The OBDSTAR TCM-011 adapter cable is specifically designed for direct connection to the Getrag VGS2-FCVT transmission control unit (TCM) in Mercedes-Benz passenger cars. This cable bridges the specific 6-pin TCM connector on the gearbox and the 15-pin DB15 connector of your diagnostic equipment, enabling the module to be connected on the workbench for advanced diagnostic and programming tasks.

Through this connection, the adapter guarantees stable transfer of CAN-bus signals and the required power supply for safely accessing the transmission module. The cable's pinout is precisely calibrated to the architecture of the VGS2-FCVT unit, preventing incorrect connections and ensuring reliable and safe communication during flashing or cloning of the TCM software outside the vehicle.

ADVANTAGES

✔ Enables a safe and direct connection for bench programming of the VGS2-FCVT transmission module.
✔ Features a specific 6-pin plug that fits exactly on the Getrag transmission unit.
✔ Ensures stable signal transmission during reading and writing of sensitive transmission data.
✔ Equipped with a robust DB15 interface for a solid connection to the programmer.

IMPORTANT NOTES

✕ Only compatible with OBDSTAR readers or programmers.
✕ Specifically designed for the Getrag VGS2-FCVT module and not suitable for other Mercedes-Benz transmissions.
✕ Requires the TCM module to be disassembled or physically accessible for bench applications.

Applications and functionalities

This adapter cable offers various technical functions for managing the Getrag CVT transmission module on the workbench in combination with OBDSTAR equipment.

  • Data reading and writing: Enables reading and overwriting the internal software (EEPROM and flash memory) of the transmission control unit.
  • TCM cloning: Facilitates transferring original module data to a replacement VGS2-FCVT module.
  • Bench diagnosis: Supports local testing and diagnosing of the TCM hardware outside the vehicle network.

Compatible vehicles and applications

The adapter cable is designed for use with specific Mercedes-Benz vehicles equipped with the Getrag VGS2-FCVT (722.8) continuously variable transmission. Note: using this cable always requires OBDSTAR bench programmers.

Mercedes-Benz:

  • A-Class W169: (2004 - 2012)
  • B-Class W245: (2005 - 2011)
💡
Good to know: Check beforehand that the pins of the VGS2-FCVT module are clean and oil-free before connecting the plug. Dirt or corrosion can cause voltage loss or communication errors during the programming procedure.
