Description
The CANchecked MFD28 Gen2 Multi-Function Display is a vehicle-integrated digital monitoring system designed for compatible BMW F-Series vehicles. The 2.8-inch high-resolution display provides real-time access to engine and vehicle data directly through the factory CAN bus network, allowing drivers to monitor critical operating parameters, performance data, and additional sensor inputs.
Manufactured in Germany, the CANchecked MFD28 combines dedicated hardware and software with vehicle-specific integration for an OEM+ interior appearance. The included vehicle-specific trim panel integrates into the dashboard without obstructing factory ventilation, creating a clean installation while adding a powerful digital data interface.
The system communicates directly with the ECU through BMW CAN bus protocols and can access up to 128 sensor values, depending on vehicle and ECU compatibility. Multiple configurable display layouts allow the MFD28 to be used for daily driving, diagnostics, tuning, or track-focused performance monitoring.
The MFD28 Gen2 also includes four analog inputs, internal data logging, performance monitoring, and navigation through the factory cruise control buttons when cruise control is inactive.

CAN Bus & ECU Integration
The CANchecked MFD28 communicates directly with the BMW's factory CAN bus network, providing access to available ECU broadcast data and other supported vehicle parameters.
CANchecked uses optimized BMW communication protocols to query and display vehicle information at high speed. Depending on the vehicle and ECU configuration, the display can provide access to parameters such as engine temperatures, pressures, fueling, ignition data, throttle input, vehicle speed, gear position, and performance information.
The amount of available data varies according to the specific vehicle, model year, installed control units, and software version.
Display & Customization
The MFD28 Gen2 supports 10 configurable display views through CANchecked's Display Setup Software (DSS).
Users can configure different layouts including:
- Multi-value displays
- Gauge-style displays
- Bar graphs
- Performance-focused views
- Custom warning and threshold displays
The system also supports custom startup screens and allows drivers to create different layouts for street driving, diagnostics, tuning, or track use.
Performance Monitoring
The MFD28 provides access to a range of performance-related parameters, depending on the vehicle and available ECU data.
Supported functions can include:
- G-force tracking
- Lateral and longitudinal acceleration
- Steering angle
