The OBDSTAR M081 is an adapter cable that converts a MAN 8-pin connection to a standard 16-pin OBD2 (J1962) connector. The cable is intended for use with MAN motorboat engines equipped with an 8-pin diagnostic port. This cable makes the engine diagnostic interface of the vessel accessible to OBDSTAR reading devices that operate with a standard OBD2 input.

The cable provides signal conversion between the factory-specific 8-pin MAN port and the universal 16-pin OBD2 interface, allowing the communication protocols of the MAN engine management systems to be correctly transmitted to the diagnostic device. The fixed wiring ensures that the correct pins of the MAN connector are connected to the corresponding OBD2 pin positions, enabling data exchange via existing protocols — such as K-line — without extra configuration.

ADVANTAGES

✔ Makes the MAN 8-pin diagnostic port accessible via a standard OBD2 interface, without additional hardware.
✔ Suitable for marine applications on MAN motorboat engines, which require specific connections not available as standard.
✔ The fixed pin wiring ensures a direct and correct connection between both connectors without further adjustment.

KEY POINTS

✕ Only compatible with OBDSTAR readers or programmers; not suitable for use with diagnostic equipment from other manufacturers.
✕ Only applicable to MAN motorboat engines with an 8-pin factory diagnostic connector; not suitable for other engine brands or vehicles.
✕ The available diagnostic functions depend on the capabilities of the connected OBDSTAR device and software support for MAN marine.

Applications and functionalities

The Adapter Cable enables OBDSTAR equipment to perform the following diagnostic functions on MAN motorboat engines through the MAN 8-pin port.

  • Read fault codes: The reading device reads stored and present fault codes from the engine management system of the MAN boat engine via the 8-pin connector.
  • Clear fault codes: After diagnosis and repair, stored fault codes in the engine system can be cleared via the Adapter Cable.
  • Request live data: Current sensor values and engine parameters are read in real-time from the engine management system via the MAN interface.

Compatible vehicles and applications

The compatibility below is based on available product information. The cable is intended exclusively for MAN motorboat engines with an 8-pin diagnostic connector.

MAN:

  • Motorboat engines (marine) with 8-pins OBD connector
💡
Good to know: The 8-pins MAN diagnostic connector is usually located near the engine management system in the engine compartment of the vessel. The exact location varies depending on the type of boat and engine installation.
