compare the displays that support your plan.

MFD15 Gen2: A Compact Place for Useful Data

The MFD15 Gen2 offers a 1.5-inch OLED screen in a standard 52mm gauge format.

XPH’s universal version, CC01003, includes an OBD connection cable and additional wiring components. Its listed features include built-in Wi-Fi, configurable display pages, sensor alarms, and an LED that can serve as a warning indicator or shift light.

For an owner planning a custom installation, the compact format provides options for a suitable gauge pod or dashboard location. Think about readability and access to the controls when choosing the mounting position.

The MFD15 is worth exploring when you want a small display with configurable information. Match the communication requirements and mounting arrangement to the vehicle before completing the installation plan.

BMW F-Series: Integrate the Display Into the Interior

For supported BMW F8X, F3X, and F2X applications, XPH lists the CANchecked MFD28 Gen2 under part number CC34064.

The 2.8-inch display uses a vehicle-specific trim panel and wiring harness. Its description emphasizes integration into the dashboard while maintaining factory ventilation functionality.

That makes it an appealing route for an owner who wants additional information within a coordinated interior. The installation becomes part of the dashboard layout, with the display configured around the readings most relevant to the car.

The listing also describes downloadable logs for later review. For a modified BMW project, that adds another use beyond the live screen: recorded information that can be examined after a drive or session. Confirm the exact vehicle support and available channels for your configuration.

Audi B8 and 8T: A Vehicle-Specific Touchscreen

Audi owners can explore the CANchecked MFD28 Gen2 for supported B8 A4/S4 and 8T A5/S5 applications.

Listed at XPH as CC31044, this left-hand-drive version uses the factory air-vent location for its vehicle-specific installation. The 2.8-inch capacitive touchscreen supports customizable pages, widgets, colors, and graphics.

For an Audi interior, that offers a way to bring additional vehicle information into a dedicated display while keeping the installation visually integrated.

Start with a straightforward page containing the values you expect to use most. Additional pages can organize other supported readings or functions. The listing also identifies external sensor support, giving owners a path to investigate expanded monitoring as the project develops.

Volkswagen Golf Mk8: Keep the Display Compact

XPH lists the CANchecked MFD15 Gen2 for supported left-hand-drive Golf Mk8 applications under part number CC52000.

This version combines the compact OLED display with a vehicle-specific bezel. Its features include CAN bus and OBD2 integration, Wi-Fi connectivity, configurable layouts, and analog sensor inputs.

For a Golf owner, the dedicated installation is a useful part of the package. Compare the mounting location, display size, and available vehicle data together.

The result should be a page layout that is easy to understand. Give the readings you care about the most space, and configure additional functions around how you intend to use the display.

MINI R-Series: Compare Two Display Approaches

The CANchecked range at XPH includes both MFD15 and MFD28 Gen2 options for supported MINI R-Series applications.

The MFD15 dashboard-install version, CC54002, includes a vehicle-specific bezel and connection cable. It offers a compact OLED screen with configurable layouts and an LED warning or shift-light function.

The R5X MFD28 listing provides a 2.8-inch touchscreen installed through a vehicle-specific ventilation insert. Its applications include supported R55 Clubman, R56/R57 Cooper, and R58/R59 Coupe and Roadster models, with left- and right-hand-drive support identified.

For a MINI owner, those are two distinct installation approaches to compare. Consider the available space, preferred mounting location, and how much information you want visible on one page.

Mazda MX-5 ND: Add Information With a Dedicated Fit

The Mazda MX-5 ND also has a vehicle-specific MFD15 Gen2 listing at XPH.

Part number CC53040 combines the 1.5-inch OLED display with an ND-specific mounting bezel and OBD connection harness for supported left-hand-drive applications. The product description identifies CAN bus communication, OBD2 data access, analog inputs, and Wi-Fi connectivity.

For an MX-5 project, the dedicated mounting hardware gives owners a defined starting point. Review the supported readings for the exact vehicle, then build a compact layout around the information you want readily available.

Universal MFD32S: Plan a Larger Custom Installation

For a custom dashboard project, the universal MFD32S Gen2 offers a 3.2-inch capacitive touchscreen and an integrated shift light.

XPH’s CC03002 listing describes configurable shift-light colors and RPM thresholds, four analog inputs, internal SD-card logging, and customizable display pages. The housing supports vertical or horizontal installation.

Those features give builders several decisions to make together: mounting position, screen orientation, wiring, sensor requirements, and page design.

A universal display needs an installation plan suited to the vehicle. Confirm the communication protocol and available data, then coordinate the wiring and mounting with the person carrying out the work.

Find Your CANchecked Display at XPH

The right display begins with a clear purpose. Identify the information you want, confirm how it will be obtained, and choose a screen and mounting arrangement that suit the interior.

Vehicle-specific kits provide a defined integration route. Universal units offer flexibility for custom installations. In either case, check the exact application, included harnesses, and sensor requirements before ordering.
