    This thing is terrible for what it’s trying to do. I’m so glad I have several tools that can back this up. I traded a friend my IM608 for this NEWER obdstar based on this video. FIRST job I get is BMW e90 replace the DME. Pretty simple task for all the high end immo devices. Simply read the ISN of donor DME and write to the CAS module. Im608 does it without issue, Xtool, CGDI no problem. This obdstar connects and almost immediately says it can’t support this version of DME…. Basic msv80. Luckily I happen to have my CGDI laying in the trunk so I break out my laptop , and within minutes I’ve read the donor ISN and written it to the CaS. Car started job done. Is there ANY way to make the obdstar handle this? It comes with a lot of Kit, to be a waste.

      You had a sample size of ONE. The guy has said in previous videos and essentially every automotive programming guru says you need many tools to do majority of modules. There is no tool out there that can do all. So because you tried one tool on one module then it is terrible?

      @@pedaltheglobe419 you saw in my post, I have many tools. The problem here is, on an e90, almost every tool of this level can handle the Isn job. It’s not a matter of every module - this is in the market as a specialized Immo tool. I’m not asking it to do ANYTHING outside of that. OBDstar is on the same level as Xtool, and Xtool doesn’t have a problem with it. For its cost , it’s should be able to do what IT claims. It specifically identifies ON the tool that it can handle this task, and has all the selection and menus to get to it, then, it just fails. That’s it, no explanation, not alternative, just fails. Since this post I’ve resorted to just using my good tools and bringing this key master along , bcuz I’m open minded and like to try it on multiple jobs to see if there’s ANYTHING that makes this worth bringing. Well guess what? MORE disappointment. I had a task of changing the info from an ME2.8 from Bosch. Of course the Keymaster couldn’t do it over obd, but fine, it has an eeprom reader/writer built in. So I try to read the 95P08 chip and write it to the new chip. Well the obdstar can’t read the 95P08 eeprom , even tho in its list it shows 95040 to be used for 95P08. Anyways, I have Launch Pad 5 and it was able to read and write the eeprom no problems. I also have Vvdi prog, which of course can do it. Basically I’m trying to get some kinda value out of the Keymaster, but it’s just not happening.

      @@globalcommerce7654 today I had a job to do 2010 Lincoln Mkz pcm change. The idea is to simply do Parameter Reset to get it done. I know my Launch based scanner can do it and I have my laptop with Forscan in case I need the big guns. I also brought along the Keymaster G3 as it should be the fastest. I used the G3 first, quickly identified the vehicle , get to parameter reset, it says wait 10 minutes and the process starts. About 8-10 minutes in it says “Login Failed”. I turn of ignition and turn back on and retry the process. Again “Login Failed” after the 10 minutes. I took out the Launch , went through the same process , about 6 mins wait and the message “Security access granted “. Then I choose Parameter Reset , wait a few seconds, turn key off then on, car starts.

    Obdstar is not better than Autel but it’s a very good compliment to the Autel. One area I will grab the Obdstar every time is late model Dodge Ram. 23-24. Autel takes a long time to pull the pin and failed to program keys. The Obdstar pulls pin in seconds and programs the keys very fast as well.

There's 45 to 60 day vsp implementation have passed as its been around 90 days now and no sign of a vsp needed. Also i have yet to see a UA-cam video of a programmer needing a vsp code to access anything. So me personally i think its all a bluff from nastf to scare shop owners to pay them for a vsp. Or it could be that tool manufacturers to nastf to F off or the made different arrangements for security accessibility.
