CANchecked MFD28 Gen2 for Skoda Octavia NX

The CANchecked MFD28 Gen2 replaces an air vent insert with a vehicle-specific display solution that stays integrated and keeps airflow available. It’s designed for straightforward installation, with illustrated instructions available for most versions.

Key features

• Vehicle-specific integration: Bezel design allows airflow past the display
• CAN bus data: In-depth vehicle data readout similar to manufacturer diagnostic tools
• Gear display: Via CAN bus or calculated from speed and RPM
• Touchscreen control: Swipe-based page navigation
• Custom pages: Create your own layouts, add images or a start animation
• Sensor inputs: Up to 4 analog inputs plus direct ethanol sensor connection
• CAN switching: Use the display as a keypad and send custom CAN messages
• Configurable alarms: Set warning thresholds (e.g., exhaust gas temperature above 900°C)
• Data logging: Save logs to the internal SD card for later analysis
• Performance meter: 0–100, 100–200, and 0–200 timing 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 display views

• 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 with scalable widgets
• Fully adjustable widget colours
• Up to 64 widgets per page

Display Setup Software (DSS)

CANchecked DSS is used to configure pages, download and review log files, and use the integrated CAN logger. The built-in TRI Editor lets you adjust sensors (CAN bus or internal), set min/max warning thresholds, and rename sensors.

Vehicle data and supported 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 defining the queried sensors; available channels depend on the engine. Examples 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 data display integrated in the ventilation insert (LHD vehicles)
• Vehicle-specific connection cable
• Quickstart guide
• USB data cable
• SD card (pre-installed)
• SD card adapter
• Display foil (anti-reflection)

Connections and expansion

Four analog inputs support linear 0–5V and NTC sensors. CANchecked in-house sensors are stored in the TRI/TRX files by default and can be connected directly:

• 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 colours and thresholds configurable on the display. An ethanol sensor connects directly to the display (requires a 10K pull-up resistor between 5V and signal) to display and log ethanol content and temperature.

Advanced functions

Math channels allow calculated values from existing sensors. User-Table functionality enables additional sensors via 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 1/8 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)
