Configuration using Online Display Setup Software – oDSS
The MFD15 Gen2 features integrated WiFi access, allowing configuration via smartphone or PC.
Using oDSS, you can fully configure the display, log values (license required), upload your own startup image and update the firmware.
Supported values
A frequently asked question is: Which values can I request from my ECU? The answer: ALL – the MFD15 Gen2 supports ISO 11898-2 and SAE J2284.
ECU manufacturers define which values are transmitted via CAN bus. Documentation or DBC files can be imported into the DSS. Depending on the ECU, up to 64 sensors can be queried.
OBD2 via CAN (11bit/29bit) is supported, as well as vehicle-specific protocols like UDS and TP2.
Included by default:
- OBD2 – 11 and 29bit
- Ecumaster – Classic and Black
- VAG PQ34
- Haltech v2
- LinkECU
- MaxxECU
- Motec M1
- Emtron
- Megasquirt 2 and 3
If your ECU is not listed, the required TRI/TRX file can be downloaded or requested from the CANchecked database.
For VAG vehicles from model year 2008 (and some older), deep protocol-based data is available, including oil temperature, boost pressure, transmission temperature, cylinder-specific ignition correction, high/low pressure, wastegate control and more.
Integrated LED
The integrated LED can function as either a shift light or a warning LED.
As a shift light, up to 8 colors and RPM thresholds can be defined, including flashing behavior.
As a warning LED, minimum and maximum thresholds per sensor can be configured. When exceeded, the LED flashes in the defined color and the shift light is temporarily disabled.
Scope of delivery and extensions
Included with every delivery:
- MFD15 Gen2 data display
- Vehicle-specific bezel for LHD & RHD vehicles
- Vehicle-specific connection cable
- Quickstart Guide
- Connector B (6-way Molex)
- Connector C (12-way Molex)
- Pre-assembled colored connection cables (20 cm: power, CAN, analog inputs, 5V, sensor ground)
- Pins to crimp yourself
- Two 1K resistors (pull-up for NTC sensors)
All six analog inputs support linear 0–5V and NTC sensors. CANchecked sensor curves are preloaded and work plug & play:
- AIN1: Temperature sensor (NTC01)
- AIN2: Type K exhaust gas temperature transducer (TCC01)
- AIN3: Pressure sensor 0–10 bar (FLP01)
- AIN4: Boost pressure sensor 0–5.5 bar absolute (BST10)
- AIN5: Not preconfigured
- AIN6: Not preconfigured
A pre-assembled 4-way AIN harness can be used for sensor connection.
With the appropriate license*, an ethanol sensor can be connected directly via a dedicated pin.
Optional accessories
- CC22501 ETK01 – external rotary knob with plug & play 50 cm cable
- CC22100 CBD08 – eight-way CAN Distribution Hub
- CC22780 ANC04 – four-way AIN harness
- CC22902 NTC01 – temperature sensor for liquids 1/8" NPT
- CC22903 TCC01 – type K transducer 0–1250°C
- CC22901 FLP01 – pressure sensor 0–10 bar (145 psi) M10x1
- CC22900 BST10 – pressure sensor 6.5 bar relativ (95 psi)
Additional licenses
Live Logging: With the Live Logging license, sensor data can be logged via oDSS and downloaded to your smartphone or PC.
All sensors are logged (for OBD and UDS only the currently displayed ones). Graphical visualization can be selected.
Flex Fuel ethanol sensor: With the ethanol license, connect the sensor directly using a 10K pull-up resistor. Ethanol content and fuel temperature are displayed and logged.
CAN Switching and AIN forwarding: Use the buttons or rotary knob to switch CAN functions and forward analog input voltages to the CAN bus.
