Integrated Shift Light
The MFD32S Gen2 features an integrated shift light, eliminating the need for a separate external module.
Both the color sequence and RPM thresholds can be configured, allowing the shift light to be tailored to the vehicle and driver's preferences. This provides a clear visual indication when approaching the desired shift point.
CAN Bus & Vehicle Data Monitoring
The MFD32S communicates directly with compatible vehicles through the CAN Bus, allowing supported engine and vehicle information to be displayed in real time.
Depending on the vehicle and available integration, the display can access deeper vehicle data beyond standard diagnostic information. Available parameters depend on the vehicle manufacturer, model, model year, installed control units, and software configuration.
Touchscreen & Display Customization
The 3.2-inch capacitive touchscreen allows users to navigate between pages using intuitive swipe gestures.
Display pages can be customized with preferred information, graphics, pictures, and startup animations. This allows the MFD32S to be configured around the driver's preferred monitoring requirements.
Gear Display & Performance Meter
The MFD32S can display the vehicle's current gear directly through CAN Bus data or calculate the gear using vehicle speed and RPM.
The integrated performance meter can measure:
- 0–100
- 100–200
- 0–200
These performance measurements can be performed without requiring additional external hardware.
External Sensor & Ethanol Support
The MFD32S provides up to four analog inputs for compatible external sensors.
A compatible ethanol sensor can also be connected directly to the display for supported Flex Fuel monitoring applications.
The exact sensor compatibility and available functions depend on the sensor, vehicle, and CANchecked configuration.
Custom Alarms & Data Logging
Customizable alarms allow users to configure warnings for selected vehicle parameters. When a monitored value exceeds the configured threshold, the display can provide a prominent warning message.
The MFD32S also supports internal data logging, allowing vehicle information to be recorded and saved to the internal SD card for later analysis.
CAN Switching
The display can be used as a CAN keypad for supported applications, allowing users to send custom CAN messages to the vehicle's CAN Bus.
This provides additional flexibility for vehicles with custom CAN-based controls and aftermarket electronics.
Diagnostic Functions
On supported vehicle systems, the MFD32S can read and clear diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) from systems including:
- Engine control unit
- Transmission
- ABS
- All-wheel drive
Available diagnostic functions depend on the vehicle's communication protocols and supported CANchecked integration.
Installation & Orientation
The universal MFD32S features a symmetrical housing that can be installed in either a vertical or horizontal orientation.
Its compact dimensions of 89.5 × 72.5 mm and 19.5 mm depth without the connector provide flexibility when selecting an installation location.
The included connectors and pre-assembled 20 cm cables provide wiring for power, CAN Bus, analog inputs, 5V supply, and sensor ground.
Vehicle Compatibility & Data Availability
CANchecked products communicate directly with compatible vehicles through the CAN Bus. As a general guideline, CAN Bus became widely available in production vehicles from approximately 2008 onward, but compatibility and available data vary by manufacturer, model, model year, installed control units, and software version.
Some vehicles provide limited information through standard OBD diagnostics, while dedicated CANchecked integrations can access additional data through internal vehicle 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.
