Lonsdor K518 PRO-FCV: Nissan Primastar PIN damage solution

 Customer problem:

I tried Lonsdor K518 PRO-FCV on my Nissan Primastar, but can’t communicate.

I thought there was a problem with the OBD cable? (or units.)

Firmware was updated and 2 new licenses were activated.

OBD hardware self-test was tried. Connect 12v and OBD plugs (well secured)

Error: "Damage detected on pin 2! and pin 0!"

I also tried testing without an OBD cable, but got the same error…

No pins are broken or worn.

OBDSTAR X300 Classic G3 vs. OBDSTAR DC706

 Some users don’t quite understand the difference between OBDSTAR X300 Classic G3 (KeyMaster G3) and OBDSTAR DC706. To put it simply, G3 is a comprehensive diagnostic tool, while DC706 focuses on ECU.

This time we will not use the table for comparison, because the hardware specification comparison is not suitable for It doesn’t mean much for two tools with different specializations. I will only introduce the functional differences between the two.


OBDSTAR X300 Classic G3 vs. OBDSTAR DC706

Differences in ECU Programming:

  • DC706: Specialized for ECU cloning tasks with wider coverage, particularly in BCM and ECU functionalities.
  • X300 Classic G3: Can achieve similar functionalities as DC706 by purchasing additional licenses but is more of a general diagnostic tool.

Differences in IMMO Functions:

  • DC706: Does not support IMMO (Immobilizer) functions.
  • X300 Classic G3: Supports IMMO functions.

Differences in ODO METER Functions:

  • DC706: Does not support ODO METER (Mileage correction) functions.
  • X300 Classic G3: Supports ODO METER function(Car/ Moto), but requires paid activation.

Differences in Crash Reset(Battery/ Airbag/ SAS) Functions:

  • DC706: Does not support reset functions.
  • X300 Classic G3: Supports reset functions, but requires paid activation.

Summary of Key Points for Choosing:

  • DC706: Best for users focused on ECU/BCM/TCU cloning without requiring broader diagnostic capabilities. And if you need P001 multifunctional programmer, need to be purchased separately.
  • X300 Classic G3: Ideal for users seeking an expandable, all-in-one diagnostic and programming tool with additional features like IMMO. And G3 comes with MP001 (replace P003/P003+ adapter) and P004 adapters in default.

It should be noted that, just like the G3, which requires a software license to use related functions, the DC706 also has different software configurations, as shown in the following table:
