Description
The CANchecked VW MK5 Golf MFD28 Multi Function Display is a compact and configurable 2.8-inch Gen2 touchscreen digital display designed for the Volkswagen Golf MK5. Available for both left-hand-drive and right-hand-drive vehicles, the MFD28 integrates into the vehicle's ventilation system while maintaining airflow and provides an intelligent solution for monitoring engine and vehicle data.
The MFD28 Gen2 uses CAN Bus integration to access detailed vehicle information and can display parameters such as gear position. Gear information can be displayed directly through CAN Bus or calculated using vehicle speed and RPM. The touchscreen interface allows intuitive swipe navigation between customizable display pages.
Designed for enthusiasts and tuners, the CANchecked MFD28 Gen2 supports up to four analog inputs and an ethanol sensor for additional monitoring capabilities. CAN Switching allows the display to function as a keypad and send custom CAN messages to the vehicle's CAN Bus.
Integrated customizable alarms provide prominent warnings when monitored parameters exceed user-defined limits, while the built-in Performance Meter can measure 0-100, 100-200, and 0-200 acceleration times without requiring additional hardware. Data can be logged to the internal SD card for later analysis.

Vehicle Compatibility & Data Availability
CANchecked products communicate directly with the vehicle through the CAN Bus. CAN Bus became widely available in production vehicles from approximately 2008 onwards, but compatibility and available data depend on the vehicle manufacturer, model, model year, installed control units, and software version.
Many modern vehicles provide limited information through standard OBD diagnostics. For selected vehicles, CANchecked offers dedicated integrations that can access additional vehicle data directly from internal vehicle communication networks. Available functions and parameters may vary between vehicles, including vehicles within the same model range.
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.
