BMW F-Series CAN-Bus Display (MFD28 Gen2)
This BMW F-series display reads vehicle data directly via the CAN-Bus protocol and shows it on an integrated MFD28 display. It is designed to fit cleanly into the factory cockpit using a model-specific bezel, with a CAN-Bus configuration adapted for fast query speed.
Key Features
- OEM-style integration for BMW F-series interiors
- Supports up to 128 sensors (depending on vehicle/ECU)
- 10 individually configurable display pages via DSS (Display Setup Software)
- Preconfigured display pages for quick setup
- Plug-and-play installation using the included vehicle-specific cable set
- 4 analog inputs for additional monitoring (e.g., exhaust temperature, oil pressure)
- Direct ethanol sensor connection option
- Glare shield included to reduce reflections
- Eye-level diagnostics-oriented sensor display
- Data logging to internal SD card (continuous or on demand)
- Page switching via the factory cruise control switch
Functions
- Performance meter: 0–100, 100–200, 0–200 acceleration timing
- Data logging: stores data to the internal SD card; last drive data is retained
- Configurable alerts: user-adjustable warnings (example given: EGT 900°)
- Error reading/clearing: read and clear ECU fault messages on the display
- Personalization: customizable startup screen and widget selection
CAN-Bus Sensor Data (TRI File)
A preconfigured TRI file is supplied listing available channels (availability depends on engine/ECU).
- Temperatures: coolant, intake air, exhaust gas temperature, transmission
- Pressures: boost, ambient, oil pressure
- Lambda / fueling: lambda target/actual, short- and long-term lambda adaptation, MAF, engine load, torque
- Driver dynamics: brake pressure, vehicle speed, throttle angle / pedal position
- Other: RPM, total ignition angle, gear, battery voltage, ignition correction per cylinder
Analog Inputs & Expansion
Four analog inputs support both linear 0–5V and NTC sensors for add-ons such as oil temperature, fuel pressure, oil pressure, exhaust gas temperature, and more.
Preconfigured CANchecked Sensor Inputs (TRI/TRX)
- AIN1: Temperature sensor
- AIN2: Type K exhaust gas temperature probe
- AIN3: Pressure sensor 0–10 bar
- AIN4: Boost pressure sensor 0–5.5 bar absolute
An external 8-LED flash module can be connected and configured for rev-limit indication (color and behavior set via the display).
Ethanol Sensor Connection
The ethanol sensor connects directly to the display. A 10K pull-up resistor between 5V and signal is required. Ethanol content and temperature can then be displayed and logged.
Advanced Configuration
- Math channels: combine and process sensor values
- User tables: create additional channels using 2D or 3D maps
Vehicle Compatibility
Fits BMW Fxx models including M models, 2 Series, 3 Series, and 4 Series. A right-hand drive (RHD) version is also available.
