The OBDSTAR Converter V2 is an interface adapter that sits between your OBDSTAR device's main OBD2 cable and the 16-pin OBD2 diagnostic connector (J1962) on the vehicle. On the vehicle side, the adapter plugs directly into the J1962 port; on the device side, your existing main cable connects to it.

The adapter exists because certain vehicle modules require non-standard pin configurations during key programming and immobilizer procedures. The Converter V2 remaps those pins, allowing OBDSTAR software to communicate with the relevant module. The housing is marked Converter V2, identifying this second-generation adapter.

The adapter establishes the correct signal connection only. Whether a procedure can actually be performed depends on your device's vehicle menu — the adapter doesn't add models or functions on its own.

KEY BENEFITS

✔Connects directly between cable and vehicle — the adapter slides onto your existing main OBD2 cable and plugs into the J1962 port, with no extra wiring needed.
✔Enables procedures that would otherwise fail — the remapped pin configuration establishes key programming and immobilizer communication that won't work correctly over the standard cable.
✔Compact design — weighing just 0.05 kg, the adapter fits easily in your toolbox.
✔Clear version marking — the housing label makes it obvious you have the V2 model, preventing confusion with older converters.

IMPORTANT NOTES

✕Main OBD2 cable not included — you'll still need your OBDSTAR device's standard cable; the adapter doesn't replace it.
✕Not required for every procedure — only certain vehicle models and procedures need this adapter; for others, you connect directly.
✕OBDSTAR devices only — this adapter is designed for OBDSTAR systems and their software, not for diagnostic tools from other manufacturers.
✕Doesn't expand vehicle coverage — which key programming and immobilizer procedures are available depends on your device's software.

Applications and Features

The adapter is used for key programming and immobilizer work.

Modules You Can Access

  • Immobilizer module: the module you communicate with during immobilizer operations via the OBD2 port.
  • Additional modules via J1962: which control units are accessible varies by model and is determined by your device's vehicle menu.

What you can do

  • Connect to the vehicle: plug the OBDSTAR device's main cable into the vehicle's J1962 port.
  • Program keys: provide the correct signal routing during key programming procedures on supported models.
  • Perform immobilizer operations: communicate with the immobilizer module during IMMO procedures.
  • Avoid unnecessary attempts: check the vehicle menu beforehand to confirm whether the adapter is required for your chosen model.
  • Important: available procedures vary by model and OBDSTAR device.

Compatible vehicles and applications

The procedure you want to perform determines compatibility, not the vehicle model. The source documentation doesn't specify makes or model years; whether the Converter V2 is needed is shown in the OBDSTAR software's vehicle menu for your selected model and procedure.

  • Vehicles with 16-pin OBD2 (J1962): the adapter fits the standard diagnostic connector.
  • Key programming and immobilizer procedures: applicable to models for which OBDSTAR software requires this adapter.
💡
Good to know: Mount the adapter on the main cable, not between the cable and tablet; this keeps the vehicle connection stable. Check your OBDSTAR software's vehicle menu to confirm the Converter V2 is required for your model and procedure before ordering.
