The OBDSTAR CAN FD Adapter is the interface that enables your OBDSTAR tablet to communicate with vehicles using the CAN FD protocol. You insert it into the vehicle's OBD2 port and connect the tablet on the other end; without this adapter, communication with CAN FD vehicles will not be established.

CAN FD is the faster successor to the classic CAN bus and is used in vehicles from GM and Hyundai and Kia, among others. Four LED indicators on the housing — POWER, CANFD1, CANFD2 and SYSTEM — show whether power is present and whether there is traffic on the bus. The adapter does not need to be paired to a single device and can therefore serve multiple devices simultaneously.

KEY BENEFITS

No device pairing: The adapter does not require registration and can be used with multiple OBDSTAR devices.
Four LED indicators: POWER, CANFD1, CANFD2 and SYSTEM provide instant visibility of power and bus activity.
Direct connection to OBD2 port: No disassembly, no bench work; simply connect and start diagnosing.
Compact design: 113 x 75 x 31 mm and 100 grams; it fits easily in a drawer with your tablet.

IMPORTANT NOTES

CAN FD only. Vehicles using the classic CAN protocol do not require this adapter.
This is an accessory, not a standalone device. An OBDSTAR tablet is required.
Coverage is limited: OBDSTAR specifies GM and Hyundai and Kia; no vehicle make coverage is stated beyond these.
Power is supplied from the vehicle.If the POWER LED does not illuminate, the OBD2 port is not providing power.

Applications and functionality

The adapter sits between the vehicle's OBD2 port and your OBDSTAR tablet. The tablet performs the diagnostics; the adapter translates to CAN FD.

What you can do with it

  • Read CAN FD vehicles:Access control modules on vehicles that communicate using the CAN FD protocol.
  • Control modules:Perform operations on those modules using the standard functions of your tablet.
  • Check the connection:Use the LED indicators to verify power supply and monitor bus traffic.
  • Operate multiple devices:The adapter is not tied to a single device and can be used throughout the workshop.

What you need

The adapter does not work independently.Below is what you need.

  • An OBDSTAR tablet:The device that performs the diagnostics. OBDSTAR is the tablet series name, which includes the Key Master DP Plus.
  • A vehicle with CAN FD:The adapter has no function on vehicles using the classic CAN protocol.
  • A working OBD2 port:The adapter draws its power from the vehicle; if the POWER LED does not illuminate, there is no power supply.

OBDSTAR provides brand coverage for GM and Hyundai and Kia. Before purchasing, verify that the vehicle you are working on actually communicates via CAN FD.

💡
Good to know:When connecting, check that the POWER LED illuminates as soon as the adapter is inserted into the OBD2 port. If it does not, the adapter is not receiving power from the vehicle — first check the diagnostic port fuse before investigating further.
