The OBDSTAR TCM-030 connects the 2+10-pin connectors of the Temic transmission control unit on the DQ400 to the 15-pin DB15 port on your OBDSTAR device. OBDSTAR lists the cable for Audi/Volkswagen and links it to the DQ400E, the six-speed gearbox of the group's plug-in hybrids.

With the cable, you access the TCM directly at the connector, in the car or on the bench. OBDSTAR lists it for the RH850/V850 functions for reading IMMO data and flashing the control unit. You use it with the X300 Classic G3 or the DC706, together with the MP001 programmer.

PLUS POINTS

✔You reach the DQ400 control unit directly at the connector, bypassing the OBD2 port.
✔Suitable for reading IMMO data and flashing the TCM.
✔Works in the car and on the bench, with the TCM-MAIN extension cable or the M002 power cable.
✔Part of OBDSTAR's RH850/V850 range, alongside the other TCM cables.

POINTS TO NOTE

✕You need the MP001 programmer for this; the cable alone does not connect to the device.
✕The cable only fits the DQ400 control unit; other DSG gearboxes have a different connector.
✕Your OBDSTAR device must support the function for this TCM; an EOBD code reader does not work.
✕You must be able to reach the connector on the gearbox; depending on the model, you may need to remove components.
