OBDSTAR Update Locked Bosch MG1/MD1 ECU Read Write Unlock (Coming Soon)

For automotive locksmiths, tuners, and diagnostic technicians, dealing with locked modern ECUs has always been one of the toughest bottlenecks in the workshop. Today, OBDSTAR has dropped a massive announcement that is set to change the game for bench programming.

Coming soon, OBDSTAR will officially support Locked Bosch MG1 and MD1 ECU reading, writing, and unlocking!

This highly anticipated software update will allow users to bypass factory security restrictions on some of the most common engine computers found in late-model BMW, Ford, Fiat Chrysler (FCA), and Isuzu vehicles.

Key Supported ECUs & Chipsets

This upcoming release targets highly popular TriCore-based Bosch controllers. Here is the initial breakdown of what is supported:

Note: More vehicle models and ECU types are planned to be added in future rollouts.

Crucial Hardware Requirement

To take advantage of this new unlock and read/write function, you will need the correct physical hardware interface.

Required Accessory:

This update strictly requires OBDSTAR RH850/V850 adapter kit (C4-06 adapter) to interface with the locked microcontrollers securely on the bench. Make sure your shop has this adapter ready to go ahead of the release!

How to Get Ready

This feature will be deployed as an over-the-air (OTA) software update directly to compatible OBDSTAR platforms, though features may vary slightly depending on your specific device configuration (such as OBDSTAR G3, OBDSTAR ECU Master, DC706 ECU Tool).

Make sure your subscription is active, your tablets are connected to Wi-Fi, and keep an eye out for the update notification in the coming weeks.
