ECU MASTER

OBDSTAR's professional ECU Flasher: clone, read, write and repair modules.
Passenger cars, EVs, motorcycles, trucks and tractors, plus crash resets.

See it in action
  • Clones ECU/TCM/BCM, so you can fit a junkyard module instead of buying new
  • Reads an open Master level memory file, with no outside vendor in the loop
  • CAN-FD, MP001 and P003+ already inside. Nothing extra to buy
PC based tool (Windows 10 and up). The software is split into 4 packages: A / B / C / D. Buy only what you need.

Why buy this tool

Saves money on every module

OEM software often demands a brand new module. Here you take a used one from a breaker, clone the data onto it and it runs. That price gap stays with you or your customer.

Saves cars with no parts left

On older vehicles the manufacturer sometimes has no new module in stock at all. Cloning a used one is occasionally the only route back onto the road instead of the scrapyard.

Open file, no vendor lock-in

Slave tools (AutoTuner, Alientech, Magic) tie you to one master. Here you read the unencrypted memory file and do what you want with it, yourself or through any tuner you pick.

A BSI/BCM list you rarely find elsewhere

OBDSTAR came up through the locksmith trade and it shows. Its body and security module coverage runs wider than most tuning tools that only chase engine and gearbox.

Four connection modes

From the most convenient down to deep chip level access. The tool moves between them depending on what the module allows.

OBDSTAR DC USB COMM IG ECU MASTER C2 C3 C4
OBD

Work straight through the diagnostic port without pulling the module. The easiest method, but you need stable voltage and the vehicle network awake.

BENCH

Take the module out of the car and connect directly to the connector pins on the bench. This is the most commonly used method when OBD is not an option.

BOOT

Open the module cover and connect to the chip's BOOT point. Pull the signal into programming mode and read or write over K-line or CAN.

JTAG/BDM

Direct low level access to the chip through the debug interface. This is what is left when neither OBD nor BENCH will talk.

Four software packages, pick what you need

Buy one package, a combination, or all of them (Full Version). The hardware is the same either way, the license is what opens the software.

Package A Passenger car and EV

Cloning and repair of ECM, TCM, BODY/BCM and BMS/VCU

Package B Motorcycles

Motorcycle ECM cloning and programming, dedicated package

Package C Trucks and tractors

ECM, TCM and BCM for commercial and heavy diesel vehicles

Package D Crash reset

Airbag, Battery Reset and SAS (steering angle)

From mid 2020 Bosch built much stronger security into MG1 and MD1 ECUs, the ones sitting in a huge share of today's BMW, Mercedes, VW Group, Ford, Stellantis and Isuzu vehicles. A programmer can still talk to the ECU, but the protected calibration area is simply shut. Without unlocking it you cannot read the original file and you cannot write a modified one.

Until now the answer was to pull the ECU out, ship it to a specialist unlock service abroad (AutoTuner, FEMTO and similar), wait a few days and get it back. That costs shipping, it costs vehicle downtime, and there is always the risk the module gets lost or damaged on the way.

How it works today
  1. Remove the ECU from the car
  2. Ship it to an unlock service abroad
  3. Wait several days
  4. Get it back, only then start work
What this function promises
  1. Remove the ECU
  2. Unlock it on your own bench
  3. Read, edit and write
  4. Back in the car the same day

OBDSTAR says more models are on the way.

If you are buying because of this function, read this first: it has been announced but not released yet. It will arrive in a software update, and OBDSTAR notes that updates vary by product configuration. It also requires the RH850/V850 adapter kit (C4-06 adapter), which is sold separately. We will update this page the moment it actually ships.
What about locksmiths? The main win here is for tuning, no argument. But ECU replacement and cloning are everyday immobilizer jobs, and as newer MG1/MD1 units get more heavily protected, local unlocking could make some of those replacement jobs possible without sending the module anywhere. It depends on the ECU family and the type of cloning: some modules can be handled through EEPROM or MCU data regardless, others need access to protected flash first.

