CANchecked MFD28 Gen2 for Subaru WRX VA
The MFD28 Gen2 replaces the air vent with an integrated data display that keeps key vehicle information in your line of sight. Designed for straightforward installation, with illustrated instructions available for most versions.
Key features
- Vehicle-specific bezel that still allows airflow past the display
- CAN Bus readout with in-depth vehicle data (similar to manufacturer diagnostic tools)
- Gear display via CAN Bus or calculated from speed and RPM
- Touchscreen control with swipe navigation
- Custom pages, images, and start animation
- Up to 4 analog inputs plus direct ethanol sensor input
- CAN switching: use the display as a keypad and send custom CAN messages
- Configurable alarms (e.g., warning when exhaust gas temperature exceeds 900°C)
- Logging to the internal SD card
- Integrated performance meter for 0–100, 100–200, and 0–200
- DTC read/clear for ECU, transmission, ABS, and all-wheel drive (protocol-dependent)
- Automatic dimming with the instrument panel (protocol-dependent)
Pages and layouts
- Delivered with predefined sample pages
- Create and customize your own pages
- Up to 10 pages
- 20 widget types (e.g., sensor value, analogue pointer, YT diagram, speed bar, round display, vertical/horizontal bar)
- Drag-and-drop positioning with scalable widgets
- Fully adjustable widget colors
- Up to 64 widgets per page
Display Setup Software (DSS)
DSS enables full display customization and includes a log viewer for downloading and reviewing log files, plus an integrated CAN logger. The built-in TRI Editor lets you adjust sensors (CAN Bus or internal), set min/max warning thresholds, and rename sensors.
Supported ECU values
The display supports CAN Bus data queries (UDS, TP2, manufacturer-specific protocols) and K-Line (ISO 9141). It ships with predefined TRI/TRX files that define the sensors being queried (varies by engine). Example values include:
Temperatures
- Exhaust temperature, coolant temperature, oil temperature, intake temperature, outside temperature, gasoline temperature, DSG temperature
Pressures
- Boost pressure, ambient pressure, 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
If values are missing, they can be added later.
What’s included
- MFD28 Gen2 display integrated into a ventilation insert for LHD vehicles
- Vehicle-specific connection cable
- Quickstart guide
- USB data cable
- SD card (pre-installed)
- SD card adapter
- Anti-reflection display foil
Connections and expandability
Four analog inputs support linear 0–5V and NTC sensors. CANchecked 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)
A pre-assembled AIN wiring harness can be used for connection.
An external shift light with eight LEDs can also be connected, with configurable colors and speed limits directly on the display.
An ethanol sensor connects directly to the display. A 10K pull-up resistor is required between 5V and signal, enabling ethanol content and temperature display and logging.
Advanced functions
- Math Channels for calculated sensors
- User Table for generating 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 – liquid temperature sensor, 1/8 inch NPT
- CC22903 TCC01 – type K converter, 0–1250°C
- CC22901 FLP01 – pressure sensor 0–10 bar (145 psi), M10x1
- CC22900 BST01 – pressure sensor 0–5.5 bar absolute (80 psi)
*Some functions are not available on all protocols.
