The OBDSTAR M042A connects the 8-pin diagnostic connector of Indian, Victory and Polaris vehicles to the 16-pin OBD2 port of your OBDSTAR tool. The connector is located on the vehicle itself. The location varies by model.

The three brands fall under Polaris and use the same 8-pin connector. With this cable you can read fault codes and live data from the engine control unit and other systems. The cable only converts the connector physically. The tool itself must support Indian, Victory or Polaris diagnostics, such as the MOTOMASTER.

ADVANTAGES

✔One cable for three brands: Indian, Victory and Polaris.
✔Suitable for models including the Indian Chief, Chieftain, Roadmaster, Scout and FTR.
✔Also usable with the Polaris Slingshot and Polaris quads with the 8-pin connector.
✔The cable works passively: no software or settings of its own are required.

POINTS TO NOTE

✕Your diagnostic tool must support the brand-specific Indian, Victory or Polaris diagnostics via the 8-pin connector; the cable does not convert protocols.
✕A simple EOBD code reader does not work with this cable; it only reads the standard OBD2 data of cars.
✕Not suitable for Polaris models with a 4-pin or 6-pin diagnostic connector.
✕The functions available vary by model, model year and the software of your tool.
