CANchecked MFD15 Gen2 CAN/OBD2 Data Display (52 mm)

The CANchecked MFD15 Gen2 is a compact 52 mm data display with an OLED screen designed for clear readability, including in direct sunlight. It mounts in typical 52 mm interior bezels and CANchecked vehicle-specific holders. Control is via the two front push buttons or an optional external rotary knob.

Key features

• Compact housing: 52 mm diameter, 12.5 mm depth
• Front LED: configurable as shift light and/or warning light
• CAN capability: supports CAN bus ECUs, custom CAN streams, and OBD2 via CAN (11-bit/29-bit); deep values for VAG vehicles from model year 2008 (in some cases older)
• WiFi setup: configure via smartphone or PC using oDSS
• Analog inputs: up to 6 sensors (linear 0–5 V and NTC supported); optional direct ethanol sensor connection with license
• Preset alarms: activate and customize predefined warnings (example given: EGT above 900°C)
• Customization: custom startup image and color scheme
• Optional functions (license-dependent): online logging, flex fuel display, CAN switching and analog-input forwarding to CAN

Display pages and layouts

Configure up to eight pages and choose from multiple layouts, including:

• Analog pointer
• Single value
• Double value
• Gear indicator
• 4-value and 6-value pages
• Bar + double display
• Round display
• Bar graph (double across)
• Performance meter
• Bar chart (1–6 values, upright)

WiFi configuration with oDSS

The MFD15 Gen2 can be accessed via WiFi for setup using a smartphone or PC. oDSS is used to configure the display, upload a startup image, update the unit, and log data (logging requires a license).

Supported ECU data and protocols

The display is compatible with ISO 11898-2 and SAE J2284. Available ECU values depend on what the ECU broadcasts on CAN; documentation such as a DBC file can be imported via DSS. Depending on the manufacturer, up to 64 sensors can be queried.

OBD2 requests via CAN (11-bit/29-bit) are supported, along with vehicle-specific protocols such as UDS and TP2.

Included by default:

• OBD2 (11-bit and 29-bit)
• Ecumaster (Classic and Black)
• VAG PQ34
• Haltech v2
• LinkECU
• MaxxECU
• Motec M1
• Emtron
• Megasquirt 2 and 3

For VAG vehicles from model year 2008 (and in individual cases older), in-depth protocol-based queries are available, including values such as oil temperature, boost pressure, transmission temperature, cylinder-selective ignition angle return, high/low pressure, and wastegate actuation.

Integrated LED (shift light / warning)

The internal LED can be configured as a shift light or warning LED.

• Shift light: up to 8 colors with RPM thresholds and a configurable flash point
• Warning LED: min/max thresholds per sensor; LED flashes in the configured color when out of range (shift light is disabled during warning)

Analog inputs and sensor support

Six analog inputs support linear 0–5 V sensors and NTC sensors. CANchecked sensor curves are preloaded for plug-and-play use on the following channels:

• AIN1: Temperature sensor (NTC01)
• AIN2: Type K EGT transducer (TCC01)
• AIN3: Pressure sensor 0–10 bar (FLP01)
• AIN4: Boost pressure sensor 0–5.5 bar absolute (BST01)
• AIN5: Not preconfigured
• AIN6: Not preconfigured

A pre-assembled 4-way AIN harness can be used for connection.

What’s in the box

• CC22900 BST01: Pressure sensor 0–5.5 bar absolute (80 psi)

Additional licenses

Live logging

With the "Live Logging" license, sensor data can be logged into oDSS and downloaded to a smartphone or PC. For OBD and UDS, only the currently displayed sensors are logged.

Flex Fuel (ethanol sensor direct to display)

With the ethanol sensor license, an ethanol sensor can be connected directly to the display. A 10 kΩ pull-up resistor is required between 5 V and the signal. Ethanol content and fuel temperature can be displayed and logged.

CAN switching and AIN forwarding

With the CAN switching/AIN forwarding license, the display buttons or rotary knob can switch CAN switches and forward analog input voltages onto the CAN bus.
