CANcheckedAUOur displays offer maximum flexibility. This also includes individual images. Regardless of whether logos, small icons or entire background images can be created yourself and then uploaded to the display via the USB interface.
You need our DSS – Display Setup Software , a PC with an image editing program (in the video we use MS Paint, which is always included with Windows)

The display has access to all relevant vehicle data, so why not control specific things such as “Boost Control”?With the new firmware version v3.0c, the licensed
Boost Control feature is now available for all
MFD28s, which also Works with all vehicle-specific variants. Various functions such as speed, gear and speed-dependent boost pressure control can be used. But “fail-safe” functions with exhaust gas temperature, lambda value, intake temperature and excessive boost pressure are also possible. There are also two “scramble boost” Values.Activation takes place via
License. In addition, a small amount of additional hardware is required for operation, where the boost pressure control valve is connected. If you don’t have a boost pressure sensor yet, you can order the license in a package with a 4.5 bar boost pressure sensor.
* Additional license, boost pressure sensor and at least firmware version v3.0c required, boost pressure control valve not included . Of course, you can’t just control one boost pressure control valve. Other options are:
PWM
digital (on/off)
Two scramble boost values with fixed switching and can only be activated with a tap of the finger
5 freely selectable values with 11 support points to correct the boost pressure
The 4 analog inputs of the display can be used for various sensors: boost pressure, exhaust gas temperature, lambda, fuel pressure
The activation (in Hertz) and inversion of the boost pressure control valve is precisely defined on the display
Optionally, we deliver the AddOn with a 4.5 bar boost pressure sensor, which occupies one of the analog inputs of the display
The internal log function of the display enables permanent recording to the internal SD card and later evaluation on the PC/laptop
With 11 reference points, you first determine the basic characteristic curve of how much the valve is activated at the respective speed.
The displays support OBD2 via Can Bus (from approx. Bj 2007) and thus have access to a lot of engine data (speed, water temperature, lambda, and many more)
Another output is activated, which switches a 12V HIGH signal when a freely selectable sensor is exceeded.
Due to the high integrity of the displays, it is also possible to integrate them into the original Can Bus and access values - for example BMW, Audi, VW, Subaru, etc
It is possible to create an individual warning threshold for each sensor/input and to be warned by a LARGE popup
The display calculates the current gear for “Boost by Gear” from engine speed and speed
Frequency:
Frequency of the wastegate (or the corresponding controlled hardware) in Hertz ( ATTENTION: after this setting you can no longer dim the display!)
Port:
the output pin on the display that should be used for PWM (only RX or TX support PWM, others only digital (ON/OFF)) – after the port change, the display must be restarted.
DutyCycle1/2: PWM
Starting in percent. These are two fixed, switchable levels that can then be activated via widgets in the display. (Scramble Boost)
Status:
active or deactivated Boost Control or switches from “Dynamic Duty” to “Closed Loop (PID)” (available from 3.2 PID control)
inverse:
some boost pressure control valves must be addressed inversely (100%=0%). Please test the correct value here. At 100% you can no longer “blow through”.
DynamicDutyClosed Loop (PID):
Dynamic control (see below)
SafetyDuty:
takes back the control for five freely selectable values as a percentage. Eg exhaust gas temperature, intake air temperature or gear-dependent.
DigOut:
Switch digital output active/inactive
Port:
the pin to be used for the digital output
Sensor:
Sensor that activates the output when exceeded
Value:
the value of the sensor that must be exceeded.
In the Dynamic Duty Cycle area you can set the activation of the wastegate depending on the speed (in the menu under “TRI File” => “SensorInit” “RPM” must be selected appropriately).
If you now tap on the line, you can move the first point vertically by tapping again. Fine adjustment is done using the up/down arrows in the right area. The “Next arrow” takes you to the next point.
The scaling determines the sensor settings of the speed. (Menu => “Sensors” => “RPM”. Here “MinWarnVal” and “MaxWarnVal” must be assigned appropriately. In the picture “MinWarnVal” is set to 0 and “MaxWarnVal” is set to 7500 .
You can use the Safety Duty Cycle function to correct the timing specified under “Dynamic Duty Cycle” as a percentage. So 100% corresponds to 0% activation and 0% corresponds to the value from “Dynamic Duty Cycle”.
This allows you to use safety functions such as exhaust gas temperature, but also for optimized slip (gear-dependent), as well as a step rotary switch via an analog input.
Calculation: Final starting = DynamicDutyCycle * (SafetyDuty1/100) * (SafetyDuty2/100) * (SafetyDuty3/100) * (SafetyDuty4/100) * (SafetyDuty5/100)
12V (A1)
Power supply 12V, to the same power supply as the display (pin A4 on the display)
OUTA (A4) and OUTB (A2)
Output to clock valve or hardware to be controlled (12V)
ground (A3)
Connect ground to the same ground as display (A8) and ground for hardware to be controlled
INA (A8) and INB (A7)
to the display on output pin (RX, TX for PWM or RX2, TX2)
5V (A6)
Power supply for MAP sensor from display 5V
MAP (A5)
Output MAP sensor to display (one of AIN1-4)
For boost control, the wastegate is connected to the charge pressure line between the intake manifold and the wastegate.
The 12V supply to the valve comes from the addon (OUTA) and the ground to the same ground as the boost addon (pin A3).

The MFD28 – Multi Function Display shows :
Additionally about the module:
In the last few weeks we have been able to finalize the panel for the BMW E30 and thus the first installation took place at a customer. So we are showing our very first BMW E30 display installed here.
Our BMW E30 panel can be installed like the original air vent and only requires a small “trick” during installation. The aperture is swung all the way down. Then use a thin plastic spatula to go left between the ventilation grille and the dashboard. There is a limiting nipple at the back – the display has to be twisted a little further beyond this point. Then it can be pulled out to the front.
If you look at the BMW E30 panel before installation, this becomes even clearer. The display is pushed back at the same angle as the ventilation grille was removed and then swiveled into the normal position.
All functions of the MFD28 – Multi Function Display are retained. The customer can design all views and their widgets himself. In the example we have imitated the well-known “Alpina” display and thus get a great retro display with the look of the original components.
After successfully installing and wiring the sensors, we were able to put the display into operation.
The dimming function of the display ensures great readability even at night.
After the successful installation and wiring of the sensors, we were able to put the display into operation.
Many customers from the BMW sector have asked us for a vehicle-specific cover for the
MFD28. Now Stephan, who is responsible for product design, has finally found time. Once again a masterpiece –
our BMW E30 display
The 2.8″ display is for freely programmable control units and/or you can use the 4 analog inputs for boost pressure, lambda, exhaust gas temperature, oil temperature. The electronic software is exactly the same as with our MFD28 and so all features can be used in exactly the same way.
