CANchecked MFD28 Gen2 for Opel Calibra A
The vehicle-specific MFD28 Gen2 replaces an air vent with an integrated data display while still allowing airflow past the screen. Designed for DIY installation; illustrated instructions are available for most displays.
Key features
- OEM-style fitment: Vehicle-specific bezel with retained ventilation function
- CAN bus data: Read in-depth vehicle data similar to manufacturer diagnostic tools
- Gear display: Via CAN bus or calculated from speed and RPM
- Touchscreen control: Page navigation with swipe gestures
- Custom pages: Create your own layouts, add images or a start animation
- Inputs: Up to 4 analog inputs plus direct ethanol sensor support
- CAN switching: Use the display as a keypad and send custom CAN messages
- Configurable alarms: User-defined warnings (e.g., EGT warning above 900°C)
- Logging: Record data to the internal SD card for later analysis
- Performance meter: Measure 0–100, 100–200, and 0–200 times without additional hardware
- DTC*: Read and clear faults for engine ECU, transmission, ABS, and all-wheel drive
- Auto dimming*: Dims with the instrument panel
Pages and layouts
- Delivered with predefined sample pages
- Create your own pages (up to 10)
- 20 widget types (e.g., sensor value, analogue pointer, YT diagram, speed bar, round display, vertical/horizontal bar)
- Drag-and-drop positioning and scalable widget sizes
- Fully adjustable widget colours
- Up to 64 widgets per page
Display Setup Software (DSS)
DSS is used to customize the display, download and review log files, and use the integrated CAN logger. The integrated TRI Editor lets you adjust sensor definitions (CAN bus or internal), set min/max warning thresholds, and rename sensors.
ECU data and supported protocols
The display supports CAN bus queries (UDS, TP2, manufacturer-specific protocols) and K-Line (ISO 9141). It is supplied with predefined TRI/TRX files that define which sensors are queried; available sensors vary by engine and can be added later if missing.
Examples of supported values
- Temperatures: Exhaust, coolant, oil, intake, outside, gasoline, DSG
- Pressures: Boost, ambient, fuel pressure pre-feed pump, rail pressure actual/target
- Lambda/mixture: Lambda value, injection time, short term lambda adjustment, long term lambda adjustment
- Other: RPM, air mass, vehicle speed, throttle angle, total ignition angle, ignition angle retraction per cylinder, N75 timing (%), terminal 30 voltage, torque, gear, diesel-specific values
Scope of delivery
- MFD28 Gen2 data display integrated in the ventilation insert for LHD & RHD vehicles
- Connector A (8-way Molex)
- Connector B (10-way Molex)
- Pre-assembled connection cables (20 cm) for power supply, CAN bus, analogue inputs, 5V, sensor ground
- Crimp pins
- Two 1K resistors (pull-up for external NTC sensors)
- Quickstart guide
- USB data cable
- SD card (pre-installed)
- SD card adapter
- Anti-reflection display foil
Connection and expansion
Four analogue inputs support linear 0–5V and NTC sensors. CANchecked in-house sensors are stored in the TRI/TRX files by default and only need to be connected:
- AIN1: Temperature sensor (NTC01)
- AIN2: Type K exhaust gas temperature converter (TCC01)
- AIN3: Pressure sensor 0–10 bar (FLP01)
- AIN4: Boost pressure sensor 0–5.5 bar absolute (BST01)
An external shift light with eight LEDs can be connected; flash colours and speed limits are configurable on the display.
An ethanol sensor can be connected directly. A 10K pull-up resistor between 5V and the signal is required to view and log ethanol content and temperature.
Advanced functions
- Math channels: Calculate sensors against each other
- User table: Create additional sensors using 2D or 3D maps
Optional accessories
- CC24000 SLM08 - external switching lightning module
- CC22780 ANC04 - four-way AIN-harness
- CC22100 CBD08 - eight-way CAN distribution hub
- CC22902 NTC01 - temperature sensor for liquids 1/ inch" NPT
- CC22903 TCC01 - type K converter 0-1250°C
- CC22901 FLP01 - pressure sensor 0-10 bar (145psi) M10x1
- CC22900 BST01 - pressure sensor 0-5.5 bar absolute (80psi)
*Not available on all protocols.
