Description
The CANchecked OBD2 Connection Cable for VAG Models is designed to connect compatible CANchecked MFD28, MFD32, and MFD32S Gen2 displays directly to the factory OBD2 port on supported Volkswagen Group vehicles.
Manufactured in Germany, this 2-meter cable provides direct OBD2 and CAN Bus communication, allowing compatible CANchecked displays to access real-time vehicle data and supported diagnostic information.
The cable is specifically designed for VAG applications that use Terminal 15 (Pin 1) as the ignition-switched power source. Once connected, the CANchecked display can monitor supported OBD2 parameters and access stored fault-code information through the vehicle's diagnostic port.
Compatible pre-configured OBD TRI files simplify display setup, allowing supported vehicle data to be configured quickly. The system can display up to 128 OBD2 values, depending on the vehicle and CANchecked configuration.

CAN Bus & OBD2 Integration
The CANchecked connection cable provides a direct communication path between the vehicle's OBD2 port and compatible MFD28, MFD32, and MFD32S Gen2 displays.
Once connected, the display can access supported vehicle information communicated through the OBD2 and CAN Bus systems. Depending on the vehicle and configuration, available information can include engine operating data, diagnostic values, and stored fault codes.
Available data and the number of accessible parameters depend on the specific vehicle, control modules, software configuration, and CANchecked integration.
OBD TRI File Compatibility
The cable is compatible with pre-configured CANchecked OBD TRI files, which can simplify the setup process for supported VAG applications.
Using the appropriate configuration allows the CANchecked display to recognize and present supported OBD2 information without requiring extensive manual configuration.
Installation
The 2-meter cable assembly provides sufficient length for flexible routing between the vehicle's OBD2 port and the installed CANchecked display.
Connect the cable to the compatible CANchecked display and the vehicle's factory OBD2 port according to the supplied wiring configuration.
Before installation, verify that the vehicle uses the required Terminal 15 / Pin 1 configuration.
Vehicle Compatibility & Data Availability
The cable is intended for Volkswagen Group universal applications, but compatibility depends on the vehicle's OBD2 pin configuration and communication protocols.
Available vehicle data depends on the manufacturer, model, model year, installed control units, and software version. Not every VAG vehicle will provide the same range of OBD2 parameters.
Customers are responsible for verifying compatibility with their specific vehicle before purchase and installation.
