VW Golf MK5 LHD/RHD MFD28 Gen2

The vehicle-specific CANchecked MFD28 Gen2 for your VW Golf MK5 – perfectly integrated and all data always in view.

The vehicle-specific MFD28 Gen2 transforms your air vent into a smart display with features you won’t want to be without. Our displays are designed for easy installation by anyone. For most models, we offer illustrated installation instructions, allowing you to install your display without a visit to a workshop.

Key Features

• Perfect integration: The vehicle-specific bezel still allows airflow past the display.
• CAN bus: Reading out in-depth vehicle data using manufacturer diagnostic tools
• Gear indicator: Directly via CAN bus or calculated from speed and RPM
• Touchscreen: Navigate through the pages using intuitive swipe gestures.
• Personalization: Design your own pages, add your own images or a custom startup animation.
• Additional inputs: Connect up to 4 analog inputs and an ethanol sensor directly to the display.
• CAN Switching: Use your display as a keypad and send your own CAN messages to the bus.
• Customizable Alarms: Individual alerts can be easily configured and activated. For example, receive a major warning message when the exhaust temperature exceeds 900 degrees.
• Logging: Log and save your data to the internal SD card for later analysis.
• Performance Meter: Measure your 0-100, 100-200 and 0-200 times with the integrated performance meter without any additional hardware.
• DTC*: Read and clear fault codes from the engine control unit, transmission, ABS and all-wheel drive
• Dimming*: Your display dims automatically along with the instrument panel.

Different views

Configure your own page or choose from various pre-made views:

• The display comes with predefined sample pages.
• Creating your own pages is possible and encouraged.
• Up to ten pages possible
• 20 different widget types (e.g. sensor value, analog pointer, YT diagram, tachometer bar, circular display, vertical/horizontal bar)
• Widgets are scalable in size and can be positioned using drag and drop.
• Widget colors are fully customizable.
• Up to 64 widgets per page

Display Setup Software – DSS

With the CANchecked DSS, you can fully customize your display to your needs. The integrated log viewer allows you to download and view log files. A CAN logger is also integrated. The core feature is the integrated TRI editor, which lets you configure sensors (whether CAN bus or internal): Assign minimum/maximum values ​​for warnings and rename your sensors.

Supported Values

Many customers frequently ask: Which values ​​can I retrieve from my control unit? The answer: ALL of them.

We have reverse-engineered the data for most engines and can offer in-depth information. In addition to CAN bus data query (UDS, TP2, manufacturer-specific protocols), our display also supports data query via K-line (ISO 9141).

Your display comes standard with pre-configured TRI/TRX files. These files define all the sensors that will be queried. These sensors vary from motor to motor. Here’s an excerpt of what’s possible:

The temperature:

• Exhaust gas temperature, coolant temperature, oil temperature, intake air temperature, outside temperature, fuel temperature, DSG temperature

Press:

• Boost pressure, ambient pressure, fuel pressure, lift pump pressure, actual/target rail pressure

Lambda/mixture

• Lambda value, injection time, short-term lambda adaptation, long-term lambda adaptation

Miscellaneous

• Engine speed, air mass, vehicle speed, throttle valve angle, total ignition timing, ignition timing retard per cylinder, N75 duty cycle in %, terminal 30 voltage, torque, gear, diesel-specific values

If any values ​​are missing, we can add them later.

Scope of delivery

Each delivery includes:

• MFD28 Gen2 data display integrated into the ventilation unit for LHD&RHD vehicles
• Vehicle-specific connection cable
• Quickstart Guide
• USB data cable
• SD card (pre-installed in the display)
• SD card adapter
• Screen protector (to prevent reflections)

Connection and expansion

Any sensor can be connected via the four analog inputs – we support both linear 0-5V and NTC sensors.
Our in-house CANchecked sensors are pre-installed in the TRI/TRX files and simply need to be connected.

• AIN1: Temperature sensor (NTC01)
• AIN2: Converter for exhaust gas temperature probe type K (TCC01)
• AIN3: Pressure sensor 0-10 bar (FLP01)
• AIN4: Boost pressure sensor 0-5.5 bar absolute (BST01)

You can use our pre-assembled AIN cable harness for the connection.

In addition to the analog sensors, you can also connect our external shift light with 8 LEDs. This can flash in different colors, and the rev limits and colors can be configured directly on the display.

You connect the ethanol sensor directly to the display. You need a pull-up resistor (10K) between 5V and the signal. Afterwards, you can view and log the ethanol content and temperature directly on the display.

Advanced Features

The Math Channels allow you to combine sensor data. The User Tables give you the option to generate additional sensors using 2D or 3D characteristic curves.
