CANchecked MFD32S Gen2 Programmable Touch Screen CanBus Display w/Shift Light

Note: Universal kit does NOT include OBDII cable. Universal pigtail only included which can be used to manually connect to CANbus High/Low wires. OBDII cables sold separately. Certain Volkswagen/Audi vehicles will require specific OBDII cable here. Other 2008+ CANbus OBDII vehicle can use universal cable here. Not sure which cable to use? Contact us for assistance.

The CANchecked MFD32S is a large, 3.2" touch screen display which allows you to monitor a huge amount of information from your car's computer and incorporates a bright LED shift light. The MFD32S is a CANbus compatible device which is able to read information from most 2008-onwards vehicles by simply plugging into your vehicles OBDII port. CANbus is currently how newer vehicles send and receive data. Think of it as a USB port on a computer; whatever is plugged into a USB port can be opened and accessed from your computer. If your CANbus ECU has sensors plugged in, then in most cases plugging a CANchecked display will read it* (*see below for more information). Don't have a CANbus ECU in your car? No problem! The MFD32S can accept 4 additional analogue inputs including Flex Fuel sensors directly to the gauge. No ECA module required.

The MFD32S however is more than just a gauge. It is also a data logging tool, a CAN sensor hub, a CAN control switch, a shift light and a warning light! Read below for a full list of features. The MFD32S is a compact device and can used in both landscape and portrait orientations which you can then design in the DSS display setup software on your PC or Laptop. The MFD32S can be configured easily to display certain ECU values with a range of pre-made screen designs.

The internal shift light features 8 bright LED lights and is completely adjustable to set which RPM the lights will illuminate and at what point they change colour and flash.

The CANchecked MFD32S is one of the best ways to monitor and enjoy your vehicle.

• Can bus switching

Different views

The MFD32 can be customised to display data in many different ways:

Supported values

Many customers always ask: “Which values ​​can I query from my control unit?” The answer: “ ALL ”. Our MFD15 is compatible with ISO 11898-2 and SAE J2284. The ECU manufacturers themselves determine which values ​​are sent via the CAN bus interface. Documentation is important here - perhaps even in the form of a DBC file that can be imported via our DSS . You can also access our extensive list of already implemented control devices. These can be found in the  download area . A total of up to 64 sensors can be queried if the manufacturer supports this.

Data that is available in broadcast as well as OBD2 queries via Can Bus (11bit/29bit) are implemented. Special protocols such as UDS are also available. If the desired control device is not listed, please contact us using the contact form

Included as standard:

• All vehicles from around 2008 (OBD2 - 11bit/29bit)
• Ecumaster Classic and Black
• DTAfast
• BMW E46 Can Bus
• Haltech v2
• Hondata
• KMS van Kronenburg
• LinkECU
• MaxxECU
• Motec M1
• Emtron
• Megasquirt 2 and 3
• Syvecs
• Trijekt
• VW/AUDI PQ34/PQ35 etc.

MFD32 - dimensions and fastening

With its dimensions of 89 x 60mm, the display is very compact. In addition, the M4 threaded sockets on the back enable individual and secure attachment.

DSS - Display Setup Software

With our DSS - Display Setup Software, the display can be easily configured on the PC. The Can Bus protocol can be customized, you can import DBC files and design the displays with your widgets. The log viewer downloads log files from the display. You can then look at these and select and scale values ​​individually.

A built-in Can Bus Logger makes it possible to take a very close look at the protocol. This allows unknown can buses to be reverse-engineered.

Connection and Expansion

With our wide product range, the display can be expanded flexibly

• CANchecked sensor for water/oil temperature
• CANchecked sensor for oil pressure/petrol pressure
• CANchecked Can Bus Extension:  MCE18 - Can Bus Extension
• CANchecked Can Bus Hub:  CBD08 - can bus distribution / can hub

Analogue Forwarding

“Analogue Forwarding” forwards the sensors (up to 4) connected to the display to the control unit - these can be sensors, physical switches, position sensors or others. You can connect an ethanol sensor directly to the MFD32 display. You need a pullup resistor (10K) between 5V and signal. Now you can view and log both the ethanol content and the fuel temperature.

CANbus Switching

Modern control devices communicate with their environment via Can Bus. A very stable two-wire communication medium that is popular not only in the automotive sector but also in industry. The control devices send data to surrounding systems such as ABS, speedometer, all-wheel drive so that the data can be used there accordingly. But communication with the control unit is also possible. More and more “aftermarket” control devices support the function. The control unit receives data via the Can Bus and can use this to (temporarily) change certain parameters.

Due to the touchscreen of our MFD28 / MFD32 / MFD32S and the individually customizable view of the display, we have the opportunity to react very quickly to such requirements.

You can place a widget on the screen and change the type of widget to “CANSwitch”. Now you have the option to choose between EIGHT different switches. You then have to store this in your control unit with the desired function, and you're done. The communication takes over completely from the display. No additional external switches or buttons are necessary. During operation, you can now tap the widget directly and thus trigger “Can Bus Switching”.
