OBDSTAR Official Q&A: BMW BOSCH MD1 MG1 Bench Unlock

 With the recent software upgrade for OBDSTAR X300 Classic G3 (Key Master G3), DC706 ECU Tool, and ECU Master, technicians can now handle (2021-) locked BMW B48, B57, and B58 control units on the bench. Here are the facts regarding how this bench protocol functions and what operations it allows.

Q1: After I unlock an MG1CS201 or MG1CS024 DME (found on B58/S58 engines), can I flash off-the-shelf tunes through the OBD port?

A: Direct OBD flashing remains unavailable. The present firmware update is designed solely for pinout-based bench operations, allowing you to unlock, read, and write data without physically altering the circuit board.

Q2: Is OBDSTAR developing a solderless hardware adapter specifically for unlocking?

A: No adapter is planned. Non-invasive bench unlocking works exclusively on BMW units at present. Engine modules from other manufacturers still demand opening the casing and removing board resistors, making a universal plug-and-play adapter unfeasible.

Q3: Can we unlock, read, or write Indian-market MD1 ECUs built with the TC375 chip?

A: This specific processor is not supported yet. Currently, processor unlocking covers only MD1 and MG1 control units running on TC298 and TC2989 microcontrollers.

Q4: Does the unlock feature work on Bosch MD1 modules manufactured after June 2020?

A: Yes. The software unlocks a majority of post-June 2020 encrypted MD1 units containing TC29X processors (such as MD1CS012 and MD1CS003 variants). Note that MD1CS016 units powered by the TC399 chip are excluded.

Q5: Can I modify sectors 1, 2, and 3 or use popular OBD tuning software like MHD or Bootmod3 (BM3)?

A: No. Sector 1 through 3 modification is restricted. Although the software applies a permanent unlock, all subsequent reading and writing must be carried out through OBDSTAR tools.

Essential Operational Recommendations

To prevent ECU bricking or communication timeouts during the Boot unlock sequence:

1.Power Supply Stabilization:

Maintain a continuous, regulated power supply between 13.5V and 13.8V throughout the entire glitching and bench cycle.

2.Hardware Continuity:

Verify FLX4.1 cable integrity and Port E contact pins prior to initiating the Boot connection sequence.

3.Mandatory Backup:

Always perform a Full EEPROM and Flash Backup immediately after the initial Boot unlock before executing any custom calibration writes.

4.Connection Timeout Protocol:

Glitch execution times vary (10s to 25m). Do not disconnect power or terminate software routines prematurely during the connection phase.

Autel IM508 + Obdstar 30PIN Cable Add 2023 Toyota BZ4X Key

 Autel MaxiIM IM508 + Obdstar 30PIN Cable is able to add a new key for 2023–2024 Toyota BZ4X without pincode by OBD. The Toyota-30 Cable is a fairly new cable from Obdstar that allows to do 4A/8A-BA key programming without pincode. Surely we could also have TechStream or find the third party to pay for that codes.

Generally, Toyota-30 cable is designed for Obdstar X300 DP Plus & X300 Pro4, but it also works with Autel. Here I have a factory key and a new key, next I'll demonstrate how to add a new key to this vehicle.

Backup EEPROM Data

Pop airbag out to find the 30PIN port, plug in Toyota-30 Cable.

Then connect with Autel IM508.

IMMO >> Auto detect >> Toyota(Asia) >> OK >> OK >> Control unit >> Keyless system(CAN) >> Back up IMMO data

This function is used to back up EEPROM data of the smart main ECU, which can be used to perform IMMO related function without PIN.

This function supports models with 8A-BA smart key as of 2022(equipped with TMLF19D smart main ECU).

Press "Yes" to continue.

Ensure that the network connection of the device is good.

Turn the ignition off, and turn the hazard warning lamps on and off once.

Press "OK".

Reading EEPROM data…

Save EEPROM data file.

Add New Key

Add smart key >> Start

This function serves to learn keys. Please complete the steps within specified time.

Turn on the ignition.

Press "OK" to confirm VIN.

Have you backed up the EERPOM data of this vehicle? Yes

Select the saved file.

Reading PIN succeeded.

Keep a learned key close to the start button.

Learning succeeded.

Test the new key.

It does work. That's perfectly done.

BTW, this is 2023 Toyota BZ4X electric vehicle, and I've also done on 2024. it's not problem for Autel to handle it.
