The OBDSTAR M053 is the adapter cable for Honda-specific 12-pin and 33-pin IMMO connectors on motorcycles and scooters. On the device side, the cable terminates in a standard 16-pin OBD2 (J1962)-connector, allowing you to connect the tool to the standard port.

Honda locates the immobiliser connector separately from the standard diagnostic port and uses two different connector formats for this purpose. Communication operates via the K-line protocol. The cable manages pin signal routing between those two connector types and the OBD2 side, ensuring the device receives the correct signals for key programming and system configuration. The cable provides access to the IMMO system only. Standard OBD2 diagnostic functions, such as reading fault codes or monitoring sensor values, are not supported through this connection. Your device must also have active software support for Honda IMMO applications on motorcycles.

KEY BENEFITS

Both IMMO connector formats — The 12-pin and 33-pin connectors are serviced by the same cable.
Direct connection to the OBD2 port — Connection is made without intermediate adapters to the 16-pin port on your device.
Reliable signal routing — Pin assignment between both connector types is fixed, which is critical during an IMMO session.
Designed for key work — The cable is intended for key programming and immobiliser system management via K-line communication.

IMPORTANT NOTES

Not standard OBD2 diagnostics — Reading fault codes or monitoring sensor values is not supported by this connector.
Vehicle models defined by series — Supported applications are described per series without model years; consult the OBDSTAR vehicle list for current coverage.
OBDSTAR equipment only — This cable cannot be used with diagnostic or programming systems from other manufacturers.
Does not add vehicle coverage — Your device must have active software support for Honda motorcycle IMMO systems.

Applications and functionality

This connection provides access to the immobiliser system of Honda motorcycles and scooters.

Control units you can reach

  • IMMO control unit: The unit where the vehicle's key and transponder information is stored.
  • Other systems: Not via this cable; the connector is reserved for IMMO operations.

What you can do

  • Programme keys: Pair new keys or transponder units with the immobiliser system via the K-line connection.
  • Read IMMO data: Retrieve existing key information and system status from the IMMO control unit.
  • Verify transponder: Compare a key's transponder code against the data stored in the IMMO system.
  • Clear keys: Remove previously paired keys or transponder codes from memory.
  • Note: Which IMMO operations are available depends on the model and your device's software support.

Compatible vehicles and applications

The 12+33-pin IMMO connector is the determining factor, not the model. Support is defined per Honda series without model-specific production years. Consult the OBDSTAR vehicle list for the most current coverage.

Honda:

  • CB series (various models): Motorcycles equipped with Honda 12+33-pin IMMO connector
  • CBR series (various models): Sport motorcycles with Honda IMMO system and 12+33-pin diagnostic connector
  • PCX series: Scooters and lightweight motorcycles with Honda IMMO 12+33-pin connector
  • Forza series: Maxi-scooters equipped with Honda IMMO system and corresponding 12+33-pin connector
💡
Good to know: The Honda IMMO diagnostic connector (12+33-pin) is typically located beneath the seat or behind a cover panel, and therefore not at a fixed OBD location as found on passenger vehicles. Before ordering, verify that your device supports Honda IMMO functions for motorcycles, as without that software coverage the cable will be of no use.
