CAN Bus & Vehicle Data Monitoring
The CANchecked MFD28 Gen2 communicates directly with the vehicle through the CAN bus, allowing supported vehicle information to be displayed in real time.
Available data depends on the vehicle manufacturer, model, model year, installed control units, and software configuration. CANchecked's dedicated vehicle integrations can provide access to data beyond what may be available through standard OBD diagnostics.
The exact parameters and functions available on the Audi B8/8T platform may vary depending on the specific vehicle configuration.
Custom Display & Touchscreen Interface
The 2.8-inch capacitive touchscreen provides an intuitive interface for navigating the MFD28.
Users can create personalized display pages and configure the information shown through customizable widgets, layouts, colors, and graphics. This allows the display to be configured around the driver's preferred vehicle information and monitoring requirements.
Performance Monitoring
The MFD28 Gen2 includes built-in performance measurement functions that allow drivers to monitor acceleration times and other supported performance metrics.
These functions provide a convenient way to benchmark vehicle performance without requiring a separate performance timing device.
Diagnostic Functions
The CANchecked MFD28 can read and clear diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) directly through the display when supported by the vehicle's communication protocols.
This provides convenient access to supported diagnostic information without requiring a separate diagnostic display.
External Sensor Support
The MFD28 supports expanded monitoring through compatible external sensors and analog inputs.
This allows additional vehicle parameters to be monitored when the required CAN data is not available directly from the vehicle or when additional sensors are desired for modified and performance applications.
Compatible sensor availability and functionality depend on the specific CANchecked configuration and accessories used.
Installation
The MFD28 Gen2 uses a vehicle-specific air vent integration designed for compatible Audi B8/8T applications.
The display is positioned within the factory vent location, providing a clean and integrated installation while keeping the screen within the driver's line of sight.
Installation and available functions may vary according to the specific vehicle configuration.
Vehicle Compatibility & Data Availability
CANchecked products communicate directly with the vehicle through the CAN bus. Compatibility and available data depend on the vehicle manufacturer, model, model year, installed control units, and software version.
Many vehicles provide limited information through standard OBD diagnostics, while dedicated CANchecked integrations can access additional information through the vehicle's internal communication networks.
Not all displayed values are intended for diagnostic or safety-critical purposes. Displayed information should not be relied upon as the sole source for vehicle operation, diagnostics, maintenance, tuning, or safety-related decisions.
Customers are responsible for verifying compatibility with their specific vehicle before purchase and installation.
