This bench cable connects the 8-pin connector of the transmission control unit (TCM) of the Getrag MPS6 to the 15-pin DB15 side of your OBDSTAR unit. The MPS6, also known as 6DCT450 or Powershift, is a six-speed dual-clutch gearbox with wet clutches. You do not connect the cable to the OBD2 port, but directly to the removed control unit.

You use the cable to read and clone the TCM on the workbench, for example when replacing the unit. Adjusting the mileage in the TCM is also possible. The cable works with the OBDSTAR DC706 and the X300 Classic G3. The unit itself must have the software for the MPS6.

ADVANTAGES

✔The cable connects the removed TCM directly to your OBDSTAR unit; the vehicle's OBD2 port is not required.
✔Made for the bench functions of the OBDSTAR DC706 and the X300 Classic G3.
✔One cable for the MPS6, which is used in Ford, Volvo and some Chrysler and Dodge models.
✔Suitable for cloning a replacement TCM, so the data of the old unit is retained.

POINTS TO NOTE

✕Your OBDSTAR unit must support this TCM in its software; the cable does not add any functions itself.
✕A simple EOBD code reader does not work with this cable; it only reads emission-related OBD2 data.
✕The control unit must be removed from the vehicle or from the gearbox; expect dismantling work before you can connect.
✕Only fits the 8-pin TCM of the MPS6; the dry DPS6 and other gearboxes require a different cable.

Applications and functions

The cable is intended for garages and transmission specialists who read or clone a removed TCM.
