Description
The CANchecked MFD28 Gen2 Multi Function Display provides BMW X3M F97 and X4M F98 owners with real-time access to critical vehicle data through a discreet, vehicle-specific dashboard installation.
Designed specifically for 2020–2021 pre-LCI models with left-hand drive, the MFD28 integrates into the factory air vent area using a vehicle-specific trim assembly while maintaining airflow and a clean, OEM-inspired appearance.
The system communicates directly with the vehicle through the CAN Bus, providing access to a wide range of ECU and vehicle parameters including boost pressure, oil temperature, coolant temperature, intake air temperature, fuel pressure, ethanol content, ignition timing, gear position, vehicle speed, and more.
The 2.8-inch capacitive touchscreen provides an intuitive interface for navigating customizable display layouts, monitoring live data, reviewing logged information, configuring warnings, and accessing performance measurement functions.

The MFD28 includes four analog inputs for connecting compatible external sensors.
These inputs can be used for additional monitoring applications such as:
- Oil pressure
- Fuel pressure
- Exhaust gas temperature
- Other compatible analog sensors
The display also supports compatible ethanol sensors through its digital input.
Data Logging & Performance Monitoring
The integrated SD card allows vehicle data to be logged for later review and analysis.
The built-in performance meter can also be used to measure acceleration performance, providing useful data for benchmarking and evaluating vehicle performance.
Installation
The MFD28 is supplied integrated into a vehicle-specific air vent assembly, along with the required connection harness.
The vehicle-specific design provides a clean installation while retaining the factory-style appearance of the dashboard. The included USB cable, SD card, SD adapter, anti-reflective film, and quick start guide support setup and configuration.
Vehicle Compatibility & Data Availability
CANchecked products communicate directly with the vehicle through the CAN Bus. The amount of available data and supported functions depends on the vehicle manufacturer, model, model year, installed control units, and software version.
CAN Bus availability became widespread in production vehicles from approximately 2008 onward, but available data varies significantly between applications.
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 should verify compatibility with their specific vehicle before purchase and installation.
