Description
The CANchecked MFD28 Gen2 Multi Function Display is a vehicle-specific digital monitoring system designed for the BMW F97 X3M and F98 X4M LCI. Manufactured in Germany, the MFD28 provides direct communication with the vehicle's ECU through the CAN Bus network, allowing real-time monitoring of engine, vehicle, performance, and diagnostic data.
Designed specifically for left-hand-drive LCI models, the MFD28 is integrated into a vehicle-specific factory air vent assembly for a clean, OEM-style installation. The 2.8-inch touchscreen provides an intuitive interface for monitoring vehicle parameters without the need for additional aftermarket gauges.
The display can access a wide range of available CAN Bus data, including boost pressure, oil temperature, coolant temperature, intake air temperature, fuel pressure, ethanol content, ignition timing, RPM, gear position, vehicle speed, and other engine and vehicle parameters.
With support for up to 128 sensor values and 10 configurable display pages, the MFD28 can be customized using CANchecked's DSS (Display Setup Software). Users can configure display layouts, sensor parameters, warning thresholds, startup screens, and performance monitoring functions.
The MFD28 also includes integrated data logging, diagnostic trouble code functionality, four analog inputs for additional sensors, ethanol sensor compatibility, and support for external shift light modules, making it suitable for both daily-driven and modified BMW applications.

Custom Display Layouts
The MFD28 can be customized through CANchecked DSS Display Setup Software.
Users can create up to 10 configurable display pages and organize available vehicle data into personalized layouts. Display settings can include sensor values, gauge configurations, warning thresholds, graphics, and custom startup screens.
Pre-configured layouts provide a convenient starting point, while the advanced configuration options allow the display to be tailored to individual street, performance, or track applications.
CAN Bus & ECU Integration
The MFD28 communicates directly with the vehicle through the CAN Bus using manufacturer-specific diagnostic protocols.
This allows the display to retrieve available ECU and vehicle information without relying exclusively on standard OBD diagnostic data. Dedicated CANchecked vehicle integrations can provide access to additional parameters available through the vehicle's internal communication networks.
Data availability can vary between different models, model years, software versions, and vehicle configurations.
External Sensor Support
The MFD28 includes four analog inputs for connecting additional sensors.
Supported sensor applications can include:
- Oil pressure
- Fuel pressure
- Exhaust gas temperature (EGT)
- Additional temperature sensors
- Other compatible analog sensors
The display also supports compatible ethanol content sensors and CANchecked external shift light modules.
Performance & Data Logging
The integrated performance meter allows drivers to measure acceleration and monitor performance-related data directly through the MFD28.
The display also includes data logging to the internal SD card, allowing supported vehicle parameters to be recorded for later review and analysis.
Diagnostic Functions
The MFD28 provides supported diagnostic trouble code functionality, allowing users to read and clear compatible engine fault codes directly through the display.
Displayed information should be treated as supplemental monitoring information and not as the sole source for vehicle diagnostics, maintenance, tuning, or safety-related decisions.
Installation
The CANchecked MFD28 is designed for installation into the vehicle-specific air vent assembly supplied with the product.
The included vehicle-specific connection harness provides a plug-and-play installation approach for compatible BMW applications.
The display is designed specifically for left-hand-drive LCI models. Verify the vehicle's exact configuration before installation.
Vehicle Compatibility & Data Availability
CANchecked products communicate directly with vehicles through the CAN Bus network. The amount of available information depends on the vehicle manufacturer, model, model year, installed control units, and software version.
Many modern vehicles provide limited information through standard OBD diagnostics. CANchecked's dedicated integrations can access additional information directly from the vehicle's internal communication networks where supported.
Not all displayed values are intended for diagnostic or safety-critical purposes. Displayed data 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.