What ECU MASTER is

The OBDSTAR ECU MASTER is OBDSTAR's first professional ECU Flasher that runs off a computer. It is built for cloning, reading, writing and repairing engine (ECM), transmission (TCM) and body (BCM/BSI) modules, across a wide range of passenger cars, EVs, motorcycles and heavy commercial vehicles: trucks, tractors and off-highway equipment.

It works in OBD, BENCH and JTAG/BDM, and ships with CAN-FD, MP001 and P003+ built into the unit. For most jobs that means no separate external adapters to buy.

Two ways it pays for itself

  • Module cloning: read the data off the original module, write it to a replacement, done. A cheap, fast answer to ECU, TCM and BCM faults.
  • Master level chiptuning: once you hold the open memory file, performance work is on the table. Do it yourself or through any tuner, with nobody locking you in.
Not only cloning and tuning. Package D adds airbag reset, Battery Reset and steering angle (SAS) repair, and a large share of modules also carry IMMO OFF and Checksum. That is what turns an ordinary tuning tool into a full service platform.
A word about power: some modules draw serious current, so for bench work use a regulated adjustable power supply rather than the charger in the box. The unit handles up to 26V / 5A. Set the voltage according to each module's operation guide.

ECU MASTER vs DC706 vs G3 FULL

An honest comparison: on many functions the fully activated G3 is an exact match. The real difference is trucks and the platform.

Feature ECU MASTER DC706 G3 FULL
Passenger ECM/TCM cloning Yes Yes Yes, identical coverage
Motorcycle ECM cloning Yes, package B Partial Yes, near identical
Trucks, tractors and HD Yes, package C No No
Airbag, Battery and SAS reset Yes, package D No, and cannot be added Yes, on the full version
MP001 programmer Built in Bought separately Included in the kit
CAN-FD Built in Needs an adapter Built in
Marine (boats and jet-ski) No Yes IMMO only
Platform Windows PC Standalone tablet Standalone tablet
The bottom line against G3 FULL: if you already own a fully activated G3, you get the same passenger and motorcycle cloning and the same crash resets. What the ECU MASTER adds is trucks, tractors and heavy equipment, plus a desktop working environment with a big screen that suits long flash jobs better.
And against dedicated tuning tools: the ECU MASTER is priced competitively next to Auto VEI (strong on BCM but very expensive, over 13,000 EUR) and The Genius (wide ECM/TCM coverage, around 8,000 EUR), and it adds truck coverage and crash resets on top of them.

This comparison was checked against the official coverage lists: passenger car ECM cloning is identical between the G3 and the ECU MASTER (2,050 entries on both), and on motorcycles the gap is only 25 entries in the ECU MASTER's favour. The DC706 is still a good pick if you need portability and want to work without a laptop.

Frequently asked questions

OBDSTAR has announced the function but has not released it yet. It will arrive in a software update and will require the RH850/V850 adapter kit (C4-06 adapter), sold separately. We will update here as soon as it ships.
Depends what you work on. For passenger car and motorcycle cloning and for crash resets, the full G3 gives you more or less the same thing. The ECU MASTER adds trucks, tractors and off-highway equipment, which the G3 does not cover, plus a desktop environment with a large screen. If you never touch heavy vehicles the case is weaker. Talk to us and we will help you decide.
Yes. On registration and activation you get 12 months of subscription included. Renew before it runs out and you get a reduced price; after it expires the price goes back to the standard rate.
No. The subscription only covers updates and downloads. Any software you already downloaded keeps working normally after it expires.
Strongly recommended. Some modules draw high current, so a regulated adjustable power supply beats the charger that comes in the box. The unit handles up to 26V / 5A, and you set the voltage per the operation guide.
A PC running Windows 10 or later. The unit connects to it over a USB Type-B cable and acts as the interface to the module.
Download and install the ECU MASTER software, connect the unit to your PC with the USB Type-B cable, go to [Personal Center] then [User Registration] and complete the registration. After that log in, click [Upgrade], tick everything and download all the software. We at KEYSHOP walk you through it.
